    Ottoman Empire (Balkans)

    Greek and modern Serb sources are not reliable at all btw And yes you can say Catholics as co religionists, in many cases had it far worse than Orthodox who were more privileged , your average Muslim peasant suffered the same as Christian peasants at the hands of local Muslim lords also, of...

    Ottoman Empire (Balkans)

    Devshirme: This is from wiki but I will add from Noel Malcolm later to see his matter on this. Northern Albania was mostly Catholic until 18th century, And some of the countryside of Kosovo had significant Catholics until 1690. Islamization in Kosovo was mainly in the towns in the start...

    Intelligence What characterises people with high IQ's ?

    Wouldn't someone of high intelligence be able to recognize their own emotional patterns, what provokes them and control their own emotions and try to look at things on the brighter side though ? Some people I know who were school smart got scammed online and I knew it was a scam. I even told him...

    Intelligence What characterises people with high IQ's ?

    Really ? I am impatient but I don't consider myself a high IQ genius. I think there are other or more important traits besides IQ. What do you think about genes for creativity and other things like motor skills, memory ?

    Comparing Ancient Greek populations to modern Greeks and Italians

    Yeah, there are some similarities with Ancient Greeks . But they don't cluster 100% with all mainland Greeks but there are some modern Greeks who are like that unless I am wrong . I am not an expert nor studied this in detail but I also remember one of the samples was like a Kosovo Albanian or...

    Kosovo: Albanian Anti-Ottoman revolt (1690)

    It actually seems that Catholic Albanians had to not only pay tax to Ottomans but even to the Orthodox Serbian church . Catholic church was poorer, less priests etc, while the Orthodox church was richer, larger and more privileged which is what led to less conversion among Orthodox compared to...

    Intelligence What characterises people with high IQ's ?

    That's interesting. 135 is very high. I learn things very quickly but some things take some time until they sink. I also got the ''worrier gene'' which is apparently someone https://www.xcode.life/genes-and-personality/comt-gene-influences-worrier-and-warrior-personality/ I think...

    Who were and are the Albanians and their DNA

    You see, even Albanians insult each other from village to village, region to region, town to town. Here they are arguing over who is taller. When I was in Albania I didn't see that many tall people. Sure there are some tall ones depending on where they are from, like outside Elbasan, what's...

    J2b2-L283 (proto-illyrian)

    Of course some J2b2-L283, if it had come from the Steppes, could of also come directly from the Steppes or from Hungary and down to the Balkans. As did possibly some EV-13 and R1b-L23. Some could of course migrated north again. Anything is possible in this one big giant of a cluster ****.

    J2b2-L283 (proto-illyrian)

    Why would J2b2-L283 specifically of come from Albania ? As far as I'm concerned, all the J2b2-L283 we have so far in the Balkans are mostly from the Iron Age/Bronze Age. If anything, if this Y-DNA spread with Indo-European speakers, or was picked up somewhere in Europe, it was in central Europe...
