Kukes 3/26=11.5% Elbasan's Gramsh district: 1/10=10% Elbasan's Librazhd district 1/25=4% Tirana district= 3/60=5% Berat district=2/35=5.7% Kruje district= 1/16=6.6% Bulqize district=1/60=1.6% Devol district=1/8=12.5% My guess is that all districts close to the border with FYROM have similar...

E-m123 is at rate of 10% in Kukes district 7-8% in the Elbasan district 4-5% in the Tirana district 6% in Berat region and 2 to 3% in 2-3 more districts on the border with FYROM. If it is native to the region, and we have no reason to believe eitherwise taking in mind it has high presence in all...

I don't know if the region is indeed 100% Catholic,, but irrespective their oral traditions testify that they arrive in the region in the 18th century. In general almost none gheg tribe is mentioned in any historical record before the 15th century. Maybe a couple near the northern borders get...

Here is a more detailed map about the regional rates of PH1751 in North Albania, based on the data from rrenjet.com. I think it's clear where PH1751 came from, and it seems to validate my long standing claim about the medieval homeland of Ghegs. Take a note how tiny is the amount of PH1751 in...

Ghegs spilling over from some remote mountain region somewhere in the border area between Montenegro-Albania-Kosovo seems correct based on this map i ve made using the data from rrenjet.com Note that the Coastal Northern Albania seems to have also low Ph1751 rates. My guess they built up as you...

In Labs PH1751 is 2 to 3%. J2b may be 9%, but most of it's non ph1751. There much evidence from other haplogroups that a small Gheg population settled in the area. There are many young clades of Northern Albanian populations typical haplogroups. Once you control for all the population migrations...

True there should be a breakdown by ethnicity for more clarity. Some N could have come from other sources too. Some via the Mongols. If we believe the legends hundreds of thousands of Crimean resettled in Anatolia at a time that its population was few millions. Similar event occurred little...

If it came from the Balkans in the last 3 000 years, i can see few possibilities: 1)the Cimmerian Invasion 2)Via Galatians 3)Greecoroman settlement and gradual drifting 4)The Slavic resettlement from Greece to Asia Minor during the Byzantine era 5)Janissary or Slave soldier corps stationed on...

In Light of the Evidence from the Rrenet.com i have to recant or at least greatly minimize the statement above concerning the Labs. Labs seem to be mainly of Local ancestry with a small, between 5 and 10%, northern admixture and possibly also substantial Vlach settlement in the region. Not that...

Jewish diversity of J-L70 is to be expected. Modern Jews Literally came from all over the Middle east and Europe.Jews from Ethiopia, Jews from Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Kurdistan, Caucasus, Egyptian, Tunisian, Algerian, Spain, Italy, Greece(ancient Jewish communities) etc etc. There isn't a place...

Yes i ve noticed the Samples appearing in mass on Y-full. But if that's the Totality of the N lineages they have, then it is still very small % compared to the total and in line with previous studies. Around 20/800, 2-3%. In fact it's less than what the previous studies gave.

You trust the Y-full dating method too much. First of all give many times ranges 1000 years apart. Secondly it never got proven to be correct. Thirdly is not based on hard science, like carbon dating can be said is.

Thanks! Very appreciated. As for E-m123 in the Balkans. My Bet is that its presence in Thrace is old,and probably similarly old is its spread through out Balkans. An alternative explanation could be that it spread in the late antiquities and early medieval times with the (bulgarian) Slavs after...

I dont know what's creepy or psychopathic about discussing genetics attempting to explain the Data and always providing sufficient evidence to back up the claims, or the very least that the Questions that are raised are valid and not unfounded. Understandably one might be a little sensitive when...

Very interesting.Someone should place the toponyms on a map. Of course a surname alluding to a region isnt anywhere near being conclusive evidence, but they can draw a general picture of their origins. A future genetic study should have in mind those early settlements too, to be separately...

Italians dont have higher E-m123 though than the ares around North Albania, which if we believe the Slavicist narrative they are mainly Slavic in origins.So if it's 3% now in FYROM, it should have been 9% or more originally in the native population with whom the incoming Slavs mixed with. One...

The movement of populations concurred with the collapse of Giorgos Kastriotis State, the Kastrioti-Ottoman war, and the Venetian Ottoman war. All of them occurred in North Albania. Plus the Earliest settlement of Arbereshe were done by Kastriotis troops as a Reward for the Services he provided...

But they dont go in line. Based on different studies and the Albanian Y-dan projects, you got: Arberehse came from North Albania, but they speak Tosk, and they have R1b-L23/L51 but no R1b-L23/Z2705 and Very little (unclassified) j2b, which would mean little J2b-ph1751 ( if any at all)...

Why would Arbereshe have high level of Slavic DNa (allegedly) when there is little Slavic(allegedly) DNA in North Albania and Kosovo today? As for E-M123, Italy hasn't greater presence of E-m123 than the Balkans, so how would mixing with the locals elevate their levels? There is an Arch of...
