Slavic Ethnogenesis: Video

[Peterski]

It wasn't just Lech, Czech & Rus - but Lech, Czech, Rus, Serb & Croat. They threw dice to see who goes where: Poles to the North, Russians to the East, Czechs to the West, Serbs and Croats to the South (as you can see they were unhappy about that at first, but now they like having so many tourists).

Edit:

Translation added (thanks Albobalboa for posting it):

"Eastern Europe
7th century
Prophet: Brothers Slavs, let us see who goes which way! You Poles, to the north!
Polish: Great!
Prophet: You Russians, to the east!
Russian: Thank heavens!
Prophet: You Czechs, to the west!
Czech: Perfect!
Croatian: And where do we go?!
Prophet: There, where no one wants to.
Croatian: Where?
Prophet: The south!
(old Slavic cussing)
Bosnian: Croatians are really in the big trouble!
Montenegrin: Really, they're gonna have to work on that karst on such great heat!

Croatian 2: Such beauty!
Croatian 3: After so many years, finally on our own turf. Are we staying?
Croatians: We're staying!

Dalmatia
21st century
Croatian: Finally alone at the beach!
Croatian 3: Are we staying?
Croatian 2: Well, we're staying.

Narrator: No matter what, our joy lasts on these areas since the 7th century. And hence we're staying where we are!

Prophet: Brothers, south Slavs!
Bosnian: How do you mean, south? We as well?
Montenegrin: Let me tell you, I'm not about to work on that karst.
Bosnian: Me neither."

From a commenters' translation. Slavic commercials tend to be good apparently, like the Polish one about truck drivers.

This study found that Slavic-speaking populations share more DNA in common with each other, than Germanic-speaking populations share with each other:

This is most probably related to the fact that Slavic expansion was the most recent large expansion in Europe's history.

Germanic expansion was slightly older (so less shared DNA survived to our times), and Celtic the oldest of these three.

Also Germanic migrants moved into densely inhabited and urbanized Roman areas.

For example when Goths moved to Spain, they were just few dozen thousand people, invading a society of few million people.

That could not have very significant genetic impact, they "melted" into their subjects.

By contrast Slavic expansion affected areas largely depopulated (often abandoned by previous tribes before Slavs moved in).

how about the Bulgarians, Macedonians, Boniaks and Montenegrins?

Bulgars were non Slavic, and the res't aren't historical Slavic people, just modern inventions.

if the Bulgars aren't Slavic than what else can they be?

Turkic conquerors.

The Bulgars (also Bulghars, Bulgari, Bolgars, Bolghars, Bolgari,[1] Proto-Bulgarians[2]) were Turkic semi-nomadic warrior tribes that flourished in the Pontic-Caspian steppe and the Volga region during the 7th century. Emerging as nomadic equestrians in the Volga-Ural region, according to some researchers their roots can be traced to Central Asia.[3] During their westward migration across the Eurasian steppe the Bulgars absorbed other ethnic groups and cultural influences, including Hunnic and Indo-European peoples.[4][5][6][7][8][9] Modern genetic research on Central Asian Turkic people and ethnic groups related to the Bulgars points to an affiliation with Western Eurasian populations.[9][10][11] The Bulgars spoke a Turkic language, i.e. Bulgar language of Oghuric branch.[12] They preserved the military titles, organization and customs of Eurasian steppes,[13] as well as pagan shamanism and belief in the sky deity Tangra.[14]

How come they speak a Slavic language then?

[Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić]

How come they speak a Slavic language then?

They were minority among Slavs and Thracians in lower Danube area, just elite dominance and language was lost.

There is Bosniak and Montenegrin in the video. They stand next to Croats.
