So there was a west-east cline already in Pre-Slavic Balkans:

Can you please do the same thing for I4331 from the Genomic History of Southeastern Europe as well?

[Gash]

This isn't the J2b2 L283 sample ? Please upload the J2b2 L283. I could do it also myself but how do you do it ?

[mihaitzateo]

Very interesting.
It is known that Celts have been in Balkans, so these tests are rather supporting the idea that Celts came from East Europe and moved towards NW Europe.
In 1500-900 BC the Celts and the Thracians should have been already in Balkans.

All I will say is I feel vindicated.

Maybe an open mind would help some people, before calling others, conspiracy theorists.

But then again... Broken clocks, and twice a day xD

Homer on the other hand is like an atomic clock, right on point.
Virgil too I guess, LUL @Strabo and his Cyclops.

Maybe the Illiad, the Argonautica and the Aeneid deserve some more respect.

I was thinking and it is possible that this sample could belong to an ethnic Celtic, from Balkans.
If more samples with similar clustering are found in different places from Balkans, only then is possible to say that the Thracians from those times were clustering closer to the North Italians and people from Iberia.

[Salento]

Mmmmmmmm.....atooooomic doughnuuuuuutssss

Sound delicious, got to try me one of those!


They do say that many Legends come from seeds of facts.
Who knows.

[mihaitzateo]

Another thing, this person could have been 3/4 Thracian and 1/4 Celtic and this would explain so well the results obtained.
If you do not believe that were Celts in Balkans, they were and this is attested by plenty of archaeological discoveries.
https://balkancelts.wordpress.com/
North Italians are Italo-Gaulish/Italo-Celtic mix, this is alto shown by the fact that the Lombard language is Gallo-Romance.
So, having this person clustering closest to North Italians and Iberians with some Gaulish blood it makes a lot of sense - Thracians were very close to Italic and Iberian people.
Now, Balkan people got Northern Shifted from mixing to the East Germanics, mostly and also, from Slavs.
Seems that the mixing with the Celts was also present but we do not know at what extent.

[Gash]

The sample isn't a Celt because this sample dates back before Celts (Bronze Age) Its just a proto Ilyrian sample or pre historic Balkanite. Celts never reached the Balkans at that time. They came later. And if they did, they would of been like any other Bronze Age or Iron Age invader.

And its basically like a Northern Albanian Gheg but with a extra North West shift.



It can basically be moduled as 79% Balkan + 21% NW European / West European

Balkan in this case being a very vague term.

[mihaitzateo]

The sample is from between 1500 AD to 900 AD, is written in the initial post.
Around 1100 AD the Celtic speakers were already on the current land of Austria, in Hallstatt.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallst...tatt_type_site

It is supposed that in Central Europe, around 1200 BC, the Proto-Celtic language was spoken:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celts

There is no Albanian so Northern shifted and Albanians did mixed somehow with the Goths.
This is attested by today Albanians paternal lines.
So most of today Albanians should more Northern Shifted than the Albanians that were living in Albania around 100 AD.
As a side note, the name Albania comes from Celtic languages, meaning a high land.
Scotland is still called Albannach because is a more elevated land, not lowlands.

Agree on most of your points. According to ancient Greek mythology, Illyrians, Thracians and Celts were related.



Alp - Alb roots might be related. Depending on geographical location the root might stand for white, while in others it means mountains.

In Italian Alba means dusk. The side the Sun Rises.

[Nik]

Perhaps it is best to say the Bronze Age dude was simply an Indo-European and could have lacked the local ancient Balkan admixture which gave birth later to Illyrians and Thracians. No need to speculate on his actual ethnicity.

Great work mate! Much appreciated.

I don't want to waste your time with requests as you've already done a lot, but I keep wondering what would be the score on the Similarity Map if you single out only Gheg Albanian or North Albanian samples as that would leave out the vast majority of Slavic and Vlach admixture.

I wonder if the score instead of 65 would be around 71 since Epirus in Greece is 59, therefore South Albania should be lets say 59-61.

Slavic ancestry is unlikely to be the only thing pulling the Western Balkans away from that sample. There seems to be an additional layer of West Asian ancestry, which makes the Bronze Age Croatian sample look rather 'western' compared to the people who live in the region today.

Croats plot pretty much between BA Croatia and East Slavs. Bulgarian case is, however, more interesting.

Yeah, Thrace should be one of the entry points of metal age West Asian ancestry into mainland Europe. Heavy Slavic input muddies things a bit, so it's difficult to say much more without ancient samples.

I uploaded Bronze Age Bulgarian I2163, whose Y-DNA was R1a (but Indo-Iranian branch Z93, not Slavic):

"Bulgaria_MLBA I2163: Y-hg R1a1a1b2 mt-hg U5a2 1750-1625 calBCE

The most Yamnaya-like of all of the Balkan samples in Mathieson et al. 2017, and, as far as I can see based on his overall genome-wide results, probably indistinguishable from the contemporaneous Srubnaya people of the Pontic-Caspian steppe. He also belongs to Y-haplogroup R1a-Z93, which is a marker typical of Srubnaya and other closely related steppe groups such as Andronovo, Potapovka and Sintashta. So there's very little doubt that he's either a migrant or a recent descendant of migrants to the Balkans from the Pontic-Caspian steppe."
