are modern day romanians descendants of dacians???

[War Chef]

You guys are terrible at this. Dacians were remnants of Cucuteni-Tryptillian Neolithic farmers who were Indo-europeanized, so they would've been of near-eastern Anatolian type mostly.

Most Dacians, judging by statues, had very strong CM influence, plus some minor Dinaric (today Romanians are much more Dinaroids). Southern looking individuals between them I din't seen, except these ones:

Everyone had CM influence back then. Low-calorie diet made people look almost skeletal. You can even see photos of people in 1800's and they will have a similar gaunt look.

Dacians were more Borreby than CM in Roman statues, with robust bodies, clear indication of high protein intake, so lots of meat in their diet.

Cucuteni-Tryptillian culture was pre-Indo-European. Some of its descendends were probably absorbed by the Indo-European Dacians, but we cannot estimate the exact mixture.

yes!! without a doubt!!!

To some degree but it would depend on the Romanian. The more "Paleo-Balkan" Romanians with less Slavic admixture are probably closer to Dacians.

Blondie;6118476]There were many other ethnicity in present day romania: scythians, alans, sarmatians, bulgars, magyars, cumans, slavs, goths, vandals, latins, huns, ottomans, tatars, greeks, neolithic europeans, mesolithis europeans and yes dacians too, romanians are descedants of these peoples. Romania is one of the most mixed area in the world along with central europe or balkans:

dont forget there was also Cumans

[grecoroman]

Romanians are mostly Dacians.

LMAO at people guessing the ancestry of Dacians by statues. That's on the level of how some people claimed that ancient Greeks and Romans were Northwest Europeans based on statues, and we all know how they turned out to be genetically.
