First of all, your info is wrong. I don't understand: you have been here for about a year and you still throw made up statements about statistics. All you need is Google and 3-4 clicks to get this. According to Eupedia: Croatia has 37% I2a1 and 24% R1a. The ratio is 37/24=1.54 Bosnia &...

It still a bit early to draw conclusions on this, but, so far, Y-DNA results actually indicate that the Slavic portion if ancestry in Tosks arrived mainly from Bulgaria and Macedonia, not Yugoslavia. Historical data is in agreement with this.

A sample from 11-12th cent. Puglia, Italy, is autosomally ~90% southern European and belongs to Y-haplogroup R1b-Z2103>Z2108/Z2109.

The E-V13 one has non-scandinavian autosomal results. It is very likely from further south.

Yes, but without a full autosomal record of all the populations that have existed in the surrounding region from the time in question until today, it is impossible to confidently determine which populations contributed and when. The data is still thin and there are several competing theories...

All I said is PCA proximity cannot necessarily shared ancestry, which is true. I did not oppose or back any views on the relationship between Ashkenazi Jews and South Europeans. However, making historical inferences from autosomal similarity is also very problematic and the authors actually...

I was responding to Joker's remark on the "Greek-like cline", the only PCA reference in the last comments.

Being on the same spot in PCA doesn't mean shared ancestry. One can be half-French and half-Iranian and be close to Greeks on PCA, which does not mean Greek ancestry.

Don't take this study too seriously. There are no new samples and most populations it deals with are only represented by unjustified proxies (for example, they use modern Croatians to represent Medieval Slavs). Most importantly, their only method of comparison is PCA, which is very unreliable...

That is hilarious. Even with so much free information online proving the opposite, there are still people trying to spread such lies.

You only have one Y-haplogroup. What is your paternal haplogroup on 23andme?

The Neanderthal & Denisovan samples we have are still very few. It is possible that they have only captured a fraction of genomic diveristy within and between these species.

While we are waiting on some new data, here are the PCAs from the paper that compared Griko speakers from Puglia and Sicily with Italians, Albanians and Greeks of different regions. Btw, the continental Greek samples from that leaked image which was posted in another thread might actually come...

Thank you for clarifying. That much has been clear for a while too.

What is being turned on it's head in this case?

So far, he isn’t.

Nothing unexpected from a comparison that leaves out all the rest of the Balkans. Of course Greeks are similar to Sicilians on a European level. In any case, we should wait for the Italy paper since they seem to have all the answers, if the leaks are true.

There are three samples being widely used already. One is all from Thessaloniki, the other from Crete and there is a third sample which is from a data bank and cannot be traced to any particular region afaik, so it could be from different regions. Now, if see the PCA below, you will notice that...

Yes, that was me. They were not SNP-confirmed as R-L1029 though, so it is just a possibility for now.

You mean the Lazaridis paper here: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature23310? Where does it say that? Can you provide a quote that can be found on the paper?
