In another chapter the same duke Porga is called Porin. The name is related to Slavic diety Perun (Thor): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perun https://www.britannica.com/topic/Perun These are the legendary characters, probably not the real people. Just like Like Čeh, Lech and Rus from the...

But what quality of evidence do we have on the other side?

Science is not based on anecdotes. There is a nice study on Croatian medieval skulls (M. Šlaus) that found the close relation with Poland. The same study found Iranic skulls very distant. Medieval Croats were Slavs as much as medieval Poles were. Yeah. In absence of early Serbian findings...

Trubachyov is probaly right about the ethimology. Two very important Slavic words related to power - bog (God) and župan - are of Iranic origin. Why not ethnonym? All three word probably originate from the period of Sarmatian rule over proto-Slavs. Some Slavs identified themselves with the...

Are you trying to conclude something about the origin of the whole nation based on coulple of exotic samples found in the present day population? Your methodology does not seem to be very convincing... Really? You find ONE Avar in Zagreb?!!! Great!!! Who can ever doubt that Croats are of Avar...

I realy don't get what you want to say with this bunch of Croatian regional samples. However I must react to nonsense about Croatian dialects. Do you know that, nearly at the time when Croats arrived to Dalmatia (and Panonia and Illyricum), all Slavs still spoke one language? Languages and...

It was not neccessarilly a state but a region populated by (White) Croats. Neither It was mythical because it was mentioned in more then one historical source.

We are dealing with the I2a-Din haplogroup and its migration paths. Now we see another evidence that supports its origin from, or nearby, the territory of the early medieval White Croatia.

Wikipedia on Chodove: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chodove If the above information was correct then Chodové arrved from the area that was in historical sources known as White Croatia, only after the hypothetical outmigration of Serbs might have occurred. That makes sense as White Croatia...

Ok, but there are no I2a samples documented for Avars and Huns.

About I2a: not Huns nor Avars but Hungarians mixed with Slavs.

That is possible, however it seems that 30% of Chernyakhiv in Lithuanians would be too much. It is more likely that 30% of "Balkan like" ancestry in Lithuanians and >50% in Belarussians are actually the Slavic ancestries currently present in South Slavs especially in Croats and Slovenians...

I am afraid that they defined "Balkan ancestry" as the sum of all present day samples from the region they believe is called "Balkan". That includes Slovenians and Croats which are genetically closer to other Slavs than to e. g. Greeks and Albanians. We should not take their terminology for...

According to their web site Lithuania is 30% "balkanic". Does it makes any sense? Something is obviously wrong with their definition of the "Balkan" component.

People from that company do not understand what the term "ethnicity" means. This is the text in Croatian from their page: Translated: :useless:

The amount of the "Balkan ancestry" in populations depends on how one defines "Balkan ancestry".

It is very likely that the Bronze-age Thracian samples used in this study are not good representatives of the paleobalkan population of Bulgaria before the great migrations. Something is missing here. The steppe component that made Bulgarians distinct is probably not from Bulgars but from some...

That's what we all believed, I think.

This sentence: Is it possible that contemporary Bulgarians owe their Thracian component to medieval "Slavs and Croats". Slavs arrived at about the same time as Bulgarians. (Btw. Croats ARE Slavs but ok).

The conclusions are very strange.
