Do modern Macedonians have some Ancient Macedonian ancestry?

[Tauromachos]

I thought that there was a small gap between Greeks and South Slavs, but they seem to be part of the same genetic cline.

Also, it's interesting that Slavic Macedonians are genetically closer to Pelopennesians than to Greek Macedonians.

They are not they are clearly distinguished from Greeks

[Scholarios]

So it seems that South Slavs form a genetic continuity with Greeks. I thought that there was a small gap between Greeks and South Slavs, but they seem to be part of the same genetic cline.

Macedonians though may be something of a unique case, particularly ones from the so-called "Aegean" Macedonia. Rhodope region and Black Sea Bulgarians may also be part of this cline with Aegean Slavic peoples. Serbs are not.

It's a cherry picked result from what they call "Aegean Macedonians" in northern Greece who are genetically closer to Greeks than to themselves. in most of results I have seen not only the original "newmacs" are closer to Bulgarians, but they are distant from Greek Macedonians, let alone "Greek_peloponnisos" is not even close to them

As for the gap it depends, but yes in most of pcas it exists

[Aspar]

Is your result typical for Macedonians? I'm surprised you're so close to Greeks.

I think it's quite typical.

I've seen results who are closer to Greeks, and others who are closer to Bulgarians and Romanians.

I've never seen a result that gets close to Serbs though...

I don't think it's cherry picked. He got not one, but two Greek groups as his closest match (after Macedonian).

But if you check results from their own country, with zero ancestors from their minority in Greek Macedonia, they are always closer to Bulgaria and Romania

I can even mention a Greek from thessaloniki who scored Bulgaria and Romania in the first results, just because of his grandfather being from fyrom

[MegaArgus1]

New Macedonians must trace their roots to Old Macedonians, Old Slavs, Old Bulgarians, Old Romanians and Old Greeks.

[Crn Volk]

Yes

[Jana]

Yes, they do.

[catgeorge]

Nope I have nothing to do with these Tatar- Slav Avar Bulgars.
