This is the genetic origin of Albanians

Article collecting up until now
For years now, the advancement of biocomputer technology has enabled the use of genetic data for history research. Especially through the analysis of the Y chromosome, which is conveyed directly from father to son, without any genetic contribution from mother, any family or tribe can trace the origin of the fatherline, or, as is universally known, the space. The gathering of an expert genetics champion also allows for district or local research. So far, the results of 1322 members from all Albanian trains have been voluntarily collected in the Albanian DNA Project “From their comparison both with genetic analysis of ancient bones in the Balkans and Europe and with results from today's peoples, there are some conclusions that we are presenting in a succinct way below.

Meanwhile, we invite each Albanian family to conduct a genetic test of the Y chromosome and to participate in the project.

1. Statistical Summary

From the statistical balance of 1322 results, it turns out that about 10 more frequent sectors sum up about 94.6% of all Albanian fatherly lines. Approximately one quarter of the results belong to members from Kosovo, Macedonia and other Albanian trains outside the Republic of Albania. With the number of members increasing on these trends, especially in Kosovo, percentages can undergo slight changes, but must remain within the 95% security range. Below are the frequency of each group:

Percent Percent generation security 95%

E-V13 27.7% 25.2 ʹ 30.1%
R1b-M269 21.3% 19.1 HINA 23.5%
J2b-L283 15.3% 13.4 % 173%
I2a-Y3120 7.5% 6.0 ▪ 8.9%
R1a-M417 5.9% 4.7 HINA 7.2%
I1-M253 5.5% 4.2 HINA 6.7%
J2a-M410 4.3% 3.2 ) 5.4%
J1-M267 2.5% 1.6 HINA 3.3%
I2a-M223 2.5% 1.6 → 3.3%
G-M201 1.6% 0.9
E1b-M123 0.7% 0.3 forefathers

In summary, from the table we find that a small percentage of Albanian fathership lines (1-4%) are located and popular in the Balkans for more than 4,500 years mainly with the spread of agriculture, the majority of 72-77% spread about 2,500 to 4,000 years ago with the ancient Balkan tribes such as Illyrians, dardians, daks, etc. The last wave that has left significant genetic traces of which come 16-19% of Albanian fatherly lines reached about 1200-1800 years ago, during the period of influxs of German tribes, Slavics, etc.

2. History of Albanian Fatherlines

Beyond general statistics, each space has its own history and must be studied in depth to understand time and way of establishing and spreading. So below, we present one from a different arcological and historical period of importance to the meaning of the origin of Albanians.

2.1 Before the Bronz Age

It is thought that modern man arrived in Europe more than 30,000 years ago. Among the oldest fatherly lines found in Europe until the Mesolite period are the C, I, F, later I1, I2-P37, I2-M223, I2-L596, R1b-V2219, etc. Europeans of this period were nomads, mainly hunting peoples, hunting from one area to another. Although there are Albanians who carry some of the above-mentioned fatherly lines, they cannot be talked about their genetic continuation among the Albanian people today, as most of these lines have moved across Europe until they have managed to reseminate, in most cases from northern or eastern Europe, settling in the Balkans relatively late. The percentage of fathers of Albanians who have consistently lived in the Balkans since Mesolitis is below 0.5%.

Of the 7,000-9,000 earlier, peoples who had adopted agriculture in Levant began spreading towards the Balkans and Europe in general. This movement has long been observed in archaeology, but we have also learned that the fatherly lines that reached Europe during this time were mostly G, E, J1, J2, T, etc. The agricultural revolution, within a few years, drastically changed the genetic makeup of southern and central Europe, replacing the mesolitical father lines with new revenue from birth. Thus, the G-space is clearly dominant in all neopolitical findings in scientific studies in the Balkans, while other sectors found in the Balkans included specific branches of J2a, J1, etc. Today, the G-space is carried by less than 2% of Albanians, while other lines are clearly neopolitical. In the northern and eastern Tosseria, this percentage is slightly higher, but the space does not exceed 5%. Given the fact that part of these lines may have been placed even in later periods from different directions, we can certainly say that less than 4% of all the fatherly ancestors of Albanians were among the neolic peoples (so, pre-life) of today's Albanian soil.

2.2 From the Bronx Age to Antiques

After thousands of years of expansion of agriculture and father lines of the scattered peoples, the massive influxs of Indo-Europeans began as the Bronx Age began. In their localy at the Eurasian Stepa, this patriarchal social population was mainly involved in beekeeping, and had adopted the use of horses and later even chariots, and had gained high immunity to animal diseases and tolerance of lactose. From the Stepa area, Indo-Europeans spread in all directions, stretching over a few generations from Western Europe to China and India. The large language groups of modern - day Europe, such as the Latin - language group, those German, Slavic, and Celts, as well as Albanian and Greek, have common roots in the language that this people spoke. The arrival of Indo-Europeans in Central Europe and the Balkans is well-documented not only genetically, but also in archaeology.
Among the peoples of the Stepa moving westward during the Bronx Age, the main section was R1b-M269, while other sections included R1a-Z93, I2-M223. The expansion towards today's Albanian lands may not have been a uniform movement, but a series of shifts ranging from the Bronz Age follow up to the Antiquesia, assimilated and included other peoples in the influx. The main fatherly lines of Albanians who have been deployed in the Balkans since this period from the north and northeast are R1b-PF7562, J2b-L283, E-V13, R1b-CTS9219, I2-L701, etc.

