I cannot read your mind to know what you mean, but when ancient authors describe Illyrians they usually mention height, which Wilkes estimates at 165 cm. What other enduring physical characteristic are you speaking of anyway? Appearances and perceptions change. And even if two peoples did look...

Nice find Vlad. I've been interested in the distribution frequency and diversity of Slavic subclades for a while, but didn't think to search for non-English sources. Do you have anything similar for the Slavic subclades of R1a? I'm especially interested to know if there are any subclades that...

The physical description doesn't mean much. All populations change in height in different periods. Plus, average Illyrian height is estimated to have been around 165cm.

Hi Steve, do you have your STR results? If you show me your marker values (if you tested with YSEQ you probably have them) I might be able to tell you your deeper subclade and maybe give you some more info on its origins.

It is accurate to say that the people and communities that participated in the study originated South of the Danube though. And there 5 unrelated Vlach communities there.

Idk if you have read this paper, but if not give it a try, it's worth it: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/5568052_Alu_insertion_polymorphism_in_the_Balkans_and_the_origins_of_the_Aromuns. The conclusion is that Vlachs originated south of the Danube, but not from the same place. They...

It is possible to know. Both Sviatoslav and Vsevolod has multiple sons. If men from at least two lines descending from each one of them were tested to determine the haplogroup of the Princes, there are only two possible explanations for why their descendants today have different haplogroups: 1-...

She said "E" not "E-V13". E-V13 didn't happen until 5700 BC and its TMRCA is at 2800 BC, so it's unlikely anyone will find remains of E-V13 from before that date, anywhere. E1b, on the other hand, was found in Croatia in remains dated around 5400 BC (Methieson et al 2017).

Awesome news! Even a full skeleton would have started a decades-long, unsolvable theoretical debate if it had been discovered just 15-20 years ago. That said, I'm kind of surprised we haven't learned even more about Denisovans by now.

If you throw water in the middle of a crossroad soon its gonna cover all the streets meeting there, as each passing car picks up and moves some drops along its way. So I think its likely that it spread many times over and over, with each passing migration, not necessarily only in the Bronze Age...

There are other alternatives: paleo-Balkan haplogroup, Ancient Greek haplogroup, etc, but first let's examine your own thought. What makes you think that is the most likely scenario?

There's many non-modal values there. Can I know which study found it, or which are of Croatia it is from? I haven't seen it before. It would be great to try a couple of SNP tests for this person. DYS393=12 is probably a sign of Y32147- and BY38894-. I'm waiting to see some DYS393=12 to be...

Do you think he was E, J or G just because of his birthplace? I'd be very interested to learn his haplogroup. Are you planning to test your relatives?

I just found one more DYS292=12 and DYS390=23 haplotype (here: https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25457630). This one is from Sicily, more precisely a village called Santa Ninfa, and it has 23 markers. So there are now three people with this haplotype: one from Belgrade, one from Tuzla, and now...

That link didn't even work for me. Anyway, I think he was just saying that he knew about that study of the Tuzla region and found no BY611. So here is the one haplotype I was talking about, in comparison to the ser-7, which was already known. As you can see, it is identical to him in those few...

Thank you! You definitely helped a lot too. The Tuzla sample is from here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16182974. It is haplotype 13 there. Btw, do you mind showing me this other Tuzla study? The one I mentioned has n=181, maybe they are two different ones. I agree that the Bulgarians...

Misplaced again sorry. Check lower for my reply.

I can't say I've studied your line too much but Albanian samples are all concentrated into BY611, at least until now. The only one you might be connected to is the CTS9219 that I mentioned. Your line is more concentrated in central and Eastern Europe. Overall I would say this is an indoeuropean...

So I have been doing a lot of research these days and I found some interesting haplotypes, all of them belonging to Z2705 as far as I can tell. I think there is at least one more branch, maybe two, parallel to the 2705* that there is now. I will list them here and set some expectations: 1)...

It's possible, but that sample hasn't been proven positive for any of the SNP-s downstream Z2103 (he had no calls due to the quality of the sample). In addition, it's from so long ago that the mutation for BY611 hadn't occurred yet. Maybe the Albanian Bloodlines Project member who is CTS9219+...
