Learn about genetics before calling someone a "Dumbass" stupid Kurva. J2b2-L283 is associated with Albanians in the Balkans and not Greeks as they are associated with J2a and not J2b2-L283. Also I didn't say "Ancient Albanians" retard, I just said Albanians and I think it's from Arbereshe and not ancient at all

[wvwvw]

Albanians aren't Illyrians and associated them with Illyrians is anachronism and a rape of history especially when all linguists have made it perfectly clear that the Albanian language has pretty much zero to do with Illyrian.

[Kelmendasi]

So where are we from? Also there was a proto-Illyrian that was found to be J2b2-L283 a haplogroup that peaks in Albanians so saying that we aren't linked to them is a retarded statement

[Tacitus]

On one hand I'd imagine there could be some connection from the Neolithic/Chalcolithic Balkans too, but on the other hand there's this from an older study:
http://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.1001555

There is relatively little common ancestry shared between the Italian peninsula and other locations, and what there is seems to derive mostly from longer ago than 2,500 ya. An exception is that Italy and the neighboring Balkan populations share small but significant numbers of common ancestors in the last 1,500 years, as seen in Figures S16 and S17S17. The rate of genetic common ancestry between pairs of Italian individuals seems to have been fairly constant for the past 2,500 years, which combined with significant structure within Italy suggests a constant exchange of migrants between coherent subpopulations.

Also, the study in the OP covered other parts of southern Italy too (Calabria, Basilicata, Puglia), but most of the samples are from Sicily.

[wvwvw]

Not only E-V13 but J2b2-L283 as well as this haplogroup is reaches it's highest frequency in the Balkans, also as I said before there were J2b2-PH1751 samples in Sicily

You idiot the oldest clades of both J2 and Ev13 are found in Greece. The Ev13 in Albanians is due to a thing called FOUNDER EFFECT. Not a single historian has recorded a trace of Albanians before the 11th century while even the smallest balkan tribes are meticulosly recorded.

Who's talking about J2? I'm talking about J2b2-L283 a haplogroup that peaks among Albanians and not J2. Did I say that the oldest clades of E-V13 weren't from Greece..No I didn't. It's expected of a speng like you to jump to conclusions your so retarded that you think that humans come from Greece

Again, J2a is linked with Greeks not J2b2

yeah, I get Italian matches . some are more recent and confirmed Arbereshe. Others more old.

in East Italy where Messapian Ilyrians settled you'll find a lot of EV13 , J2b2 etc Messapian was also linked to Albanian by some. We also plot East of Italians.

Also Italians settled in Croatia etc. And also Romanized people that fused into the South Slavic POPulation.

But Italy has no I2a-din AFAIK unless some Balkan settlers brought it during the Ottoman invasion like some Albanians, Greeks , Bulgarians etc therefore I don't see much connection with Balkans unless you take away the Slavic influence but thats absolutely nothing new

[MinervaItalica]

Waves after waves of Greek tribes colonized Italy since 1700 BC. Italy was ruled by the Cretan king Saturn and was called Saturnia.


:confused:

[Sikeliot]

It's clearly Greek ancestry by and large. What the hell do Serbs, Croatians, etc. have to do with Sicily? And it must either predate the NE European infiltration into Greece, or the haplogroups show founder effect, as modern Sicilians show little to no NE European affinity but Balkan people do.

My own y-dna could be Greek.

What is clear is the additional Levantine affinity existing in excess of that found in Greece is on the MATERNAL side which implies that ancestry predates Magna Graecia and might be Phoenician or late Bronze Age Canaanite. Using the percentage of Levantine mtdna and y-dna and dividing by 2, it gives about 23-24% Levantine contribution to the island likely in excess of that of the Balkans, which fits well with what studies have shown.

[wvwvw]

:confused:

Which part of it you don't understand? The fact that half of Italy was called Saturnia and was ruled by a Cretan king or the fact that Sicily was a Greek city state with a Greek population? :confused:

[Kriptc06]

Oh cool you talking about V13 :D subscribed

And J2b2 is v13's bro btw.