R1 b-PF7562 and J2b-L283, in most of them, are located on today's Albanian soils from the Bronx Age. Over 3000 years old, both ancient findings and modern lines vary. J2b-L283 has also been found in Illyrian bones from the Iron Age of Brons and Irons in Dalmaci, Slovenia and Vojvodina, the Iron Age between the Mesape of Pulja, and the late Antique in Mozi and Dardan. In line with these findings, on the root Project database, it is noted that R1b-PF7562 of today's Albanians have been isolated for 3400-4000 years, and those of J2b-L283 for 3100-3600 years. Today R1b-PF7562 is in similar density (3-4%) on all Albanian soils, while J2b-L283 is much denser in the north (15-30% by zone) than in the south (7-10%). These two fatherly lines sum up about 20% Albanian fatherly lines.

For the birth lines E-V thirteen and R1b- CTS9219, the most likely location in the Western Balkans has started from the north, likely from the area between the European Alps and the Carpathians, beginning from the end of the Bronx Age to the Iron Age to the Antique. R-CTS9219 has been found on the border of the Roman-era Dardania, while nearby lines have also been found in Vojvodina by the Bronz Age. For this fatherly line, the panonical basin must have been the stop between Stepave and the Balkans. And E-V13 was a rare fatherly line that survived among the descendants of agricultural peoples that Indo-Europeans found in Central and Eastern Europe, but its expansion also began during the Bronx Age. Finding nearby lines in the northern Balkans and Hungary, and the mass presence of E-V13 itself in Mouzi and the border of Dardania in the late Roman period, and most rarely in the Celtic cultures of central Europe, also shows that the present-day Albanian lands must have reached mainly from the north-of-year-old. R-CTS9219 is found to be widespread with uniform density (14%) on Albanian soils, while E-V13 has many sub-shelfs, each with its own special distribution. Both today's Albanian subsets of R-CTS9219 and E-V thirteen have genetic connections of about 2,500,3500 years with fatherly lines outside the Balkans, mainly in Central Europe. So putting these two lines on today's land can be speculated about the end of the Bronx Age or the Iron Age. These two fatherly lines make up about 40-45% of all Albanian fatherly lines.

In addition to the above-mentioned lines, even I2-L701 subsides, R1b-L51, J2a-M410 and J1-M267 may have been located on today's Albanian soil between the Bronx Age and Antiques. In summary, with data so far, about 75% of all Albanian fatherly lines must have been in the central and western Balkans since then, including as part of the Illyrian tribes.

2.3 Late Antiquity and the Early Ages

With the weakening of the Roman Empire, various tribes from northern and eastern Europe began to penetrate the imperial border, regularly flooding into the Balkans. One of the most famous circles can be mentioned as those of glass, noses, vandals, avars, Slavs, and so forth. The ancient Balkan element managed to survive these floods, but also absorbed new flows, sometime less and more densely. A recent study of the genetic heritage of ancient Balkans and Slavic influxs estimates that Albanians and Greeks were affected by these movements less than Serbs, Bulgarians, Romanians and Croats.
The fatherly lines that joined in this period with those Balkan residents who survived the influx are I1-M253, R1a- CTS1211 of R1a-M458, I2a-Y3120, N-P189.2, etc. All of these consist of ancient finds by the Roman imperial period, and modern lines found among Albanians are usually connected by lines from northern and eastern Europe to about 1400-2000 years. I1-M253 is closer to the movements of German tribes, N-P189.2 to those of Eurasian peoples (savers, Magyars, etc.), and R1a- CTS1211, R1a-M458 and I2-Y3120 with Slavs. However, it is not ruled out that any particular R1a or I2-Y3120 submarines have moved with German tribes, or any I1-M253 tree with those Slavics. Today I1-M253 is the most concentrated on mountain trains such as Kurvelesi, Puka and the area between Matt and Mirdithe, while R1a-M417 and I2-Y3120 are most frequently located on the field trains. All these lines together make up about 16-19% of Albanian fathership lines today, among which some 3abi4 have reached Slavic tribes, while the rest mainly with German tribes.

2.4 Arberean Ethnogenes

After the passage of riots from the fall of the Roman Empire, successive barbarous influxs, and various epidemics, present-day Balkan peoples began to flourish during the early Middle Ages. The Arab people, who appear in documents from the XI century, managed to preserve a language that stems from ancient Balkan languages. Even on the genetic level, we note that the last centuries of Antiquesia were a difficult time for our ancestors, since most of our lines have crossed the botleneck (the revelation of fatherly lineage) during this time. Today's Albanians of all fatherly lines are, in all, descendants of that population contracted by origin in mainly paleo-Balkans and the heirs of an ancient language that survived the overthrows of the 3-7th century. In line with this remark, a 2013 study stresses that Albanians are the most homogenous people in Europe, and most come from common ancestors who made up a small but compact population about 1500 years ago.

3. End

In conclusion, it must be emphasized that the genetics of peoples is new and developing discipline, so this article will constantly expand and improve, both with the growth of the champion of today's Albanians and with the rise to the light of new results from ancient bones. On the other hand, the number of present and ancient results already allows us to safely sum up the descent of Albanian fatherly lines into three main groups: (1) a very limited minority, below 4%, which may be descendants of neolic peoples on the same soil as today; (2) an important minority, about 20%, coming from the tribes that settled between the centuries 3 and 7; and (3) the overwhelming majority, about 75%, from the ancient Balkan tribes that arrived between the Republic and the Antiques.
