In this post I'll show what happens when we subtract any potential Germanic ancestry from the Krakauer Berg samples. German LBK is being used as a source of the neolithic ancestry and any deviation from this genetic profile should trigger the inclusion of Germanic sources in the output. Modern Norwegian, Icelandic and Danish samples are being used in the Germanic group. As you can see below the shift can be quite substantial and almost all individuals show this potentially Germanic ancestry. "Potentially", because in fact in can come from any CWC-rich source, but we are being generous and for the sake of simplicity we assume that all of it is a recent Germanic admixture.

The second reflection should be that there is a cline at all! Multitude of people still claim that the early Sla
