Indigenous Balkan I2a1 in southern Albania

Scholarios, how many serious historians in the world take seriously the genetic results in their studies?

I don't have any I2a1 among my 1250 relatives. Any other name for this?

You are from South Era?

0% I2a1b among my DNA relatives, which is why I plot like a civilized ancient beast.


















:D

Central Albania, so I have both southerners and greeks as relatives

For Tosks, maybe you are right. (though the Arbereshe studies show a lot of I2 and R1a) On Northern Greece, Battaglia did, and I think some others. It seems to me that Northern Greeks are strangely the most tested. I think Catgeorge posted those here very recently.

And it isn't just that. Look at the Greek family dna projects, this clade is found a lot there. Even if it is unorganized, it seems obvious to me. Probably some of it was even brought by Arvanites :cool:

Founder effect, it was not an extensive study.

Probably, but in any case, it's the same in the end. Slavic-speaking male origin for 30% of Arbershe.

edit: 30% of those tested. Samples were taken from several villages. I believe they were not a homogeneous group.

They would need to test thousands of them to make that conclusion and separate I2a1 clades from others. Sardinia peaks in I2a1 aswell.
