South Slavic & neighbours gedmatch results - vol.2

Interesting how Balkanites cluster between Slavs and Romans and not between Slavs and Paleo Balkanites.

That's because we have very few paleo-Balkanite samples compared to Roman samples.

Also note that Romanians are the smallest cluster among Balkanites. This again shows sampling issues.

Serb from western Bosnia (Bosanska Krajina), surame Jotanović.

The West Asian is pretty low for the Balkans.

[ixulescu]

My mistake.
Still grey area is a bit smaller than pink, even we are almost double size in population than Croats.

It's interesting how both Serbian and Bulgarian clusters almost complete engulf the Romanian cluster. Romanians are like the intersection of Serbs and Bulgarians.

Not really, vbn obviously lacks Romanians from Northern Moldavia in that run. That would have pushed the cluster more to the left than the Serbian one.

Romanian cluster has huge sample size. But I agree we have few Paleo Balkan samples.

Quite similar as K13 of Serb from Ljubinje (Herzegovina) with suraname Tica.

I posted already Tica on other thread, here is for comparation.

Size is not enough, you have to sample all strata in the population to get the actual distribution.

Rural Romanian are not sampled almost at all, and half of Romanians are rural.

Most of my samples are rural, I just don't disclose the name of the villages.

how can that be, are Nelu and Ghiţă this concerned with genetic testing?


actually it would be interesting to have the rural/urban percentage split added to your averages

I don't know why you are surprised. A lot of people in Romania and Moldova would have had parents or grandparents who were raised in villages, while they were born in towns and cities.
