J2b2-L283 and 190cm . I don't think Y-DNA plays a role at all.

Cool. There are other studies that show some of those countries listed as even taller like Croatia, Norway, etc though I am not even sure any more as these different studies seem to vary a lot . But I support that the average height in those countries isn't more than 1.80 . For example I live...

I think you made a pretty good map, even showing the difference among people of the same countries or populations, nice job.

^ Where is Kosovo ? It has like an average height of 179-180 cm

People said Albanians are Illyrians way before Enver Hoxha. Thunmann and Georg Von Hahn are pretty good examples. Georg Von Hahn did a linguistic approach on this and based on the genetic evidence we have of the Bronze Age J2b2-L283 and R1b he certainly seem to of been right. Nothing compareable...

I looked at the study and these people don't even have any idea about Y-DNA and their sub clades and can't even break them down. If I also understood it correctly, They also are comparing Balkanites to non-Balkan South European populations and claiming the difference must be due to Ottoman...

There isn't much influence from what I have seen, atleast not in Albanians, I think there is more influence the opposite and also some Turks in the Balkans are Turkified natives. There might be some very small influence and also some very small gypsy influence in Balkan nations but nothing...

I think it's a nice country. Planning on going there soon again. I like Southern Europe the most despite I don't live there right now but planning on moving back to the South in the near future.

The Avar invasion of Dalmatia around the year 630 also had consequences for New Epirus and Praevalis. The Romans in Dalmatia often took refuge in Durrës. In 640, the Croats and Serbs wrested Dalmatia from the Avars, but they kept it for themselves. The Romans only managed to hold on to a few...

The Illyrians and Thracians had always been major peoples in Europe. But did they have the same origin or did they stem from different peoples? None of the ancient writers ever asserted that the two peoples had the same origin or that the Illyrians and Thracians were as close to one another as...

1774 Johann Thunmann: On the History and Language of the Albanians and Vlachs I would now like to turn to the actual history of the Albanians and of the country they inhabit. They are the descendents of the ancient Illyrians, whereas their neighbours, the Vlachs, whose ancient history I will...

Just because he fought some Illyrians doesn't mean that he wasn't Illyrian or didn't have any Illyrian ancestry. The idea of nationality back then or national counsciousness did not even exist. People were more tribal or people ruled through kingdoms and decisions were made by higher powers like...

There is no way a sample that South of the Balkans is gonna plot with North Italians. Nothing extra in Albanians has been introduced in the Balkans since like the Bronze Age that had any large genetic impact. And almost nothing in Greeks except for Pontic maybe. Republic of Macedonia for the...
