This is my Ancestry Composition on DNA.land





I was surprissed i scored 1.3% kalash, as far as i know they are descendants of Alexander's greek settlers.


Makes sense since my father's family are from Macedonia since unmemorable times.

I've read that kalash people share DNA with Greeks.

Do you know more info about them?

"The uniparental data we have confirms they aren't descendants of Alexander the Great's forces (per Firasat et al. 2007, only a single Y-DNA E1b1b1 Pakistani Pashtun man out of hundreds was found to have any genealogical connection with modern Greeks). Same goes for the autosomal data. The Kalash are overwhelmingly similar to their neighbours."

Yup. It was just Greek and actually moreso Slavic Macedonian media propaganda. All over similarities that could have easily stemmed from the early Indo-Europeans.

But despite this, they claim themselves descendants of Alexander's army

The Kalash people of Pakistan were found to have chunks of DNA from an ancient European population. Statistical analysis suggests a mixing event before 210 B.C., possibly from the army of Alexander the Great.

DNAland is pure shit and should not be taken seriously,especially at 1.3%.
The Kalash people don't have anything to do with Greeks and even if they did, you wouldn't be able to pick it up on this test.

I am 8% fucking Balkan according to mine.

Dude, just read the wikipedia article about them (Genetic origins) and you'll see they have nothing to do with you or Alexander and his army.

And If I claim I'm an apple, then would you accept me as an apple?!
