Angela, you have to understand that he has an agenda. That agenda is to trash anything that connects Ancient Greek population with Modern Greek ones. It's Fallmeyer all over again. It's the intra Balkan squabble over and over again.
Why is that when someone who is from a Balkan ethnic background which I already understand isn't very preferable on this forum, gives his view about something, in this case the Peloponnesian paper which was quoted, that failed to estimate how much "Slavic" modern Greeks are, it's all of a sudden an agenda?
Or that much of the pre-Slavic ancestry of the Greeks might be of Thracian, Illyrian origin or other Balkan people?
All I see is a dictatorship-style of some users here who tend to stifle any different view of their own.
Otherwise, prove me wrong and answer to my questions and contribute something useful here apart of commenting about agendas and bias!
How would you estimate that much of your own genetic legacy is from the Mycenaeans who gave you the language you speak today and not a mish mash of anything and everything which actually was the case during the Roman Empire of the East, which more often then not was resettling people and tribes of any kind into it's territory?
And you know very well that the Roman Empire(read Byzantine) was a multi-ethnic Empire primarily based on the Christianity!
Also, when compering ancient Balkan samples, they were all very similar!
But let's see a different view now, modern Greek's y-dna as per Eupedia:
All Greeks (1038 samples)
I : 15.1
R1a : 12.0
R1b : 16.9
E1b : 21.0
G2 : 6.3
J2 : 20.1
J1 : 4.3
LT : 3.2
*: 1.1
All I see here is such a colorfulness and excuses like "genetic drifts" won't do the job here because there is a big variety of subclades among the Greeks., nor excuses like founder effects!
For example, among the Kosovars there is a predominance of E-V13, however, we already know that is founder effect because of low variety within their E-V13!
None of the other haplogroups was found until now in the Mycenaeans nor in the ancient Greek from the colony of Emporion!
All of them were J2a but one G2 Mycenaean or Minoan, I don't remember correctly!
