    Italian surnames inherited from ancient Romans

    Interesting research, keep it up. But keep in mind that during the 15-1600 it was fashionable to take the surname of past heroes and then tell people you belong to that line, even when it was not true. For example during the 1700's there were several families who had changed their name to...

    Hittite, Luwic and Palaic people. What was their Y-dna?

    There is no "proving" when it comes to past events. There are just theories, and lots of them. The one theory that has gained most favor both nationally and internationally regarding the origin of albanians, is that they descend largely from some of the ancient western balkan tribes dubbed the...

    Hittite, Luwic and Palaic people. What was their Y-dna?

    If he did relate this haplogroup to albanians it would not be wrong of him. Albanians have one of the highest, if not the highest, percentages of this specific haplogroup, just in the same way as many other ethnicities have haplogroups that are more common in their group than in other groups...

    Society New map of average male body height in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa

    It was a mistake. It was corrected. Northern alb and kosova were the same color as southern albania. It was only corrected after i pointed towards a study with more individuals which showed an average height of 179cm in the north.

    4th Century BC Privileged Social Class Roman Skeletons to undergo DNA Testing

    Agree. And one should also take note that the etruscans expanded far southwards before Rome even had started to expand. They actually expanded further south than Rome is located. So by the time Rome started its expansion, it was inevitable not to assimilate some etruscans into the latin speaking...

    4,000 yo chariots found in northern India

    Probably so the man could take his horses with him to the afterlife. Or for transportation to the afterlife. The heroon shaft graves from lefkandi euboea (ca. 1000 bc) also had horses buried there alongside people

    Bronze Age Epirus

    yetos, you are right about macedonian having affinity with NW dialects, but there were also other influences: "Our sources only rarely mention makedonizein, to speak Macedonian, or the fact that someone speaks makedonisti, that is in Macedonian. This language surely shared a substantial part of...

    Bronze Age Epirus

    Just because i commented in a thread where they posted, doesnt mean that i am here for the same reasons. The most important reason why i am here(and on other forums) is to get access to discussions and new perspectives about genetics. That is mainly because there are not really other places to...

    Bronze Age Epirus

    And sometimes i don't know if you ask these questions because you are genuinely interested, or if you are trying to trap me with questions that you think i can't answer? Which one is it? Because i can always sense some hostile undertones in your posts towards me. And if you are only doing this...

    Bronze Age Epirus

    No. All of those dots can't really be mycenean human remains as you suggest. As there are not enough tholoi up there. Of course they could be, but how will you prove it without any of the right graves being in the area? And btw, arhcaeological remains is a broad word which we use for talking...

    Bronze Age Epirus

    Its not that i "believe" cultures are constructed, i KNOW cultures are constructed. Because we know the names of the specific archaeologists who constructed the name 'Mycenean' and 'Minoan' for example. But it is easier for me to address people here by mentioning which material cultures i am...

    Bronze Age Epirus

    In my post i specifically wrote that there is a chance that he wrote those remains were in those places: So i have never claimed the map is incorrect. Although i did claim, and still claim, that the presence of some mycenean material doesnt mean that the myceneans lived there. There are many...

    Society New map of average male body height in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa

    My number comes from a 2017 national survey in Kosova with 830 men. This is the name of the survey: "Stature and its Estimation Utilizing Arm SpanMeasurements in Kosovan Adults: National Survey" SUMMARY: The purpose of this research is to examine stature in both Kosovan sexes as well as its...

    Society New map of average male body height in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa

    Numbers for northern albanians are not right. Average height for Prishtina(northern albanians) is 179.52 cm. And that is the number for urban populations. If you start measuring the mountaineers you will get an even higher number some places. So for better accuracy i would suggest that you...

    I think most declare themselves as having Italian heritage.. But there are also a lot of peolple who don't know that they have it. Say, if their heritage has been mostly german or irish on the paternal side, but with some of them marrying Italian descent women in america. With time such...
