Being 66 per cent Southeastern European means I am a native of the Balkans. The map does highlight some rather interesting things. Likewise, Greek DNA mostly appears in Southern Italy, Greece, Albania, Cyprus, also other Balkan countries like FYROM, Bulgaria, and Western/North Turkey as well.

By comparing your genetic signature to the DNA of people from the Greek Italian region, AncestryDNA can give you a clearer picture of your ethnic origins. While we there may be differences between some of us, we are all equal. It includes Macedonia. MyHeritage DNA results are 55.7% Balkans, 31.6% Greek, 11.1% Baltic, 1.1% Ashkenazi. Now, Albania in ancient times was inhabited by Greeks to a great extent. So it seems that Albanians are indeed present on Balkans for a long time but as a mix of 4 different groups. The map above is only based on Y-DNA, thus only shows male common ancestors not female ones. Together with J2, Bronze age Greco-Anatolian, Mesopotamian and Caucasian, they contribute to 50% of their DNA material. The top level result, \"69.3% European and 28.6% Middle Eastern\" seemed right. They are defined by "Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms" (SNPs) called Snips. All Y-DNA Haplogroups ultimately descend from a single Y-DNA Chromosome carried by a male who lived in the … Greek and Italian Ethnicity Peninsulas in the Cradle of the Mediterranean. Discover more about your ethnicity with AncestryDNA. Then the chances are that some of your ancestors may come from the Balkan region. SNPs are accumulated along different lineages as Y-DNA Chromosomes are passed from father to son(s) over many generations. Y-DNA Haplogroups are the major branches of the Y-DNA Chromosome tree. Moreover, it should obviously not be used to imply that any country is better than any other. I had recently my DNA analyzed by 23andme and I received a report on my ancestry. My mother's family came from Bithynia (Western Asia Minor) that had a significant Greek presence since the time of the Trojan Wars (about 3,000 years ago) and my father's family came from Cappadocia, a region in Central Turkey that is closer to Syria than the Agean Sea… If my forebears had been part of a Slav migration then I should have a much higher percentage of Eastern European than 15 per cent. The other significant part goes to the mix of Celtic R1b and indigenous I2a2. The DNA testing firm says Southeastern Europe means the area that covers Italy, Greece and the Western Balkans from Bulgaria to Croatia. Well I have yet to see how the Aromanians, Epirotans or Albanians for that matter are autochthonous and the Macedonians or Bulgarians who are South Slavs are not! In other words, the mainland Greeks and southern Balkan peoples would at an earlier time also been part of what the team calls the "Mediterranean genetic continuum". That is because there was Greek DNA, or in any case DNA that is similar to that of the Greeks in Greece.

Because that was the reason why I've replied to you!

If you have referred to the genetic side, than I've shown you my results and I can show … It comes from Near East and North Africa. But their genetics were augmented with the Slavic component.
