These people were Urnfielders, maybe Lusatians. They were pre Slavs but became significant in the proto Slavic gene pool as a lot of Tollense warriors match closest with Ukrainians, Polish and Slovakians today

I'm not sure about this line being Slavic, it isn't very common - https://www.yfull.com/tree/R-FGC43622/ Maybe it was Thracian or Vlach, it even has presence in Italy which could mean that it was in Balkans prior to Slavic expansion

Already wrong because Baltic people have some Uralic/Asian input

This is not based on ancient DNA, if Tollense war is Urnfield related it tells us that Celts had nothing to do with it as the DNA is nothing like Celts who probably formed later anyway. The majority of the Tollense warriors matched closest to Slavs (Polish/Ukrainians/Slovaks) in terms of modern...

Yes an average of some of the warriors from LBA Tollense. It is surely clear that Urnfield started in east Europe and expanded westward, there is no other reason for these eastern European like people to travel in big numbers to Tollense if it wasn't to conquer or defeat a local army there. My...

Are these horizantal index charts based on the historical region of Albania or all of Europe? It looks like there was a major change between 1600BC to 1200BC

La Tene for sure spoke Celtic, Hallstatt may have spoken proto Celtic but that is debatable without more evidence, it is more likely that late Hallstatt was Celtic speaking when the culture drastically changed in Hallstatt C & D probably due to new leadership from the west - "In the central...

My idea right now is that Macedonians were related to Dorians (therefore also Epirotes). Dorians invaded Mycenae (Dark Ages) and mixed with them to form the various tribes such as Sparta etc. The Dorians that mixed less with Mycenaeans as they stayed further north instead mixed more with...

Don't worry about any of that, after Tollense samples Western Europeans have given up on linking Celts with Urnfield/Lusatians as they are closest to Poles and Ukrainians and very far from French, British etc. The Polish archeologists seemed to be correct all along to link Lusatians to proto...

What are you on about? It says that Poles and Ukrainians are closest to the Tollense Lusatians with 86/85 similarities. It tells us that Poles and Ukrainians are the "purest" Slavs

Lusatians have nothing to do with Celts as the study and Tollense sampled showed, it literally shows that proto Slavs are related to Lusatians

I agree that Macedonians were not genetically the same as Mycenaeans, in terms of the language they probably spoke something like Doric Greek which formed after the Dorian invasion from north

Macedonians were involved in many conflicts were cremating all the bodies may have not been possible. Whole of Greece wasn't cremating in the iron age, there is no excuse for lack of aDNA from ancient Greece -...

I think it's weird that there hasn't been much research done in Macedonia yet, it's like some people are afraid to uncover the truth

Lusatians wouldn't have been exactly like modern Slavs, they were proto Slavs or ancestral to the Slavs. This is who the majority of Tollense warriors matched with and you can read this article to understand why Western Europe doesn't care much about researching this more -...
