Who, genetically, are the least Slavic of the Slavs?

Macedonians.

Since early begining studying of my autosomal on Gedmatch K13, I got Greek in model with Ukrainians in mixed mode oracle.

It is not coincidence or mistake, but proxy of pre-Slavic population of Serbia.

I doubt they could have been like Greek islanders. It was likelier a population with more West Med than East Med. Greek islanders have significantly more East Med. Or maybe that's because the Slavic part came with West Med and next to no East Med, hence why West Med is inflated in Serbs.

Well, I said like Greek mainlanders, as you can see.
It was Stearsolina who mentioned islanders first.

It is very likely to be correct what you suggest here. I myself score quite a lot of West Med (almost 12%) while scoring close to 0 East Med. It seemed to be a trend among ethnic Poles unless one has partial Jewish ancestry (the very low East Med admixture). And I plot well within the Polish cluster iirc. Poles are regarded as one of the more 'Slavic Slavs' so there's that. Albeit I've seen reportedly proto-Slavic samples who were Lithuanian-like so it is not so clear yet. I am of opinion that Early Slavic speakers were relatively heterogeneous actually.

regarding the pre-Slavic population, I think this is something that should work for most of the Balkans:

it's 25% Croatia IA, 25% Bulgaria IA, 50% Imperial Roman.

Can you show me the Imperial Roman sample?

I just used the average of all imperial Roman samples.

Thanks. It comes up as very, very swarthy as expected. But it also goes to show that most Southern Italians have little to no Moorish blood in them.

here's something that further confirms my theory:

A sample from an upcoming study about Celts. His dating and location are still unknown. He is R-M458 and plots like the "Balts" from Pohansko, but even more BS drifted.
Since the study is about Celts, he could be from somewhere Iron Age Eastern Poland (the most eastern reach of Celtic archaeological influence), but I'm just guessing.

This seems correct, the simplest model I could do to model the pre-Slavic ancestry of Serbs.
