If u remove the Slavic admixture Albanians received during Middle Age then they would have been identical to the Bronze Age Dalmatian (he even carried a Y-DNA common only among modern Northern Albanians), the Iron Age Dalmatian looks like he mixed with Latins of some sort. He got extra WHG admixture something which the Bronze Age sample lacked.

I think, even Illyrians from Albania and inland will be no different from the Dalmatians, maybe slightly more West_Asian and less WHG than that Iron Age sample.

You may already have done this, but in case you haven't.

You have no idea how wrong you are. Firstly Iron Age Illyrian is more Northern shifted because she is Iapodian (I believe even by archaeological location), nothing to do with "Latins", who barely existed at the time and were not migrating to Illyrian areas. Iapodes have received additional Urnfield admixture in LBA/EIA. These Urnfield people would have been Bell-Beaker-like.

I actually think some linguistic evidence might point to Illyrian connection, but here's something about autosomal DNA.

The reason modern Spaniards cluster with Illyrians is that Illyrians were a mixture of Bell Beaker and Neolithic (Dalmatian MBA were 60 % Central Euro Bell Beaker + 40 Dalmatian Cardial EEF) elements whereas Thracians and Greeks were Yamnaya + Neolithics (in various proportions, with Getae having the most, Myceneans least of Yamnaya). And BB and Yamnaya were not quite alike. Also some differences in Neolithic elements, but the main difference was along the BB-Yamnaya cline.

Scy192 from Moldova from 300 BC is also way closer to a proto-Albanian candidate than Illyrians:

These "Scythians" are surely 100 % Getae, look at their distance to Early IA Thraco-Cimmerian from the similar area. Superficial partial similarity to proto-Illyrians is due to more Steppe admixture, but in their case it is not Bell Beaker derived like in Illyrians, rather Yamnaya.

So having N.Albanians without the 25 % of Slavic autosomal makes them Thracians. And Albanians (this sample for sure) cannot be modelled as Illyrian + little Slavic because the distances are too great.

You see these combinations with Illyrians don't work with only 12-14 % of Slavic admixture!!

ofc Albanians have some Slavic autosomal influence, they have more Baltic in K13 than any Paleo-Balkan population. And way more than Illyrians.

Well we see there were a bunch of romanized Thracians among the Szolad samples, likely heavy with E-V13. So looking at these results it seems some of these V13's positioned in Illyrian areas today might actually be Romans of Thracian origins. I think it is quite possible even that Illyrians had no more than 5-10 % of V13, and were like 50 % J-L283 and completely opposite with the Thracians (including Northern Thracians/Dacians/Getae). Albanians do have significant Y-DNA Illyrian ancestry but it looks like they have heavy Thracian autosomal admixture.

SZ1 quoted by Angela (And BA date should be a mistake) has some Germanic admixture in the study. And indeed

SZ12 is a Germanic proper sample.
 
Btw. here's something that works for North Albanian samples (assuming 25 % of Slavic), with Illyrians being a factor. Getae_Thracian is a 50-50 mix of I5769 Thracian and MJ12 Thraco-Cimmerian. Mycenaeans must be introduced for this model. Getae is 1/3 MJ12, Scy197 and Scy192

There are some other Albanian samples, one might try reducing Slavic, and adding some Germanic.

lol, no one will read your shitty long posts. You have no idea about the calculator effects. Your mental model in your head is extreme hatred toward Albanians, and refuse anything they have a say regarding the ancient history. After the Caucasus theory of Serbs got burned, then they switched to Thracian and now Dacian. It's typical of you.

I have created models in G25 regarding those Scythian samples and Peloponessians are way closer to them than i am. Somewhat tricky to point, these calculators are quite limited. They work by admixture proportions.

Here is a model:

Why would I have "extreme hatred" towards Albanians or such "love" towards Serbs? Well you obviously read it, I'll make it longer next time. Besides much of it was calc data so just copy paste. :D I surely did 100 times more to reconstruct the paths of some Albanian Y-DNA lineages than you. (and ofc you did nothing)

Where did I promote any Caucasus theory ever?

