In this genetic study by Projekti Rrenjet we find that a majority of Albanians derive from Albanian lands from the Middle Ages and before the Romans, and not from Caucaus as Serbian and Greek propagandists claim.
Following are some of the most important conclusions of the article from “Projekti Rrenjet”:
- By general (autosomal) descent, Albanians are overwhelmingly descendants of the population of the Albanian lands of the Early Middle Ages, who were also the continuations of the population of the Bronze and Iron Ages. Therefore, during the period of invasions, the area of the Albanian lands remained a refuge where the pre-Roman population structure largely survived.
- Below, the PCA figures present the results of today’s Albanians in the same position as the medieval population and in close agreement with the pre-Roman one of the area.
- “Remarkably, 1,200 years later, the genetic profile of Albania_Medieval represents on average 80-90% of the ancestry of present-day Albanians, depending on the East European-related proxy used in qpAdm analyzes (Fig. 5)… …The results indicated that 68-84% of Albania_Medieval’s ancestry came from an Albania_BA_IA-related population”
