Abstract in brief

  • The study identifies two main sources of Y chromosome heritage in Russians: one predating the East-West Slavic linguistic split and common across these groups, and another linked to Finnish-Ugric tribes, with a significant presence of haplogroup hg N3.
  • The genetic makeup of Russian Y chromosomes shows a north-south clinal variation pattern, similar to autosomal markers, indicating gradual changes in genetic composition across geography.
  • Multidimensional scaling analysis reveals that most Y chromosome data cluster within ethnic groups, with clear distinctions mainly between Poles, Ukrainians, and Russians, highlighting shared patrilineal ancestry but limited crossing of interethnic boundaries.]

I want to highlight this video and I’d highly suggest you watch it even for a few minutes to get a sense of how much Americans DON’T know about Russia Ukrainian relations. This “pure Slav” fight is very real. Russians are NOT Slavs? https://t.co/oxBFaPn5OD via @YouTube

@EleEphemeral @pizdoboldestroy @LauraLambent @Propaganda69829 @mtmalinen Fellie, you don't have to believe me; you can read the scientific literature for yourself, e.g. American Journal of Human Genetics. 82 (1): 236–50. doi:10.1016/j.ajhg.2007.09.019. But I suspect someone like you might not be able to grasp concepts or understand many words.
