Albanians and Tuscans

[Ianus]

I don't think there is a connection between Etruscan and Albanian. It's a weird result.

[Trun]

According to my samples Tuscans overall are the closest match with sometimes Greek Mainlanders or Bulgarians being first.

It must have to do with the overall mixing of Northern Southern components me thinks.

This.

In Bulgaria, recently there is a lot of comments on the media about these genetic studies (where we are close to Northern Italians/Tuscans and Northern Greeks). They started to represent the fact as we are possibly some kind of Italians While in reality it is just the same scores in West and Southwest Asian and small differences in Northern and Med components.

Why is it that Albanians always cluster the closest to Tuscans on every admixture calculator there is? Some Albanians have even gotten 100% Tuscan from McDonald, f.e. My results are consistently either Tuscan or North Italian.

How would you explain this?

No you don't. You are closer to Mainland Greeks and other Balkan people. Dodecad/Eurogenes/MDLP aren't peer reviewed science.

Tuscans supposedly have highest neanderthal dna %

No Basque people have highest Neanderthal DNA as far as I know.

Estrucans !

This is not Neanderthal Admixture Neanderthals are Negroes.

Obviously I meant on those amateur admixture calculators. That they're made by amateurs (in the actual meaning of the term) doesn't mean it should be completely discredited. I could have specified "on x/y/z admixture calculators, but everyone except for you seem to have understood what I meant, Special One.

I have some Albanian friends. Generally on pigmentation they seem on pair with us, with some of them thought appearing maybe darker in a Greek sense of compared to the few unadmixed tuscans

What sometimes tell them apart is common face traits among them

They actually Don t cluster with us.. Because of the lack of Balkan Ian group sets in the genetic tests

Since this thread was opened 5 years ago it has become quite clear that it is simply a similar ratio of genetic components.