Here is a model:

Your model has you as having 1/4 of Germanic? Germanic influence seems far lower than Slavic autosomally around the Balkans. Who is "Iron age Greek"? That Cretan low coverage "Dorian" sample?? I don't think that sample is reliable. Greeks are heavily admixed, with heavy Slavic admixture in areas such as Macedonia, also in areas with Albanian and Vlach admixture such as Peloponessus for Albanian and Thessaly for the Vlach. Only some islander Greeks are some indication.

So you are closer to Illyrian in G25, what about Iberians? :grin:
 
Say it again, you did what? You did nothing lol.

Peloponessian samples are very Southern Balkans, and have no Albanian or Vlach ancestry.

The Greek Iron Age is from Empuries2, they were probably with origin from Hellenic Anatolian coast. And no, the model was not to prove that i am very close to Dalmatians which i am not in comparison with North Italians, one more thing to note is those samples don't have Anatolian_Tepecik Ciftlig which Albanians and Greeks have it which might be a LBA/IA influence from Anatolia considering that Myceneans didn't have it.
 
btw, Northern Italians are the closest to Dalmatians not Spaniards. This makes sense, not the one modelling Mexicans/Urugyans as Illyrian + Mayan lol.

Not as Southern as Iron Age Greeks, still heavy Slavic influence and Arvanite it seems as well.

I see, looks very Greek, namely looks Mycenaean + something Northern Balkan which arrived in Dorian invasions. Which is when most of E-V13 arrived to the Greece. Unlike your idiotic claim that our hg is "through and through Southern Balkan" that is some Pelasgian slaves. No E-V13 is native to Greece or Southern Albania. They expanded to those areas.

The ancestor of all modern E-V13 practiced Kurgan burial, deal with it, anybody denying that is unworthy to be a E-V13.

Progon being Progon,:LOL::LOL::LOL: Anatolian Neolithic Ciftlig is an indication of LBA/IA ancestry/influence, Anatolian Ciftlig was an ancestor of EEF's!!! And by the EBA, BMA, IA Anatolian autosomal profile had completely altered. All of Paleo-Balkanites (and almost all Europeans) had EEF ancestry, including Dalmatians. They don't have to cluster in any way with Ciftlig, but rather Balkan EEF's and they do have strong Dalmatian EEF element which is expected.

If u remove the Slavic admixture Albanians received during Middle Age then they would have been identical to the Bronze Age Dalmatian (he even carried a Y-DNA common only among modern Northern Albanians), the Iron Age Dalmatian looks like he mixed with Latins of some sort. He got extra WHG admixture something which the Bronze Age sample lacked.

I think, even Illyrians from Albania and inland will be no different from the Dalmatians, maybe slightly more West_Asian and less WHG than that Iron Age sample.

If you mix the Bronze Age Dalmatian with a Mycenaean, then you have something closer to Albanians and Greeks. The only difference is that Albanians and Greeks will have some Slavic admixture. Removing the Slavic admixture from Albanians does not pull them closer to the Bronze Age Dalmatian. Rather the opposite. Because the Albanians will be closer to Bronze Age Greeks rather than the Bronze Age Dalmatian. Hence I suspect that there were migrations in the Balkans during the Iron Age. And this pulled the Northern Balkans closer to the Mycenaeans, while the South Balkans Albania and the Greek peninsula were pulled a little bit towards the Bronze Age Dalmatian. Then during the medieval migrations the South Balkans was pulled North East.

You have some serious issues, Anatolia_N_Tepecik_Ciftlik is an Anatolian Neolithic with Eastern affinities, like CHG/Levant. North Italians, Spaniards, Myceneans, Dalmatians lack it. Greeks, South Italians and Albanians to some degree have more of it. You shouldn't take them literally as you do because you are dull :D, it might be some Anatolian influence.

Dude, there was no Tepecik_Ciftlik ancestry in existence in the entire Anatolia in Iron Age. They were all looong diluted with CHG and other ancestries. How can ancestry which does not exist anymore arrive from Anatolia in Iron Age???? If it does then much more of CHG and the rest must have arrived too.

Tepecik is completely irrelevant to any European LBA/IA population. It acquired some Eastern affinity after the separation with the proto-EEF's.

It is though likely there was some Anatolian ancestry, but in the form of Imperial Roman legionaries, settlers etc. If Albanians, Greeks, South Italians have it it is due to Imperial Roman and Byzantine Anatolian influence.

