I think there is too much emotions here for no reason.
While modern Albanians and mainland Greeks are almost indistinguishable autosomaly, there is contention if Illyrians and Ancient Greeks had a similar connection.
For one we have a couple of autosomal profiles from the period. We have modern North Italian like profiles. Then we have a blip of modern Albanian-Greek admixture with the Logkas samples in Thessaly in the BA. Then we have a third profile which is Cyprus East-Med / Anatolian / Levant leaning.
The Lazaridis Minoan and Mycenean paper using formal f-stats came to the conclusions that Italians (North, and some South, Greeks, Albanians and Cypriots) had continuity with Minoans and Myceneans. This was demonstrated in a far more superior model that simple admixture calculators. So I will take Lazaridis analysis over amateur tools (as much as I like them). But at the same time just as I, using admixture calculators have my closest match in EBA Maros, and EBA Logkas samples, does not mean a 1:1 continuity, as adding 5 to 1 then removing 4 and then 1, would lead to 1 without some "pure" continuity. What we can say though, is that profiles such as Logkas, which is the closest to modern Greeks/Albanians were being admixed since EBA. What we cant say for sure with current evidence is that Ancient Greeks and Ancient Illyrians were close autosomally, although it remains an attractive hypothesis when considering a yet to be analyzed southern Illyrian population.
