Its not. In Bulgaria is dominant E1b hg, in Moldova R1a etc.

And Herzegovians are Slavs?

the first map says "Groupings based on Y-DNA haplogroups" doesn't it?

Hmm yes I see that now. But the map itself doesn't really correspond with Y-DNA distribution. I think the description is wrong or misleading.

Very cool.
I was looking at a few below these and my DNA is over half Irish/Scot/Welsh, yet I have all dark features. Visited Ireland and I don't look like anyone there. Perhaps, maybe more Welsh. My skin is fair with some warm undertones.

That map seems great.
I would just called the Balkan populations, Paleo-Balkano-Slavic instead of Greco-Slavic.

Hungarians Slavo-Germanic?

And I'd rather call Czech Germano-Slavic rather than Slavo-Germanic, as they are more Slavic than Germanic still obviously (the Germanic influence is small). They're as Germanic as French are almost.

I guess it's a rough map according to the subjective perception of an ethnologue, but putting a wider scope on it you'd see noticeable division within said groups which cannot be ignored.

As to myself, italian, i speak 4.
