That's not far apart, not when we're talking of a time span of 2000 years, and a folk migration in between. Your Czechs and Brits and Germans are far apart from the ancient Greeks, not the modern Greeks.Er Monnezza;654178]I base this on the genomes of the ancient Greeks that we have so far. I am Southern Italian, not Albanian.
"GRC_Mycenaean" is an average of 4 individuals who lived in the Peloponnese between 1346 and 1300 BC.
"Iberia_Northeast_Empuries2" is an average of 2 individuals who lived in the Greek colony of Emporion in Spain between 576 and 276 BC.
Below you can see the closest modern populations to them, and also note that they are all far apart.

As I've said till I'm blue in the face, that's what from 15-30% of Slavic ancestry will do to you. Doesn't mean they aren't descended from them, and to a substantial degree.
The passage of time did the same to my own genome, which comes out in more than one calculator as 70% Latin and 30% "Minoan like". So, there you go. Those are the results I get, and my genealogical tree shows all my ancestors lived not just on the Italian peninsula, but in the same rather isolated area of the Italian peninsula for at least 1000 years. Are my scores too, "just a coincidence"?
