Females were buried in about 20% of graves of the lower and middle Volga river region during the Yamna and Poltavka cultures. Two thousand years later, females dressed as warriors were buried in the same region. About 20% of Scythian-Sarmatian "warrior graves" on the lower Don and lower Volga contained females dressed for battle as if they were men, a phenomenon that probably inspired the Greek tales about the Amazons. A near-equal ratio of male-to-female graves was found in the eastern Manych steppes and Kuban-Azov steppes during the Yamna culture. In Ukraine, the ratio was intermediate between the other two regions.
Is this Basque origin responsible for high rh negative frequencies in Europe?
As I have previously stated, it wouldn’t make sense that the Basque population, still 1/3rd rh negative despite mixing with neighbors, would be a result of Early Farmer ancestry with 4% rh negatives and Hunter Gatherers with 24% rh negatives. The scientist claiming these percentages has yet to show real proof, but for argument’s sake, I will run with the numbers as they sound reasonable enough. If we compute expected phenotypic frequencies, this suggests that around around 65% of Mesolithic hunter-gatherers would have been type O, compared to around 40% in present-day Europeans, and around 40% of Steppe-ancestry individuals would have been Rh-, compared to around 24% of hunter-gatherers, 4% of early farmers, and about 16% of present-day Europeans.
Of course, it would be easy to dismiss this theory completely. Or lose ourselves in mysteries as alternate solutions.
There is however one that would make sense to me:
What if it is a part of the overall rh negative personality traits that rh negative people are natural born explorers? What if the ones who took the step to migrate all the way to the west until the ocean’s presence stopped their ability to go further were much higher in rh negative frequencies than the population they originated from?
