Slavic Migration Theory - 'The Evidence'

I just hope the facts are strong, I just want to know the truth nothing political here.

The Moors and Carthaginians in Sicily were Northern African not like Levantines.

Would you be able to elaborate a bit on the notion of Serb-like Slavs migrating to mainland Greece?



According to Radoslav Katicic, it can be shown on the basis of toponomastic material that the Slavs came in direct contact with the Thracians who still spoke their language (Plovdiv, from Thracian Pulpudeva) -- Ancient Languages of the Balkans, page 136, R. Katicic

Serbs fall intermediate between Thracians and Northern Slavs but they lean Slavic by 5% to 10%.

Also Bronze Age Hungarians were Albanian-like and Dacians were closer to Thracians genetically. So not necessarily Slavised Thracians.

In Croatia and Slovenia a large population replacement happened. How long did it take Slavs from Ukraine to reach Greece? 100 years? Surely they were at least somewhat different.

Not, according to this

They don't have ancient Thracian DNA samples.
The (1) Thracian sample we have is very close to ancient Ionians. It is like a Sardinian shifted Sicilian.




Northern Illyrians were like Northern Italians.

Debates over "Serb-like Slavs" just sounds superficial and therefore ultimately pointless

tchaiku,
what does the first map mean?
Also, did you just write we have one (1) Thracian sample?

The map shows the genetic affinity that modern population have with the Thracian in terms of percantages. All humans are related to each other, some more, some less. So the northern regions score lower.

As for the Serb-like samples, those can be dated post-Christianization (of Slavs) period so it's not known for sure if the pagan Slavs in the southern Balkan were like that. The study will come out this or next year.

C.Greek in the second map, is a mixed mainlander-islander, not an actual central Greek, that's why they plot with Abruzzes.
