"How much Western Hunter Gatherer ancestry do I have?"
There are so many ways to analyse an individual's genetic ancestry. It depends largely on what reference populations you compare it to, basically.
These are two analyses run on the same sample. Not only do the different reference populations result in different percentages of WHG, some of the other groups will also contain partial WHG ancestry.
EHG is already ANE + WHG
ENF is already Anatolian Farmer + WHG
Either way, surprisingly high WHG component in this sample from a modern Englishman.

Looking everywhere for this map of the "bronzization" of Europe and found this old post of mine.
Britain started using bronze about 2200 BC. The Bell Beaker era had seen western Europe linked by common ancestry, culture, and probably language and would develop into sustained trade networks. You can see how technology and trade in tin would spread through these old links, even after the cultural "unity" had declined into regional differences.
Not all Europe's tin came from Cornwall and Brittany, there was more in central Europe and Iberia and other sources here and there like in central Italy. But tracking actual tin sources is really hard, harder than tracing origins of ancient copper and gold, and we don't really find any tin mines (probably all blown to bits by later extraction).

An anti-English commenter took issue with my statement that Britain transitioned to full tin-bronze much earlier than most of the rest of Europe.
But yes Britain did move from arsenical copper to tin bronze technology around 2150 BC - centuries earlier than other regions in Europe.
Of course Britain had one of the main sources of tin in Cornwall (black circles on the map), along with a centuries old tradition of copper mining expertise. So it was well placed to make this technological breakthrough.

These incredible golden hats are surely among the most spectacular artefacts from bronze age Europe. When and how were they made? Who did they belong to? And what were they for?
This is the story of the mysterious Golden Hats of Bronze Age Europe and the bronze age solar cult.
I hope you enjoy the video. Please share it, that would help me enormously.
Cheers!

Óðinn Worship in Christian Sweden
-Saints, Peasants and Warriors
-The Case of Eric Clauesson
-The Case of Ragvald Odenskarl
-Norse Paganism in the Middle Ages
During the Middle Ages, Óðinn worship continued in Sweden post-conversion. The court trials of Eric Clauesson (d. 1492) and Ragvald Odenskarl (d. 1484) provide a great insight into the way Óðinn worship evolved in 15th century Sweden.
