The Glasinac-Mati Complex (1300-200 B.C) Discovered independetly by Yugoslav and Albanian archeologists, G-M is the coalesced form of the people known as Illyrians by Greeks in classical antiquity. Zlot group was originally part of LBA Gava and later showed G-M similarities.

at the Harvard lightweight tournament, after the bell rang and Roosevelt’s opponent Hanks caught him in the nose anyway, the crowd went absolutely apeshit. Roosevelt threw up his arm to quiet them, said Hanks just hadn’t heard the bell, and shook his hand. Roosevelt was such a brawler that when Hanks asked if they should stop, he shook his head “like a terrier,” bared his teeth, and started swinging again.

One big problem regarding maps depicting human migrations is the assumed graduality and continuity. Authors depict the movements as slow, gradual, and constant, perhaps imagining people moving only a few kilometers each lifetime, in a gradual expansion that the people of the time likely barely even realised. In such an illustatration (left) it often looks like a blob that grows larger and larger in all directions with Geographic Continuity all the way. This is of course wrong, and not how humans migrated at all. Investigating settlement archaeology and c14 dating, Its clear that Humans migrated in controlled, conscious bursts, reaching entirely new areas within a single generation. Entire tribes of families set out into consciously chosen basins, valley or plateaus, reaching them within a single lifetime and ignoring the less fertile land on the way. From thereon, they would gradually move out into the less immediatly attractive land, with different tribes breaking off and forming new exclaves as the population grew, repeating the process. These migrations were often massive and happened in the span of a few generations, such as is evident with the Corded Ware migration, which saw its people reach the Baltics, Poland, Denmark, Germany and parts of Russia in just a hundred years, and from thereon, its descendant, the Bell Beakers, reached Brittain, France, Iberia and Italy in a hundred years or even less again in a seperate burst. (The maps below are illustrative and totally arent based on the Indo European migrations at all)

The diffusion of the 3 core Albanian Y-chr lineages. Map result was created by subtracting the non E-V13, R-M269 and J-L283 subclades. Credit to @AlbanianDNA for the Y-chr info

you just wouldn’t understand

Y-DNA of Mycenaeans, divided into Mainland and Crete.

Decided to combine the Yamnaya Core samples on AADR v66 and calculate proportions. the UNHG/N admixed samples are almost entirely under I-M233.

The Bektashi’s largest period of growth in Albania came under Ali Pasha Tepelena, who utilised the mystic order as spies and diplomats against the Porte.

At the peak of the Summer Offensive in 1998, the KLA had cut major roads across Kosovo and controlled 40 percent of the territory.

The Albanian race

This is also true autosomally. "EHG" from Samara, Karelia, Khvalynsk, etc are all related but have slightly different proportions of ANE, WHG, and CHG ancestry. WHG, on the other hand, are far more homogenous, with WHG in Wales and Germany being nearly the same 1/2

This app will make you sick of shitposters and ironyfags really fast, and give you a respect for excessively blunt autists who, if nothing else, are very earnest

In 279 B.C. the Dardanian king offered Keraunos 20,000 soldiers before the Gauls clashed with the Macedonians. His naive rejection cost him his life and allowed the Gauls to plunder Greece before returning northward. They were all destroyed by the Dardanians and not one returned.

Genetics circles are kind of funny because you often find people blaming the Fall of Rome and the state of Modern Italy on Italians becoming less like Spaniards Which is ironic given the typical opinion these people have on Spaniards

One of the biggest reasons for Hoxha’s break with the USSR was Khrushchev’s insistence that Albania abandon its programme of industrialisation and instead focus primarily on agriculture, supplying food to the rest of the Eastern Bloc.

Misha Glenny notes that Mussolini’s imperial ambitions were partly driven by humiliation. Italy’s army had been beaten in Ethiopia in 1896 and driven out of Vlorë in 1920 by, in his words, “a few thousand disorganized but fiercely patriotic Albanians.”
