XenophobicBOrussian is right about projection bias but he muddles things when he starts talking about "southern" this and "northern" that. He should stick to talking about roughly what the axes seem to show, Basal-less vs Basal-more and ANE-less vs ANE-more.
Here you can see where those "southern"-looking Hungarian and Balkan (Croatian-Bulgarian) Bronze and Iron Age samples would roughly fall in a PCA with no projection bias ("PC scores of projected individuals are often biased toward zero relative to individuals used to compute PCs. This has the effect of shrinking the plot of projected data." - http://www.nature.com/ejhg/journal/v...012258a.html):

Black circle = ancient samples, plotting roughly with some Spaniards - North Italians - some Tuscans
Red = central-northern Greeks - Albanians - Bulgarians
Green = Croatians - Hungarians
Black lines = delineating where Sardinians and EEF are
To get to the South Balkans, and Bronze-Iron Age Albania-Greece-Aegean remain unsampled mind you, you need something extra that pushes you towards ANE-more then something that pushes you towards Basal-less for the Northern Balkans - or both at the same time for the latter; and even for the earlier group, it was probably a bit of tug-of-war since PCA simplifies these things. We can call those populations "Anatolians" and "Slavs" in a generic sense, considering historical ties with the Balkans, while including in them all sorts of populations that have similar proportions. We also have no clue when and how gradually this shift happened, yet.
Another interesting question is why XBOX is spending so much time on this instead of worrying about the comparatively much more massive population turnovers happening elsewhere. Presumably a combination of huwhite is right and his hatred of the WOP and the ANE! But psychoanalyzing aside, when a man is right - a man is right.
Also, please someone tell LABERIA that he very likely has prosfig blood in him, thanks.
