She's a first generation Greek who's parents came from Arcadia and Messinia, Peloponnese. Interested in her phenotype and where she would best fit in. I'm guessng South Ballkans.
I agree. It's funny you mention that but I remember noticing during my trips to my grandfather's (;paternal) mountain village in Messinia many of the women "looked" Slavic and the men much less so.
Arvanites are typically Southern Albanian Tosk's right? So they wouldn't necessarily be carrying any additional Slavic admixture. I guess the further North you go the more Slavic you'd find. I'm kind of thinking that there was a total absorption of the Slavic population that may have raised the...
The Eastern African related migration makes no sense at all.Who were these migrants and why would they move to mainland rural areas of the Balkans. A migration to a cosmopolitan center like Athens, Salonika or Constantinople I could see but in the middle of rural areas that was totally...
I'm not sure of the relevance of this sample to a discussion of comparing this Macedonian sample to modern South Balkaners. Remember this is merely a comparison to suggest other reasons for autosmal proximity to ancient Macedonians other than 7th c. Slavic admixture. I'm under the impression...
Yes but this this is referring to the West Asian input from Anatolia during the Bronze Age. I've never disagreed with this. That's why you see the Iran Neolithic and/or Levantine input (came with later Anatolian migrations who's autosmal makeup was different than original farmers) in Southern...
G25 is so accurate for me as someone of 75% Messinian/25% Arcadian Peloponnesian descent;

I still don't really see evidence of West Asian migration/admixture in mainland Greece during Roman times. Can you cite specific migrations; when and where? If you try to model mainland Greeks with this Roman Imperial Anatolian admixture you have to use disparate non historical populations to...

First of all when you
First of all you absolutely cannot compare modern phenotypes to Bronze Age, Iron Age or Classical era populations. But this photo is representative of a "soft' modern phenotype and there has been a "lightening" of pigmentation throughout Europe from antiquity on. I would...
Why is that we assume that all modern mainland Greeks or Balkan people with 1/3 Steppe have Slavic admixture. Ok I realize the Stamtayanolopoulos paper mentioned that there was minor IDB sharing with Slavic populations but what if there is continuity in all of modern Greece with Northern Greek...
Here's a comparison of various Balkan/Greek groups to Classical/Hellenistic sample from Macedonia. The results are interesting and gives a sense of how modern mainland Greek's genetic profile has shifted Northeast from the Hellenestic period on;

Your first statement is super far-fetched. Am I reading you right? Mainland Greeks from the Classical through Hellenstic period were "Calabrian like" in the North (Northern Greece) to Aegean like in the South? That's putting a hell of a lot impetus on the Slavic settlements of the 7th c. You're...
