Are modern Greeks really related to ancient Greeks?

Cypriots are mostly Levantine.

Yes, but have also ancient Greeks dna, if i remember they are modelable like Ancient Greeks and Phoenicians

[Kenshiro]

I'm Greek and i agree with you that Albanians are partially descended from Ancient Greeks.

yes, I think it's obvious, two peoples who lived in close contact

[ultright]

IMHO wrong question. Obviously they are descended from ancient Greeks, but something foreign was added as well, breaking the line.

In the same way Russians have some Nordic ancestors, but are clearly not Nordic except in isolated pockets and even then Asiatic admixture is high.

"Asiatic" (I guess you mean Mongoloid) admixture is not high in ethnic Russians.

Only Voskos is

Asiatic means anything tinged with Asian. In this case, unknown Eastern Elements as well as Armenid, Arab, Turkic, and Jewish.

Even more wrong then.

Yes

[Hellenas]

Yes they are, the admixtures with foreigners is infinitesimal.

The Greeks really do have near-mythical origins

Oh, common. If you haven't mixed why do you have so many phenotypes in your country? You can actually find anything in the Balkans, from Nordid to East Med. and Dinarid

This answers your question, Greeks were except of Mediterranean a Balkan mixture since the beginning.

THE RACIAL COMPOSITION OF ANCIENT GREECE(Robert Charles)
https://hellenicrace.freeforums.net/...greece-charles

In every period we see a majority of Mediterraneans-CM who go slightly decreasing over the centuries. Largely they represent the ancient Greeks. Over the centuries, there has been a gradual increase of brachycephalic Alpines-Dinarics and simultaneously of mixed types. Charles even if he states that there is not "Greek race", he admit that the physiognomy of the Greek population has remained largely the same over the centuries and the Greeks are descendants of the ancient Greeks and not a mixture of medieval invaders, such as Avars, Franks, Turks, Venetians. That is to say, Charles finds racial continuity to Greeks, considering however that originally they belong to these four specific racial types.
