Moldovan/Romanian GEDmatch Resuts

[Leto]

I bet the exact same data was used for all E-genes runs. And if they are the basis for the Moldovan reference, obviously the results will be severely skewed.

All Romanians have DNA like Bosniensis.

Entire Romania has similar DNA to me...

But you don’t look Romanian and are not related to Romanians . It’s not gedmatch components that count but IBD sharing among people

Why do you think he can't pass?

I can tell he is South Slav from a plane. Romanians just look different from us. You have to remember we descend from a close knit tribe from early Middle Ages with same ydna bottlenecks. This bottleneck effect can be seen in Bosnia specifically

he already is honorary Romanian for all the struggle IBD matters most, of course. but most people in the region would pass in the neighbouring countriesm since the gradient of looks is not abruptly ending/diminishing at the border, it crosses the borders. of course, such long faces are really uncommon in Romanians. Romanians are short-faced (small eyes-to-mouth distance and high % of the face width from this distance).

A few people here said Bosniaks look distinctly Muslim even though they're autosomally almsot the same as their Christian neighbors.

How different are Romanians from Italians? Do they frequently pass as Italianos in Italy? I know mamaliga is basically the same as polenta
Румыны - мамалыжники.

no, they almost never pass as Italians. but it's also the clothing style maybe that makes Romanians so obviously non-Western. you rarely get the chance to guess a Romanian by the face because you usually instantly already guess him by the clothes/style

Lot of Romanians I saw in Transylvania looked Italian or Greek to me. They were visibly more Mddish/southern Euro looking than people in Croatia taken as a whole.
Similar stature too (quite short and thin). But, there was minority of types that would look very off in Italy, those with Russian/Baltid or Tatar like look.
