Unless somethings changed, last I checked a majority of Greek PF7562 belongs in Albanian branches. However, there are a few (though minimum) cases where they stand independently of Albanian clades. Perhaps those represent such continuity.

As per Open Genomes follow up analysis in relation to Gorans' from FTDNA. They confirm no evidence of contamination on their analysis. See below: https://genarchivist.net/showthread.php?tid=1609&pid=51624#pid51624:~:text=Joined%3A%20Oct%202023-,%23228,-48%20minutes%20ago

Musk mentioned in an old interview that Empathy is a human weakness to be discarded. That's all one needs to hear to know that this man entrusted with dealing with important decision making spells trouble. And before anyone comes to his defense, i think both left and right are a problem. Right...

Hey Maciamo, Could you cite which Corded Ware samples had M458? I know it was a Corded lineage but I wasn't aware we had aDNA of it. Also, is there any chance you plan to update the R1a page or M458 maps and findings? I have actually gathered all the MBA, IA, and Late Antiquity and Early...

People are becoming increasingly divided and tribal once again, making the idea of a single unified global ethnicity unlikely. While a melting pot dynamic may apply at the national level in some cases, on a global scale, genetic isolates and non-mixing populations will likely continue to exist...

I doubt they would intentionally ignore you. You should email them directly; their contact information is available on the website. Or, if you like, I would be happy to introduce you directly. Unless you share the same village, clan, and Y-DNA haplotype as another tester within the same exact...

That's because sampling is not so simple and easy. It comes down to finding the human resources to contribute to collection. Gathering funds, convincing people to test etc. Some people are still apprehensive and don't trust testing. At one point there was practically zero samples in Southern...

Your entire argument is pure deflection, paranoia, and zero science. You’ve provided no study that even remotely competes with Rrenjet in sample size, regionalization, or testing depth. Instead, you cite a pathetic 314-person study (only 102 Albanians) and another with just 111, while somehow...

Your attempt at "evidence" is not only laughably insufficient but also insulting to basic scientific standards. You are seriously presenting two minuscule studies - one with 314 samples (not even exclusively Albanians) and another with only 111, against Rrenjet’s near 2,000 Albanian dataset with...

So your entire argument boils down to posting a generic pie chart from a sample of 386 Macedonians, with zero regional breakdown, no explained methodology, and no transparency on where the samples were collected—and you think that somehow refutes an extensively detailed database of nearly 2,000...

Your response is a masterclass in intellectual dishonesty, packed with baseless accusations, logical fallacies, and empty rhetoric. You’ve provided zero data, zero sources, and zero valid counterpoints, while resorting to conspiracy theories, personal attacks, and laughable deflections. This was...

Samples on Kosove are growing. And many are currently testing WGS. Rrenjet is also launching a sub project within, which aims to test those of Albanian descent in, Turkey, the Levant and other areas they went to.

Yes, because smaller generalized sample sizes are always more reliable than larger more detailed ones, right? lol

Your claims are demonstrably false and entirely disconnected from actual data. The Rrenjet project provides the largest and most detailed Albanian Y-DNA dataset to date, covering nearly 2,000 samples with precise regional breakdowns that no other study even comes close to matching. Yet you claim...

Your claims are based on unverified assumptions rather than data. If you’re going to challenge Rrenjet’s findings, you need to present concrete alternative studies with transparent methodologies, not vague generalizations. What studies are you referring to? What regions were sampled? What was...
