Can one ignore posts from certain users? Enlighten me on how to enable this.

Contact Maciamo with sources for these references and he will update the average. This is how I've done it for Romania.

I can see the following scenarios that could explain this difference. Obviously ancient DNA will elucidate these mysteries with time. Either there were less natives on the Northern side of West Balkans or they were more Central European shifted. However, given the yDNA distribution in Slovenia...

To be fair I'm not quite familiar with most of Muntenia, but on a map it just looks flat. I know that it's supposed to be mountainous around Sinaia, but that seems like a small portion of the total land. When I visit Bucharest from Iasi, I usually go straight down through Vaslui, Barlad...

They didn't. https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1TYJrkLXUap0Ip-8EIeTH-uzN4V8&ll=43.35697442893692%2C27.23581197103931&z=8 The Early Neolithic settlement of Dzhulyunitsa-Smardesh is located in north central Bulgaria,near the slanting northern slopes of the Pre-Balkan, where it is...

Most land is flat.

We have a Thracian reference, Balkans Iron Age I5769 from Dzyulyunitsa in Northeastern Bulgaria. Considering that Dacians lived on both shores of the Danube and then retreated into the mountains, it is safe to assume that they are really similar autosomally. Who is Balkans I5769 closest to...

lol, genetics disagrees, despite your personal wish

I answered OP's question a while ago, but the shitstorm is still going strong. This thread has derailed. Here you go: https://www.eupedia.com/forum/threads/37329-Are-South-Slavs-more-Balkan-Native-than-Slavic/page10?p=559156&viewfull=1#post559156

According to my Global 25 calculator, Balkans K4, it's something like this: Population Thracian + Greek Slavic Greek 92% 6% Albanian 87% 13% Bulgarian 70% 30% Macedonian 65% 35% Romanian 65% 35% Serbian 60% 40% Montenegrin 60% 40% Moldovan 50% 50% Bosnian 45% 55% Croatian...

Try "Bloodlands" by Timothy Snyder for answers. I won't spoil.

I can theorise that in the Balkans, due to the romanticism of the fights against the Ottomans and being self-perceived as protectorates of Christendom, the national identity is strongly intertwined with religion (which isn't really spiritual in this part Europe, but rather exists only on paper...

The proto-Slavic domain was not on the steppes, but around Kiev. That's a minimum of 1000km Northeast of the Getae. Getae are supposed to have been a mix of steppe Scythian-like Indo-European elites and local farmers. Kind of like Dacians and Thracians too, but they weren't as organised...

I'll just mention that unless you are any different from me, you've all had female ancestors too. So, miss me with that beard theory :laughing:

More interesting to me is to understand how the transition from the BA to the IA and beyond happened. Specifically, how did the population in Poland go from around 25-30% Iran_Neolithic/CHG-minority admixture during the Corded Ware period to around 3% nowadays?

They were a fusion of Gáva-Holigrady, Basarabi and Babadag cultures. On a meta level they were related to Getae, Odrysians and other Thracian confederations. Getae, who lived in the extra-Carpathic space, had closer ties to the Greek world via the Odrysians. Dacians, who dwelled mostly in the...

Not at all. I recommend this book to you. It's a good entry point to archaeology and old cultures from the territory of Romania and neighbouring countries. It has over 100 pages covering from Mesolithic to the Medieval period. It should prep you for debate...

5 of those Scythians look more like Southeastern European than broadly Eastern European. So, they were likely already settled.

How ironic is it that this "tradition" was carried to the New World. Now expect a handful of Space Mexicans to wipe out a good part of Aliens in the future.

Thought I'd crosspost this here https://www.eupedia.com/forum/threads/36527-MyHeritage-DNA-Balkans-category-refers-to-the-dinaric-epirotic-race/page5?p=555200&viewfull=1#post555200
