a black balkan samurai :cool-v:

Mine updated, it used to be around 60% Balkan and 30% Eastern European. Now I'm much more Balkan, and related to Greeks? Uh, also... slightly related to Sudanese and Japanese... So does this mean I'm part Greek? I am a bit more southern shifted than typical Croats or Bosnians, according to...

So firstly I have to say I believe they are. I'm only asking this because lately I've seen so many people saying that ancient Greeks were white with typically brunette, blonde and red hair, and that the swarthy/tan Mediterranean look of modern Greeks is from centuries of intermixing with Turks...

So... can anyone tell me what this actually means lol? Admix Results (sorted): # Population Percent 1 European_HG 38.8 2 Anatolian_NF 33.11 3 Caucasus_HG 20.23 4 Beringian 2.05 5 Near_East 1.52 6 South_African_HG 1.45 7 Siberian 1.32 8 Amerindian 0.95 9 Oceanian 0.56...

I wondered, due to the migration of the south Slavs whether a Dacian component is probable, as opposed to Vlach/native, for the general population. And yeah I believe that was the reference, though I'm not sure whether there was more to it, I don't have much information on old Croat culture in...

Yeah my calculators are funky to say the least... that K15 I showed before plots me closest to Bulgarians, then Romanians, then Croats. I'm not sure why, I guess I have more a mix related to those people than the typical Croats (probably being paleo-balkan of some kind). My K13 is as follows...

Yeah I absolutely agree. My family is Croatian from Bosnia, and are a microcosm of that. My mother is fair, blonde, blue-eyed, with a round face, you would call her stereotypically Polish. My father on the other hand is tall, broad shouldered, with a dark complexion, and longer head shape (I...

You say that but I've read an article that explains how, autosomal dna shows South Slavs being no closer related to north Slavs than they are with Hungarians and Romanians.

As far as I've learned, haplogroups are a tiny part of genetic identity. Wilkes is an expert, he presents what Romans and Greeks wrote, and what was found from archeological sites.

I've been reading The Illyrians by John Wilkes. It's immensely interesting and enlightening on these vaguely known people. Some of the things that caught my attention were passages of how Celts settled and endured in Pannonia. How the Greeks dominated and colonized islands off the Croatian...

I have another question; how important are haplogroups in determining a peoples ethnic identity?

To be honest that's how most of it feels

Yes I do have matches to the Szolad Romans

That's incredible. It's also very amazing to me because on almost all my autosomal tests It shows me very closely related to Romanians and Moldovans. As I mentioned my k36 for example. They're some of my highest matches , whereas Greeks and Albanians are much more distant to me.

That's insane, and I think makes much more sense. I mean a Croatian from Bosnia having heavy steppe ancestry sounds odd, but Dacian and Thracian doesn't seem as far-fetched. I never thought of a possible connection with those two people groups, living in the region that was once Illyria most of...
