I like to have faith in the outsiders to win but propably France Brazil or Argentina or maybe the English are going to win it. Italy was really lucky to win the Euro even luckier than Greece in 2004

You are mistaken the Greek Macedonians used for the studies are people who can trace all their ancestry to Macedonia and have no Asia minor or pontic Greek or any other refugee ancestry . That's why they are pretty much identical to Epirotes, Albanians and Thessalians

I can't wait for the paper to be released it's going to answer so many questions. Some samples from the MBA and EIA seem to cluster between modern Greeks and myceneans

The truth is that Greek Epirotes, Western Macedonians and Southern Albanians pretty much cluster together so there is definitely some ancient connection there. I have even noticed sone N. Macedonians being closer to Albanians and Greeks than Bulgarians. The Slavic part is definitely over...

First of all Anatolia Neolithic is not the same as BA Anatolia. Eastern med islands have more BA Anatolia admixture not neolithic. Dude relax we need samples to be sure about anything

I believe that the population with the most homogenous phenotypes in southern Europe have to be the Albanians. Here in Greece is easy to tell who is Albanian most of the time, especially male Albanians

I play witcher 3 currently on ps4. Really good game

I think 50% replacement is to much.If Northern Greeks have been 50% replaced by slavs then there is 70% population replacement in Bulgarians and about 50% in Albanians

Something is missing through the distance is quite high, most propably a Rome imperial sample would make it better

I think you did a good job. This model should pretty much work for all balkanites plus some germanic for Croatians and Slovenes

If is it easy can you send the link of the study?? I remember they used the empuries samples to calculate the native admixture

Anyone who is familiar with Byzantine history knows that after the Romans recaptured Greece they pretty much killed or expelled all the slavs they found with maybe few surviving pockets remaining here and there. The same can be told for Albania especially the North where the slavs couldn't...

I have to agree with the other users here the authors seem to have done a poor job modelling modern balkan people.Why would they ever use ancient Greeks as a proxy to calculate the pre slavic component in modern South slavs??? Why aren't they at the very least using the Iron age Bulgarian...

So how much slavic ancestry do you believe Greeks and Albanians have if we assume that modern South slavs have on average 40-55% ancestry associated with slavs?

I also don't give much trust to these calculators. I think in this case the best way to see if northeastern Italians have slavic genes is to see if they carry haplogroups associated with slavs

from what I have seen north Eastern Italians do score some slavic in calculators but no more than 10-15%. In the rest of Italy is pretty much non existent

thanks archetype I appreciate it I'm gonna run some models when I have more spare time

it would be nice if you could run Greek Albanian and other balkan populations averages using the k13 ancient

Sometimes ydna isn't totally accurate for example Armenians have 20% r1b but autosomally they have only 5% steppe
