Which Y haplogroup did Alexander the Great belong to?

[Skif]

Hellenic army spread EV13 in middle east with Alexander campaign so they were most probably EV13

He wasnt a commoner,he was part of the nobility thus his y chromosome was most likely of IE origin just like most of the later european rulers.

[Ayetooey]

Probs something neolithic like E-V13, or J something.

There is almost no R1a in the Balkans from Indo Europeans and the R1a that does exist that isn't Slavic isn't the same clade as Slavs but more like the Bronze Age that was found in Bulgaria which seems to rather have a Indo-Iranian relation. IE people brought R1b-L23 / BY611 and some J into Europe and the Balkans like J2b2 L283, maybe some J2a also came with IE and some with Near Eastern migrations through Anatolia. Maybe some I2a2 also came during the Bronze Age.

Nobility back then and being of IE descent aren't even the same nor is there any correlation whatsoever.

The origin of IE people isn't even fully understood. Near Eastern / Neolithic people were probably the first IE speakers.

Never said it was slavic R1a.Near Eastern IE speakers lol?You base that on what exactly?

[Elwy]

J2 or E1b

[Freeroostah]

Alexander the Great was a member of the Argead dynasty (Argos) which probably makes him J2, E1b, or R1b

lmao with people who say I2 and R1a, they are clueless

[gıulıoımpa]

i am not an Expert but one should not fall in the equiparation between army and nobilty.

just like the first romans to descend the italian peninsula were r1b but Roman armies are famous to have left J2 in conquered territories the same is probably valid for the Army of Alexander.

They just wanna claim historical figures that they have absolutely nothing to do with. Alexander was genetically like a modern Greek and Albanian basically. My bet would be he would plot around where a lot of Epirote and mainland Greeks, some Tosks and Southern Ghegs plot considering his mother was Epirote. But Macedonia was settled by Slavs later and modern Greek Macedonians are actually more Northern Shifted than Ancient Macedonians probably were.

Steppe or IE admixture probably was not even that strong in the Southern Balkans, the people there were autosomally majority Neolithic.

We have Mycanean samples that south and we have some Thracian Samples from Southern Bulgaria that plotted with Tuscans or south of Tuscans.


Hell, Alexander was possibly a very Southern shifted person. Maybe even more South than many mainland Greeks and Albanians.

Maybe he plotted with Abruzzo on K15.

I2 are Gauls, British Celts, Spanish Celts(I2a1), Illyrians (I2a2), Etruscans (I2a1a)

J2, E1b are Hellenic peoples like Alexander the Great.

Macedonian Empire, and Diadochi were mostly ruled by J2, Early Rome had both J2 and I2

The Argead dynasty was of Dorian origin who came from the north so probably R1b. J2 and E1b makes little sense
