Some Thracians also found years ago clustered really South or really North and some just East of Tuscans. These people were clearly a mix of different populations so even by the Bronze Age or Iron Age such genes weren't fully diluted to produce Greek like or Albanian like people. Therefore I...

On the original paper it was concluded that the Illyrian / Bronze Age female sample found in Dalmatia was clustering closest to other Balkan people, She is the JAZ1 on this PCA Map. She was actually found many years ago. Other Ancient Balkan samples also appeared closer to Albanians and...

Yes. Anything is possible. If life happened here then why not somewhere else.

All populations are a mix. the population we came from was a mix of different people and the population of that population before that etc etc. Not sure about race but I read we migrated out of Africa later than thought and split into different routes and races later than thought.

Depends, I use both.

Not sure, either in my homeland or same country as now

I have the same but unsure of it's origins

Not an expert in this but at this point I doubt it was a Proto-Illyrian. Most likely came to Europe during the Neolithic or Bronze Age from the near east. Indo European languages in the Balkans were spread by people rich in R1b most likely. But anything is possible.

Most likely with Slavs I believe though there is clearly some I2a2 and other I2a from hunter gatherers that has been found

A lot of linguistic and cultural research support it to be Illyrian, somewhere north of the Jireck line in West / Central Balkans. There have been made some strong arguments against Thracian/Dacian origin by several historians. Albanian language does not match Thracian

The modern population matches for me seems weird.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
