There were waves of HGs that were historically replaced by other HG groups over time most of which have no genetic relevance to modern Euros. Modern Euros have minimal HG admixture compared to later migrations.
I recently read about an autochtonous tribe called the Caucones (Caucasus connection) from Anatolia who migrated to Greece during the Chalcolithic or possibly very early Bronze Age and wondered if they may have contributed to the CHG in Myceneans and/or pre Mycenean tribes in the Peloponnese...
Probably like modern day Balkanites (who knows) but seriously doubt they were blond/blue eyed. My thing is why the fixation with IndoEuros? What if they never arrived from the steppe and Europe was made up of Anatolian Farmers with slight WHG admixture would things have been radically different...
Realize those Helladic samples had higher Steppe particularly the ones from Northeast Greece where there was close proximity to Balkan Bronze age populations. I actually plot really close to one of the Logkas samples (55-33 EEF/IE minor CHG) as would most modern mainlanders (for different...
Looks like my subclade G2a2a (PF3237)) has been found in Barcin and Bellbeaker culture and I get really high ENF autosomal results (like 60% vs. 32% IE).

The Aegean Islands (no known ancestry) and Balkans kind of negate each other.
I’ve managed to trace my G line back to 16th c. All indications they moved South in Greece from the NW (Epirus) much earlier as sheepherders living in remote mountainous regions. I’m mildly convinced that remnants of G in the Balkans could be Neolithic survivors.
Angela I've always been a fan of Eupedia way before I even knew about AG. I've learned a great deal on this site from folks like yourself, Jovialis, LeBrok, etc. Don't think for a moment that I'm in the AG camp (I'd often go back and forth between sites without posting) just because I mentioned...
He's half Maniot Greek and half German don't pick up on any Davidski sentiments what leads you to that conclusion? He's always trying to pull ancient Greeks East.
There's a really good poster on Anthrogenica (Moriopoulos) that's from my hometown. He's really tuned in. I think he's super authentic without a superfluous agenda.
