    Genetic study South Albania Tumulus DNA samples

    We don't have enough Greek samples of the different periods to make any grand pronouncements, do we? Maybe EV13 is the halo of the masses and not the elite. So far we have samples from the elite mainly.

    Genetic study South Albania Tumulus DNA samples

    Riverman, to your knowledge, are the EV13 subclades downstream or the same as Vlach (Aromanian) subclades? There is a theory being floated on this site that the Greek EV13 is totally due to Dacian EV13 whether in the form of Vlach tranhumants or Dacian farmers that were transplanted in Greece...

    Genetic study South Albania Tumulus DNA samples

    Unless Dorian Greeks had a material culture that was identical to the rest of the Greek tribes the so called Dorian Invasion is archaeologically a non-event. As in nothing changed except the dialect. The current thinking is that even the dialects were differentiated once in Greece rather than...

    Genetic study South Albania Tumulus DNA samples

    There is a lot of doubt that the the so called Dorian invasion ever occurred. There is a lack of archaeological evidence of such an invasion, the classical Greek authors notwithstanding. We have to be very careful with things that were written down 600-700 years after they occurred with no...

    Slavic migration in medieval albania(Albania ancestry timeline)

    The Serbians are already admixed between Slavs and local populations. Local populations that are already relatively close to Sicilian East. From when are the Sicilian East samples? If they are modern, Arbereshe people have lived in Sicily so they need to be excluded.

    Holy Crap, Anthrogenica is closing

    Well, we really don't have very good early medieval/medieval sources such as census from the Byzantines. Whereas the Romans and the Ottomans kept very good tax/land records, the Byzantines did not or those tax/land records were lost. There were a lot of population movements in the Byzantine era...

    Economy The USA looks like a developing country in many ways. Here is why.

    As far as Canada is concerned you have to differentiate between provinces since each province has its own healthcare system. Also, are these wait times after you are driving to the hospital by ambulance? Walking ties to the emergency room? Whatever people's complaints are about Canada's system...

    Early contact between late farming and pastoralist societies in southeastern Europe

    That's a lot of coincidence. But you are right in that it is the amateur calculators that give us these great fits and not ancIBD.

    Early contact between late farming and pastoralist societies in southeastern Europe

    Whatever tribe they belonged to, whether they spoke pre-photo-Greek or even just undifferentiated PIE, that is a remarkable closeness for so long ago. Now all we have to do is to trace their path down to the Balkans.

    Early contact between late farming and pastoralist societies in southeastern Europe

    The Kartal samples have extremely good fit to Greeks and Italians. Now we need to find other intermediate sites unless those two peoples came down immediately from Ukraine with no intermediate stops. My other question is what happens to Greeks that supposedly have a slavic component?

    Greece and the Oriental question.

    There has been a back and forth interaction between the Middle East and Iran and even further since times immemorial. Along with trade goods, music was exchanged and acclimated. Don't discount the influence of the Roma people in this endeavor, at least since the medieval times. They were the...
