South Slavic & neighbours gedmatch results - vol.2

You won't get access to personal details, but you can grab what I've posted above in my threads and work on them.

I don't care about personal details, but I need a proper rural/urban label for each sample.

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.

it doesn't matter how wide the Paleo-Balkan cluster gets. After the impact of the Roman Empire, there were no pure paleo-Balkanians anymore.
for example, here is the demographic history of just one of the Roman Provinces. (i don't mean the haplogroups, scroll down.)

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.

could you send me the individual Romanian, Moldovan and Bulgarian samples for this PCA?

paleo-Balkan is used very liberally here (and everywhere), it can range right up to the Slavic migrations. If it's used this way then paleo-Balkan includes the Roman influence.

ok, then we agree. the paleo-Balkan samples i used on this pca are what i believe to be the typical pre-Roman Balkan samples.

after removing 6 outliers from the 530 Romanians and Moldovans:


I tried to divide Romania into 3 traditional regions, but they occupy the same range on the plot. that's why i used just one big "Romanian/Moldovan" cluster.

Who is Romania/Moldova? The big grey cluster?

yes.

You could try and split Romania and Republic of Moldova in their own clusters, but I think they will be similar, because of the Stefan Voda outliers on one end and Suceava on the other.
