I doubt it simply because I2-din is almost non-existent in western Europe. Unless the entire population got up and moved (doubt it).

Russian...?

rofl oh the irony

Wolves were as relevant to Slavs as to Dacians or anyone that had to deal with them. Surnames are irrelevant (mostly). I'm a history buff and this is the first time I've heard of Dacians being "wolf people". Tribal people all feared wolves because they depended on live stock. Some groups had...

Well the slaves were torn apart from their families and sold all across the Empire. I2 exists in small minority groups in almost every European country. We also don't know the populations of these tribes. If I recall correctly, many were sent to Dacia, which has a large spike of I2. Not saying...

Slovenia has a mountain called Triglav, similar to the Slavic pagan gods worshipped in Poland. Croatia has a memorial plaque of Perun that was carved in the dark ages. And like Wonomyro said, language isn't nothing it's huge. I can understand maybe 1/5th of what my Russian friends are saying, to...

Cultures change over time. Whatever part of the mixed Slavs is from another. As we said, South Slavs are Slavs that mixed with balkanic folk. We arent Puerto Rican

Well then I guess its up to heritage and what is passed down your family. You'll know your Slavic or not. Or by what your saying I guess im African or Japanese whenever I feel like it

If one of your parents/grandparents were a Slav, then you're partially Slav. How much genetic heritage? Don't know, but the more genetic Slav you are, the closer you'll be to that heritage. If you're 1/1000th Slav you probably wouldn't even know it. Those seem to be the dominant haplogroups...

I disagree with the end statement. Its not a religion but an ethnic group. You dont get to decide what ethnicity you are, its your heritage, family, ancestors, closest relatives. I'm just curious why South Slavs are so dominantly part of haplogroup I2. I'm sure we were a major component of the...

........................what am I even reading

Well I didnt mean they necessarily went extinct, just became a minority in their former homelands. How are Bosnian Croats 50% native? We're generally purest with haplogroup i2 and very few of us have haplogroups E or J

So the idea I'm forming of the South Slav ethno-genesis is something like as follows: Area was dominated by Illyrian tribes who were most likely not closely related to most of modern day South Slavs. After thousands of years of war with Romans, Celts, Greeks, Goths, Vandals, Huns, Mongols...

According to what Dibran said it seems fairlt reasonable. Or is he simply wrong?

I was wondering, is there a possible connection to Germanic tribes? Ostogoths, Vandals, etc, all passed through the region. Ostogoths even established a kingdom around x yugo territory for a couple of hundred years. Is such a heritage too far fetched? Also, while reading across this forum I...

They were soft

well according to Dibran; "There already is evidence in what Illyrians carried and it wasn’t I2a-Din. However many South Slavs seem to have an issue with this reality(not saying you)*. The affinity Albanians share with Greeks is mostly autosomal paleobalkan ancestry. J2b-L283, the parent clade...

The way you're all making it sound is just that we're purely mixed between Slavs and Natives. Don't understand some of the terminology because I'm a true layman, but thats how ive come to understand all the posts so far.

I'm genuinely curious if this has been "decided" anywhere by credible researchers. South Slavs have a different stock of haplogroups than Northern Slavs, and cluster together rather than with other European groups. Clearly we're our own family-branch. Coincidentally the people with the highest...

I'm guessing we're a fairly pure Slavic tribe (Croats) because I2 seems to be more common in northern Slavs than people assume, not to mention the mentions of White Croats as part of the Antes confederation, as well as numerous other sources. I believe the way it is written on this sites...