[Sikeliot]

I will add though, the study not sampling Palermo but using BOTH Enna and SE Sicily, skews everything toward Greece since both regions have been shown to link to Greece on their y-dna side. If Palermo was used the Levantine input would be higher.

[Kelmendasi]

Oh cool you talking about V13 :o subscribed

And J2b2 is v13's bro btw.
Yh both peak among Albos and have a similar frequency among Albos as well, although I think that most E-V13 in Sicily is Greek but the J2b2-L283 is either Neolithic or Arbereshe/Albanian

[MinervaItalica]

Because both Hellads, Pelasgians (Myceaneans) and Hellenes colonized Sicily and all of them were Greek, the combination of these people made up the Ancient Greeks. The Hellads weren't Levantines, they had been in Greece for at least 10,000 years, and they colonized Italy more than 2500 years ago, in fact from 1700 BC.

[Sikeliot]

If we were to assume haplogroups indicate ancestry, then we end up with Sicilians being:

46% Greek (let's be real, they have very little non-Greek Balkan ancestry)
30.5% Southwest European
23.5% Levantine

This seems about right to me actually. This would allow Greeks to have been as NE European then as today, as Sicilians have roughly half the NE Euro of mainland Greeks.

[MinervaItalica]

This is the only Greek influence in the Italian peninsula:

Sicily has little I or R1a if any

I think it is more that Sicilians have a lot of the Balkan subclades of J2, R1b, and E1b1b which would be due to Greek and possibly Illyrian input.

I am R1a, and I suspect it is from Byzantine-era Greek influence.

R1a-Z93 is the Indo-Iranian branch and is virtually absent in the Balkans. The most predominant clades in the Balkans are Slavic clades http://www.eupedia.com/europe/Haplogroup_R1a_Y-DNA.shtml#Slavic. Obviously R1a is older than the Slavs but some mutations of R1a evolved in the Slavic ethnogenesis which is why they are part of a Slavic clade

Mot sure who made that map but Eupedia is fairly reliable


Bosnian and Serbian R1a belongs for the most part to a young clade of CTS1211 (Y33>CTS8816>Y3300>Y5647>YP611>YP3987>YP3992 subclade; TMRCA 950 years), with a minority of older M458 (CTS11962>L1029 subclade; TMRCA 2200 years) and Z92 (Y4459>YP617 subclade; TMRCA 3400 years). Croatian R1a falls almost exclusively within CTS1211, but to another clade (Y35>CTS3402>Y2613>Y2608 subclade, TMRCA 1950 years), with a small minority of YP340>P278.2 (TMRCA 2100 years). The R1a-Y3300 (aka L1280) found in Serbia and Bosnia seems to have expanded from Poland via Hungary during the early medieval period. The Croatian R1a-Y2608 also expanded from Poland during the same period, but via Czechia, Slovakia, Austria and Slovenia.

[Kelmendasi]

According to Eupedia, Sicily has a low amount of R1a-Z93 but on the map I posted it seems to be the most dominant clade of R1a.

[Kelmendasi]

http://oi48.tinypic.com/2e1hw2c.jpg

[Kelmendasi]

It is the ancient Greeks who had the biggest impact on the genetic make-up of southern Italy. From the 8th century BCE the Greeks set up colonies all along the coasts of Campania, Calabria, Basilicata, southern Apulia, and Sicily (except the western tip) in what would become known as Magna Graecia. Their genetic signature are essentially haplogroups J2 (18-30%) and E1b1b (15-25%), but the ancient Greeks also carried some R1b-M269/L23 (5-10%), G2a (3-8%), T (1-6%), I2a1b (1-5%), R1a (1-3%), and J1 (1-2%). It is very clear on the haplogroup maps that the areas in central and southern Italy furthest from the coast and from ancient Greek colonies, such as Abruzzo, Molise and the southern Apennines correspond to the highest percentages of haplogroups G2a, J1 and T in Italy, but also the lowest frequency of E1b1b and J2 in the southern half of Italy. There is no better way to contrast the Neolithic population of Italy with the ancient Greek colonists.

