The drastic change probably comes from including Western Turks from around Istanbul into a separate "Anatolian" category. They share a lot of ancestry with people from Southeast Europe, with many of them having recent ancestry from there. 23andme might find a way to isolate that signal, as this...

Well, I didn't read enough about Cimmerians personally, but recently researchers discovered the remains of several Cimmerians in Moldova. From a genetic point of view, they looked quite Asiatic for modern Iranians. They resemble speakers of Eastern Iranic languages more.

I put together a PCA map, which documents the autosomal profile of the released academic samples who are relevant to Southeast Europe. This is the timeline of how your ancestors looked like from an autosomal POV during different time periods. We are missing a lot of data still, but some...

You could post your full GEDmatch results for a clearer picture.

Since I have your attention on Albanians and a more inland origin, you might want to consider this: https://indo-european.info/indo-europeans-uralians/index.htm#t=VIII_11_Balkan_province-.htm%23viii_11_Thracians_and

I'm pretty sure that Macedonians are more Gypsy admixed than Romanians.

All Romanians are closer to each other than to neighbours generally. But that's not what you have read. Those counties are where his personal matches come from. So the distribution is specific to him. Bucharest, like all other capitals, should bot be taken into consideration, since it has people...

Well, here's Wallachia: https://hrcak.srce.hr/file/63794 "We analyzed 1910 unrelated individuals from 14 of 15counties in Wallachia region as follows: 259 samples fromArgeş, 148 from Brăila, 10 from Buzău, 11 from Călăraşi, 215from Dâmboviţa, 288 from Dolj, 114 from Giurgiu, 154 fromGorj, 117...

Shepherd boy, I'm not trying to be rude, but you can't just outright lie and quote him as evidence. The guy clearly says the opposite from you. Here's a translation for the non-Romanian speakers.

This boy? Presa Locală: Suntem slavi sau latini? Cu cine ne înrudim? Florin Stanciu: Din punct de vedere genetic suntem un amestec de influențe, din care, în zilele noastre cea slavă este dominantă. Acest lucru a fost dovedit studiind mai multe categorii de markeri genetici și folosind cele...

Got any sources for these autosomal connections?

For the relatives, I suggest filtering to 4 grandparents. Here's a personal example: Russia - 60 relatives; with 4 grandparents - 0 Germany - 28; with 4gp - 0 So for me the distribution of relatives (without the New World) overall looks like this: Poland (74) Ukraine (66) Russia (60) Romania...

At least it's clean for once, but I liked the previous iteration more. They explain it themselves in the description of the category. "Despite broad cultural and religious diversity, the people of the Balkans are genetically similar to one another, descending from early Mediterranean and...

Geographically, it's at the crossroads of the Balkans and Eastern Europe. The better term would be Southeastern Europe. But genetically, Romanians are closer to Bulgarians and Serbs than the latter are to Croatians, Albanians and Greeks for example, so being included in a cluster with them makes...