There was some Greek influence in the N.Balkans, but generally in LBA/EIA there was massive migration to the South coinciding with the Mycenaean fall. You forget that the Dalmatian Iron Age sample is even more Northern than the MBA samples. This is in line with proven Urnfield migrations from Central Europe in LBA/IE which caused the Mycenaean fall. I already proposed the main difference: Illyrians were Bell Beaker inspired, while the entire Thracian and Greek world was Yamnaya inspired regarding their IE element, with Srubnaya-like influence.

The Bell Beaker - Yamnaya cline is the basis of difference between Illyrian and Thraco-Greek groups. The other one is Neolithic, but the differences between Neolithic elements were generally smaller than those between BB and Yamnaya.

Mycenaeans were essentially Minoans with small Yamnaya influence.

.

It is though likely there was some Anatolian ancestry, but in the form of Imperial Roman legionaries, settlers etc. If Albanians, Greeks, South Italians have it it is due to Imperial Roman and Byzantine Anatolian influence.

It could also be that Sea peoples had Anatolian influence. And/or since Greeks settled vastly on both side of the Aegean there was circulation between of people in the Greek world (Western Anatolia and Greece) since the Iron Age into the Classical Age and Roman/Byzantine Age. Albanians seem to be connected closer to the Greeks rather than the BA Illyrians.
 
It could also be that Sea peoples had Anatolian influence.

IMO, Sea People were a confederation among Myceneans, some other Southern European groups allied with Myceneans and West Anatolians. Trojan war might be the end-result of the Sea Peoples turning their swords against each other.

I have ancestry from Liguria, Emilia and Toscana

Northern Italians and Tuscans are not all Illyrians or Pannonians. :)

Szolad is in an area which was an island of Romanized people long after other areas were overrun, whose people kept their culture, their Romance language etc. I have no idea if they were "locals" or displaced people from other parts of Europe or even Italy itself. At one point the Byzantines retook it, which would explain some of the more Southern Italian/Greek and Greek Islander like people.

See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keszthely_culture

"The Romanic population from Pannonia created the Keszthely culture that evolved mainly during the 6th-7th centuries. Its artifacts were made in the workshops of Roman origin located mainly in the fortified settlements of Keszthely-Fenékpuszta and Sopianae (modern Pécs)."

"By the end of the 6th century, the Romanized populace was mainly buried in the row cemeteries that were newly laid out in the area of the late Roman fortresses of Keszthely (Castellum) and Pécs (Sopianae) (southwestern Hungary). During the period of Avar rule, Romanized and Byzantine people arrived from the Balkans, and they helped develop a community of skilled artisans. These communities, probably Christian, preserved or renewed their artistic relations with the Romanized population of the Mediterranean."

"The name Keszthely (IPA [ˈkɛst.hɛj]) could be related to the IstriotVenetian castei, which means "castle", and is probably an original word of the Pannonian Romance language, according to the Austrian linguist Julius Pokorny.[2"

I dont think it has anything with Slavic admixture, i believe Albanians are far from Bronze Age Dalmatian because he was still not real Illyrian. He was more of a proto-IE. Therefore that is why he is so much northeast shifted. Towards Ukraine, etc.. These Bronze Age proto-IEs later mixed with natives, and especially around Mediterranean Sea where then later Illyrian cluster was made.

Illyrians should be mix of what you call Pelasgians (older populations) and Bronze Age arriving Indo-Europeans. The earliest records of Illyrian tribes go around eight century BCE, therefore i believe Illyrians from around 800 BCE to 400 BCE will be probably much different from Dalmatian Bronze Age sample and much more close to Romans for example, therefore also more close to Albanians.


My closest ancient population are Romans at GD 8, and if we would have Illyrians aDNA from same period they would be probably very close to Albanians also.

Interesting, this gives some evidence that post-Bronze Age Greeks were more paleo-Balkan admixed.

This could be true for the South Illyrians. But in order to hypothesize that Illyrians in Dalmatia later mixed with Pelasgians, we would first have to prove that Pelasgians were inhabiting that area.

It is more likely that Pelasgian peoples were inhabiting the SouthBalkans. Most of them were Hellenized by proto-Hellenes and Dorians, while
others were influenced linguistically by the Illyrians. These resulted to the ancestors of the Albanians. The North Illyrians who were different biologically from Albanians/Greeks/Thracians were eventually Sclavinized. Also, the Romans massacred many of them.