The Greeks also colonised Liguria and the French Riviera, where they founded Genoa, Nice (which was an Italian city until 1860) and Marseille. The Phoenicians and Cartaginians also kept bases in Liguria at some point. Modern Ligurians have the highest percentage of haplogroup E1b1b outside southern Italy (almost entirely the Greek E-V13), but also the highest level of G2a and J1 outside the Apennines, which probably means that this mountainous region also served as a shelter to Neolithic populations during the Italic invasions. R1b makes up about half of Ligurian lineages, among which 22% belong to the U152 subclade, 20% to P312 (the highest level in Italy), 6% to L23, and 2% to L21. The ancient Ligures spoke a language intermediary between Celtic (P312, L21) and Italic (U152) families, and their Y-DNA is split exactly in half between Italic and Celtic. The 6% of L23 are probably of Greek origin. Overall about one third of the modern Ligurian lineages could be of Greek origin.

[catgeorge]

Then it is probably from Hellenized West Asians who came to Sicily when it was Byzantine. Probably Armenians, Persians, etc.

More likely Hellenized Thracians and Scythians.. Bulgaria and Romania today have a very diverse R1a but none to the "young" group.

[Kelmendasi]

Between 1200 and 539 BCE the Phoenicians built a vast commercial empire from their Levantine homeland along the southern Mediterranean as far as Iberia. In Italy they had colonies in western Sicily and southern and western Sardinia. Based on the haplogroups found in modern Lebanon and in their former colonies, the Phoenicians seem to have carried a mixture of haplogroup J2, J1, E1b1b, G, R1b-M269/L23, T, L, R1b-V88, R2 and Q, roughly in that order of frequency. By comparing Sardinian and Lebanese DNA, it can be estimated that the Sardinians have inherited between 16% and 24% of their Y-DNA from the Phoenicians (see details).

[Sikeliot]

http://oi48.tinypic.com/2e1hw2c.jpg

Trapani and Palermo should be flipped here. Trapani is very predominantly R1b, Palermo is more J2. Also no way is Ragusa mostly I1, they are more E1b.

A Thracian was found to be R1a-Z93 so maybe

[Kelmendasi]

the three haplogroups associated with the Kura-Araxes culture. Although little data is available at present about deep clades in Crete or Aegean Greece, the parts of Italy that were colonised by Ionic and Doric Greeks, notably Sicily, Calabria and Basilicata, possess substantial percentages of typically Caucasian haplogroups, such as G2a-L297, J1-Z1828 and J2a-L581, as well as considerable levels of Middle Eastern and Caucasian autosomal admixture by European standards. In fact, it seems that many branches of J2a (e.g. M319, Z7671, F3133, Z6046, L581) may have expanded from the South Caucasus from the Chalcolithic onwards. The presence of these haplogroups and admixtures in southern Italy almost certainly represent Kura-Araxes ancestry inherited from Minoan Greeks from the Aegean islands.

[Kelmendasi]

J2a from Romans:
Z435 was formed about 3,600 years ago and has a TMRCA of only 3,100 years (± 300 years). The latter corresponds roughly to the timing of the invasion of Italian peninsula by Italic tribes from the Alps. Z435 has numerous subclades of its own, and most have been identified in central Italy. This could either mean that Z435 was one of the founding Italic lineages, or that it was already in Italy and was assimilated by the Italic tribes. The PF5456 subclade is barely 2500 years old, and would have emerged and propagated after the founding of Rome. Outside Italy, it is now found in such varied places as Portugal, Spain, France, Britain, Belgium, southern Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, Tunisia or Lebanon, all regions colonised by the Romans. Z2177, another subclade of Z435, is a bit under 3,000 years old. It has various subclades of its own which are scattered today around Italy (northern Italy, Tuscany, Latium, Sicily, Sardinia) and in places like Switzerland, south-west Germany, Britain, Spain, Romania, Greece, Turkey and Syria - also all these regions were part of the Roman Empire. Italy has by far the highest concentration of Z2177 of any country.
