[1] "1. CLOSEST SINGLE ITEM DISTANCES"
Albanian_Central Albanian_Laberia (N=4) Greek_Messinia (N=3) Greek_Lakonia
2.868128 3.688252 4.617131 4.942823

You are closest to central Albanians and to Labs, but also to Messinians and Lakonians.

I’m not sure, as far as I know my whole family are Albanians from Epirus. I’ve always been mistaken for Greek and Italian but never Albanian. I’m assuming that the three races are very closely related with each other.

Interesting how where you able to come to this conclusion with my Dodecad results? I’ve been having a hard time interperating them myself.

Very sexy results

Can you also post your genetic communities from AncestryDNA?

That option unfortunately was never made available for my account.

They are related but different regions have other inputs that create their clusters (i.e. stronger Near Eastern in Aegean islanders and southern Italians, more Slavic input around Thessaloniki, the impact of Pontic Greeks settling in northern Greece, etc).

I have not yet figured out Albanian genetic variation, though. It would seem to me as if southern Albania is actually closest to Epirus and Peloponnese, but less Slavic than Greek Macedonians/Thessalians/Thracians.
