The people who invaded Greece in the middle ages would not have been like modern Bulgarians. But even today's Serbs for example are at least 50% Northeast European on average. Not to mention there are Bosniaks who are basically Ukrainian with one East Med grandparent or something like that.
Around 30% is exagerated not even in the parts of North Greece with higher Slavic
In Pelponnese its at best 14% or lower
You should go to Greece and visit once to constate that in crowds Greeks almost never look like Slavs
not even like Croatians,Serbs or Bulgarians who still feel more similar to us than other Slavic groups
Kipchaks and Avars were Central Asian/Eurasian peoples, they weren't Slavs. Are you one of those Med supremacists who hate everything North of Greece? Even if other Orthodox nations. Remember Russia used to be viewed as the Third Rome after Byzantium fell apart.
I am a practicing Orthodox myself.
You're right it's lower. But, this show mainland Greeks more Paleo-Balkan than Greco-Roman genetically.
Check it out, using ancient samples only:

Sorry but majority of Greeks ancestry is a mix of Paleolithic Mainland Greek(what probably is counted as Paleobalkan and shared with people such as Albos) and Neolithic Greek,Aegean,Anatolian.
Its also wrong what the other Greek poster said that Ancient Greeks were almost exclusivly Neolithic they were a mix of Paleolithic and Neolithic plus some Steppe/Yamnaya admixture from the Bronze Age and than on but relativly low in quantity
Sub :thumb001:
that's not true, they certainly had assimilated some natives of southern Balkans but the fact that several latin speaking cities (like tauresium) still existed in Balkan countries when Slavs invaded Greece shows that those slavs who invaded Greece were likely closer to proto-Slavs than modern south Slavic people are to proto-slavs.
as for the maps, the first is wrong, considering that Eastern Peloponnese wasn't occupied by Slavs (not that Slavs didn't emigrate there, they did but they didn't occupy the place) at the same time that the part of Epirus which has the most slavic toponyms in Greece is shown as "slavic-less"
Anyway, I think people always mention slavic admixture in Greece but usually forget "gasmuloi" of frankish era, who likely also brought some more steppe admixture
Prove me wrong, show some samples. There are plenty of Bulgarians and North Macedonians on Gedmatch and G25, there are specific threads about them here. That data proves me right, though I don't even have an agenda here 'cause I'm not a Balkan Slav, they aren't my people.
for the record, Mycaeneans weren't even settled in Thessaly and Macedonia, let alone Thrace, meanwhile Peloponnese (part of mainland) has some Kura-Araxes, not significantly lower than the second mycaenean sample.
We need ancient samples from these northern parts of Greece to make a conclusion. On the other hand considering that 3 out of 4 Mycaenean samples have less of this admixture than Kos does, you do realize that Kos has additional native pre-greek admixture that did not exist among ancient mainlanders
My evidence is what studies have been made until now about Greek genetics that don't attest an enormous impact of Slavs
or 30% Slav genes in Greece the fact that Greeks resemble about 70% the Mycanaeans and are closest modern populations along with Italians,Albos,Cypriots
Also the paper on Balto Slav genetics which you yourself referred to in the past and which groups Greeks far away from
Slavic people outside the Balkan and Balts and also marks a clear separation between Balkanic Slavs and Greeks
And what i see and what i see when i'm in Greece is not Slavic looking people the phenotype of Greeks in crowds even for Mainland Greeks feels very different from any Slavic ethnic they simply don't look like Slavs as a whole ,every idiot can go to Greece and can see that for himself i have no reason to lie,people here can claim whatever they want it doesn't change it
Okay but that's a load of crap in my opinion. Slavic people are light with light hair and blue-gray eyes. Exactly what I look like. So if anything, Slavic influence would result in a higher frequency of Northern phenotypes and not "Turanid".
Slavs are more acceptable in international White Nationalist circles than Greeks and that is not my opinion or a jab at you whatsoever.
Unfortunately, 95% of the people here are absolutely retarded, and come up with their own baseless numbers for Slavic admixture in Greece. If you want to get an accurate picture of the aforementioned admixture, using G25 would be your best bet. Below is a simple and precise model that works for mainland Greeks, using Slovakians as the group representing early Slavs. The addition of Syrian represents near eastern admixture that entered Greece. I am using them because I am suspecting that the original group were Greek speaking Christians from the Antioch area. UKR_Cimmerian represents any post Mycenaean native Balkan like stuff (Illyrian, Thracian, Dorian)

I'm too dumb somebody help my brain cells
Above example show South Slavs are no where near Polish and Ukranian samples so they are Greek shifted as Greek cluster is firmly within the Italian cluster.
The model isn't perfect so for some reason the Kura-Araxes admixure of I9010 is going into Iran_N and Levant_N instead. Kos are one of the most west Asian shifted out of all Greek islanders so of course them having elevated levels is not weird. I am not claiming that Dodecanese islanders are not shifted in different ways, they are mixed with Anatolians who might have resembled somethng like Cypriots but with less Levantine. Cretans are the ones that most resemble the original admixture (ignoring Calabrians, who could just be most similar through chance) but they also too are shifted with extra Steppe. Truth is, none of this matters, I just feel like some people here are claiming that ancient Greeks are super north shifted when they aren't. Also, the only haplogroups we found from ancient Greeks were J2 and G2, correct? We don't have many samples to go off, but when do you think E-V13 became the dominant haplogroup of mainlander Greeks?
