    Classify this picture of my first gen Greek mom in her early teens

    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.

    Comparing modern Greek/Balkan populations to Classical/Hellenistic sample from Macedonia.

    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.

    Comparing modern Greek/Balkan populations to Classical/Hellenistic sample from Macedonia.

    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...

    Comparing modern Greek/Balkan populations to Classical/Hellenistic sample from Macedonia.

    Ok I can see the mercenary connection. But these samples are pretty random and isolated.

    Comparing modern Greek/Balkan populations to Classical/Hellenistic sample from Macedonia.

    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...

    Comparing modern Greek/Balkan populations to Classical/Hellenistic sample from Macedonia.

    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...

    Comparing modern Greek/Balkan populations to Classical/Hellenistic sample from Macedonia.

    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...

    Comparing modern Greek/Balkan populations to Classical/Hellenistic sample from Macedonia.

    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...

    Question What did Paleo Balkan people look like?

    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...

    Comparing modern Greek/Balkan populations to Classical/Hellenistic sample from Macedonia.

    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...

    G25 G25 imperial Greek shift in Greeks and Italians + a comparison with qpAdm

    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...
