This is not the same study (is it?) however look at it:

Btw, Angela I don't really care about Mycenaean civilization (since you were assuming I am being jealous) as for the second millennium before Christ I tend to find Ancient Egyptians more interesting (Classical Hellenes are an other story). However I was just making a point.
As for all this. I am pretty sure that Greeks are not descendants of Belorussians. Because Greeks are overwhelmingly Brunettes, and sometimes olive skinned, while Belorussians are majority blonde or light haired. There was no need for this study. ^.^
Ed. Sorry, Latgal, I see you took care of most of it.
Ah, excuse me, but you do know that those are different Mycenaean samples, yes, and you're supposed to add them up? That's over and beyond the fact that these are not papers but amateur analysis using questionable combinations.
Also, I've told you before that the Italy south sample seems to be bizarre, perhaps because of extreme drift, and has very distant FST with
everyone, and that includes
Bronze Age Levant, Early and Mid Bronze Age
Armenia, and all the Bronze Age European populations. The same is true for the Sardinians. Interestingly, when the Otzi genome came out, his highest similarity after the Sardinians was with southern Italians.
Oh, and since this modern sample has such a high FST with Bronze Age Levant, it just emphasizes the fact that the ancient populations chosen for the run on southern Italians are agenda driven. People, you can fiddle with that method, throwing in any populations you choose in order to get the preferred result. Don't trust any results from certain people. Stick to the academics who have a career and a livelihood to lose, although incompetence in some lesser known researchers is also a factor.
To the board, the author of this paper is an author of the Lazaridis paper, as someone else has posted.
No one is denying that Albanians have high similarity to the Mycenaeans, although there is a ranking...How it happened, exactly, we don't know.
