    Albanians = Illyrian

    There are 2 Geghs actually: 1 in Boattini and 1 in Ferri. And there is one more unspecified Albanian in this cluster in Bosch.

    Albanians = Illyrian

    Autosomal PCA plots don't mean much unless you have a very detailed record of ALL the populations that lived in a region and all around it at different moments in time. This is why authors are so careful to only forward limited claims which the data can support. No one can guarantee, for...

    Albanians = Illyrian

    There are no Tosk Dibra cluster results in the project so far, but there are 2 Tosks from two studies that fall in that cluster. There is ALB371fta from Boattini et al and ht147 from Ferri et al. Maybe they are from the Elbasan-Librazhd, maybe Gramsh area, but still south of Shkumbin, which...

    Population structure in Italy using ancient and modern samples

    Is there a version of the PCA where modern samples are not grouped into regions? Even without the ancient data, it is already interesting to see the various Italian, Greek and Albanian clusters.

    "The Game of Thrones"

    Even with the unbelievably superficial "twists" they have introduced this year, this one seems to absurd for me. If they develop such a scenario, maybe Drogon will fry him but Jon survives since Targaryens seem to be immune to fire in the series. Also, if lore means anything anymore, note that...

    Was I2a-CTS10228 (dinaric) an ancient Slavic king ?

    There is no evidence that I2a-Din (I-CTS10288) was Celtic.

    Albanian Tribe and Clan (Fis) Y-DNA

    That does not mean much. Many R-Z2705 haplotypes are within GD=1-5 and their TMRCA lived around 1500 ybp. GD=5 is not low for this clade.

    Who were and are the Albanians and their DNA

    I am not entirely sure R1a-Z93 is the core element there. It could be, but it is still too early to tell. But it is entirely possible that Thracians included several distinct IE lines, both R1b and R1a. Everyone seems to forget that there are more than around 1000 years between IE migrations and...

    Who were and are the Albanians and their DNA

    Indeed very little is proven. As I said, it is very likely that Thracians had several E-V13 subclades, but calling V13 Thracian is not correct. Some subclades might have had a Thracian origin, yes, not all of them. The V13 mutation certainly did not occur among the Thracians, and the E-V13 TMRCA...

    Who were and are the Albanians and their DNA

    That is not proven. No Thracian E-V13 has been found until now, only one E-Z1919. We don't know if it was E-V13+ or not. On the other hand, E-L618, which is even closer to E-V13, has been found in Croatia. The earliest E-V13 found so far is an autosomally Balkan IA Scythian. Later E-V13s were...

    Who were and are the Albanians and their DNA

    No, it is actually a new test from Skrapar and the haplotype is quite different. The TMRCA with the Montenegrins should be well above 2000 ybp. I agree on the arrival time, but for such an old clade it is also possible that they spoke some kind language that we don't know today, or a language...

    Who were and are the Albanians and their DNA

    YF63299 should split E-Y133830. There is also a new Bulgarian R-Y18959, the first on YFull, although in relation to the Albanians downstream, it is still 4800 years apart. It is pretty interesting that so many subclades shared by both Albanians and Bulgarians come from either Tarnovo and the...

    Who were and are the Albanians and their DNA

    The owner of this site spends his entire life posting different versions of this article around the internet. I can find at least 3-4 more versions of it in different sites. He is dishonest and he misquotes the authors he mentions, completely making up what he claims to be their words. You might...

    With what ancient ethnicity do you most identify, and what has DNA told you ?

    That is not Y-DNA. If you have tested your paternal line show us your STRs or at least the subclade.

    With what ancient ethnicity do you most identify, and what has DNA told you ?

    I said your Y-DNA is relevant, but it seems you have not tested it. If you have, tell us your result if you want feedback. Everything else you said is irrelevant.

    With what ancient ethnicity do you most identify, and what has DNA told you ?

    None of this is relevant to your ancient ancestry. If you want to learn about that, test your Y-DNA until subclade determination. An autosomal test could be a little helpful too. Y-haplogroups do not determine hair color.

    Who were and are the Albanians and their DNA

    Seveal Albanian migrations to Greece took place in the XI-XV centuries. A nice way to start learning about them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsbOixdeUbs.

    Genetic Origins of Minoans and Mycenaeans

    He has mentioned this many times and always failed to show any evidence. He just doesn't know what he is talking about.

    Any DNA studies on the Greko and Griko of Calabria and Puglia respectively?

    Angela, I stated what seems to be an academic consensus, and I honestly thought most people here accept. I brought two initial sources. I quoted the part of the source you mentioned (and possibly misquoted) that referred to what we were discussing. Now you refuse to provide any explanations for...
