Genetic structure of the Balkan nations.

[Sarmatian]

It seems that research by Igenea (genealogy research institute from Switzerland) is slap in the face to many nationalists in the Balkans. Many racial theories, held dear by some nationalists were proved wrong. For example, Albanians are definitely not descendants of the Illyrians, at least not more than some other Balkan nations. Reawakened descendants of Megas Alexandros (Macedonians, population of FYROM) have reasons to be pleased , they were actually proven to draw their roots from Ancient Macedonians. Igenea is supposedly one of the top European genealogy research institutes...

According to Igenea, the most mixed "Balkan" nation are Turks. Beside Turkish, they have Arabic, Slavic, Hellenic, Teutonic, Berber and various other genes... The most Slavic nation in terms of genes are Russians. Population of Germany, to my great surprise is not very much Teutonic, most of the genes are Celtic (45%), Teutonic (25%), Slavic (20%) and Jewish (10%)...

I'm not really trying to make any point with this. I just found the research interesting and though I'd share and discuss it here with you guys...
