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...

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...

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...

My results updated and I finally have some close matches, but I have some questions. I'm ethnic Croat, yet I have the most in common with "Romans". By Romans does it mean Romanized Illyrians/Pannonians/whatever. Because I definitely have no Italian in me, judging by results from every test I've...

Found this interesting article: https://phys.org/news/2017-04-tallness-herzegovinian-men-linked-gene.html Summed up it says how certain hunter gatherers would have eaten meat from large prey animals, rich in protein etc, and grown to great size, and have stayed as such for long enough that it...

What test would you consider the best for seeing your closest related modern populations? Eurogenes K15, K36? Something else?

Seems about right wonder where those small samples come from

Well so far this feels much more accurate than most other autosomal tests I've taken! Admix Results (sorted): # Population Percent 1 Neolithic 27.46 2 Caucasian 26.38 3 NorthEastEuropean 25.23 4 Steppe 17.53 5 Siberian 1.89 6 Amerindian 1.16 7...

I don't seem to have any

Yeah it doesn't make much sense to me
