Genetic structure of the Balkan nations.

Interesting stuff, I'm surprised at the noticable percentages of Celtic and Phoenician blood, how did that get there?

Maybe this will make some people consider the nasty ethnic nationalism that goes on there. Then again, these things seems best left to die natural deaths.

Yeah. So what's the DYS-marker for nationalists? We could use it to isolate all of the world's nationalists and put them in a reservation.

No wait, that would be ethnic cleansing.

Because I found something much more offensive in Herod: the truth.

And dontcha tell me it doesn't hurt. Ouch! Ow!

By Phoenicians do they mean Jews

??

Well, they are Semites, and there is no way that there is a lack of a significant Jewish population in the Balkans. After all, there is a bit of Jews in every European country, whether pure-blooded or mixed.

Genetic structure of the people of the Balkan nations:
100% Human

I never would have suspected anything different.

I'd be interested to know how they came up with the ancient Macedonian stuff...

I'm not surprised by Celtic, Celts penetrated relatively deep in the Balkans before they were driven out by Romans. Modern day Belgrade was actually founded by the Celts and named Sindidun and renamed Singidunum by the Romans later...

Phoenicians, I don't know, I guess as a seafaring nation they got to spread their genes around. Just a note, research for Serbia includes Montenegro, since samples were taken when Serbia and Montenegro were still one country.
