Ivan Mestrovic is the famous Croatian sculptor whose art is still displayed in some prominent locations in America, Croatia, and Serbia. His talent maybe related to his DNA. What do we know, if anything, about his autosomal or Y-DNA? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Me%C5%A1trovi%C4%87

I was talking about Tesla Society so here is the link http://www.teslasociety.com/ivan.htm You should all know Mestrovic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Me%C5%A1trovi%C4%87

According to Tesla Society in New York, Nikola Tesla and Ivan Mestrovic became friends in 1924. Ivan Mestrovic is the great Croatian sculptor who contributed so much outstanding art to America, Croatia, and Serbia. I like his sculptures in United Nations (NY) and Chicago. Mestrovic's enormous...

Maybe it is my fault due to the Magellan comment. I read somewhere that he is likely from the island of Hvar. Is there anything more to be said about Tesla haplogroup, for now?

I would not call any members talk lunatic because this all conversation could be called that. The discussion started about Tesla haplogroup and quickly changed to ethnicity. How is being Serb or Croat tied to some 4000-year-old DNA haplogroup in addition to what I already stated about your two...

What ethnicity was Nikola Tesla? This is the real debate here, primarily between Croatians and Serbians. What is the definition of being Croatian or Serbian today? Balkan nation borders moved so much. Your people moved so much. Just look all these maps. As I understand it, Adriatic islands...

Hi I1a3 Young, nice maps. How do you establish branch location if there several kit #s in different geographic locations? Maybe I am not interpreting main branch line correctly. For example, what is the location you consider for ZS1823 and S2097 on Z63+?

IronSide, your theory is very logical and likely the case of the I1 story. Very nice initial question by I1a3 Young. As for Iberians, taming horses may have helped them, but sadly, it was not enough for American (North and South) Indians.

Sorry Bachus, I was making changes as you were responding. I was editing as I realized some questions were already answered. Since P109 is common in Rusia, Poland, and Sweden, assuming from the same P109 Viking source, isn't it more logical it arrived in Balkans from the North-East...

Are there any Y-DNA origins established for pockets of I1-M227 among Serbian population tested? Tha Macura map seams to establish the pocket concentrations for I1. I see in some forums talk about Saxon Miners in the area of Kopaonik, Bor and the mountains of West Bulgaria, but that is not...

Hi Bachus, could that be due to the higher testing/activity by Macura and Drobnjak family groups?

Nobody will think more highly of Croatia or Serbia if you somehow win the pointless Tesla nationality/Y-DNA debate. Most of the world does not care. As someone already commented, Tesla is more of an American creation. Forget about winning the pitiful national credit for Nikola! If Croatia and...

Tesla himself put an end to the debate in 1936, when he sent a telegram to Croatian politician Vlatko Macek, that read: "Thank you very much for your much-appreciated greetings and honors, I am equally proud of my Serb origin and my Croat homeland. Long live all Yugoslavs."
