I have just been informed of these papers and have not had a chance to rate them myself, but they seem of interest to a general audience interested in how genetically inter-related ALL of us Europeans are... that is supposed to be the thesis.
When people trace an ancestor in the mid-18th century, they have discovered barely 1/1000th of their ancestors alive at that time, meaning they know nothing about 99.9% of "who they are," as some project what genealogy from so long ago discovers. Genetic research published this week now estimates that about everyone alive on the continent merely 1,000 years ago is among each modern European's ancestors, even with people as far apart as Ireland and the Balkans. Here's the original article, "The Geography of Recent Genetic Ancestry across Europe," and here a more readable digest. So... is that who we are, Europe around 1000 CE?
