I'm not inventing anything, I am reading what some "historians" have written. Would you say these people kidnapped by ottoman were Albanians instead of Serbs? - "Novo Brdo was the last Serbian town to remain standing during the first Ottoman invasion. In 1439 the capital of Smederevo fell and...

Would you say something like this was majority Albanian in 15th century? Rest of Macedonia was part of Bulgaria except maybe for a bit in north west being Serbian

I am basing it on historical battles and claims, south west Macedonia was Albanian in 1300s, it was after ottoman conquest in the region that these Albanians would have fled to Albania - "After the death of Stefan Dušan in 1355 and the collapse of the short-lived Serbian Empire, Andrea II...

I personally think north west Macedonia and maybe most of west Macedonia was inhabited by Albanians but most of Kosovo wasn't 600 years ago. We see with the battle of Kosovo in 1389 that majority of the army was Serbian and most of the Albanian support was from Berat (Theodor Muzaka). What then...

I think there are some Turks that are light looking, Turks are mixed/varied

I don't think they are Albanians, it's like Roma minority but much less numerous, there is a sample on Rrenjet from Kosovo under this line (also 1 in Gjirokaster even though Albania doesn't have Turkish minority) https://www.yfull.com/tree/N-VL67/

Maybe from descendents of these people that may have reached central Italy but unlikely to have stayed in great numbers, they had a bigger impact in north Italy -

Sea people's were potentially Urnfielders, they emerged at the time when Urnfield was taking over much of Europe and carried similar symbolisms -...

Dark eyes, dark hair, olive to light skin? -

I think Ydna does have a say in looks but not as much as autosomal. It depends on individual cases, some sons look almost exactly like their fathers, grandfathers etc. Some sons don't

You may say that j2a shouldn't be included however the MENA shift in south and central Italy must be somewhat linked to J2a as there isn't much J1 there. I am pretty sure that some of J2a in Albanians is Roman anatolian, not native. Maybe we could remove G2 (19 samples) which brings it down to...

Or it just means that the region was more Slavic in 1500AD but then later on a few more southern people moved in possibly fleeing from ottoman conquest (Albanians, Macedonians etc) or a bit of janissary input. Croats are slightly more Slavic than serbs and these samples are even more slavic than...

I listed above which ydna I didn't include in my calculations, the rest was about 15%. It is slightly skewed by Vlore samples which seem to have the most potential MENA

But the study is suggesting Albanians have much more MENA than south Slavs? Also south Slavs have less potential MENA ydna lines

On Rrenjet I counted 240/1618 ydna that potentially could have been been MENA which is almost 15% Didn't include any i2, i1, r1b (except for a couple which look non European), r1a, j2b l283, e-v13. In order to reach 40% MENA or even close to it some of these lines have to be Roman anatolian...

Yamnaya has pretty much just been r-z2103 so far. But if r-pf7562 isn't Yamnaya where did it come from?

Daunians are irrelevant to finding the origin, Maros is better but we need more samples from that period and earlier. We also need to see j2b l283 in the Steppe (caucasus) alongside r-z2103

Could j2b l283 be a CHG tribe that entered Europe through Anatolia and settled in western Balkans? Either alongside Yamnaya (r-z2103) or separate, if it was alongside we have yet to see them both together with ancient dna

We do know about Urnfield because many urns have been found and human ashes. Read this - https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10963-022-09164-0 Cremations among American Indians were rare and they didn't use urns - https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/wbna28312638

Brought it up because it's the latest study but it doesn't seem right. Did they explain if the CroatiaSerbia Roman anatolian samples were 100% anatolian, weren't they mixed with locals? For example if they were 50% anatolian, that makes Albanians 21.9% Roman anatolian and how much of that is...
