I'm Serbian diaspora and had an argument with one of my friends about this, he maintains that we're descended mostly from Slavic tribes (the Sclaveni) who moved south into the Balkans, I believe we're descended from pre-Slavic Balkan tribes who were slavicised. I think Dacians and Thracians are probably the primary ancestors of Serbs, along with maybe Illyrian tribes. My friend is getting into Rodnovery and I think it's retarded.
It depends if you're talking genetic or cultural/ethnic descent. Genetically we mostly come from the old natives, like most people anywhere. Ethnically we're as Slavic as it gets.
Rodnovery is retarded either way tho.
Thomas Rivera
Native Balkanic mixed with Greco-Anatolian or whatever the fuck the Turks brought there. Poles are probably the purest Slavs and Serbs look nothing like them.
Eli Cooper
>Who are the ancestors of the modern Serbs?
The Turks.
Jace Lewis
Turks brought nothing here, nor did Turks (especially not real, original Turks, a Central Asian group) settle in relevant numbers. Serbs look the same we looked 1000 years ago. Same for everyone else in Balkans. Greeks might look a bit ''whiter'' because of Slavic migrations, but that's it. We probably migrated from what is now Eastern Germany (where you still have Sorbs, who are probably descendants of tribe which remained). We are mostly native with some Slavic admixture.
Brandon Edwards
>Rodnovery is retarded either way I agree. I'm not personally religious either way
I did mean genetic though, as pagans tend to claim that their faith is ethnic in a genetic sense. We aren't like Russians, we were probably just slavicised.
This but I maintain that the Turks didn't leave any genetic leftovers on the Serbian people. The genetic flow went the other way, when Serbs married Turks they married INTO Turkish culture and while modern Turks might have some Serb ancestry the amount of Turkish blood that went the other way is probably negligible

Also I'm fucking tired of this retarded autistic meme where people base their opinions on outliers and cherry-picked pictures. Some Balkan people are very swarthy, some look like Scandinavians, but overwhelming majority are something in between, and look totally European. Also people fucking tan, you know. I'm pale as fuck and blue-eyed but I get mild tan in summer (if I don't burn). A bit swarthier people tan better. Girls go to tanning saloons and shit. >The genetic flow went the other way Exactly, especially in 19th century when millions of Muslims (who were converted natives) escaped to Anatolia, which at those times had a population of several million people. It's Turks whose genetics changed, because they were a small group which increased its numbers by assimilation, not the genetics of conquered people. That's just autistic fantasy of retards who don't know shit about history.

On average, I can definitely spot out the odd serb out of a group of slovenians, imagine the difference to europeans even further north...
Owen Sanchez
No you can't, and I lived quite some time in Ljubljana, and traveled a lot thought Europe. You're imagining things. Most of Serbs and Balkanites in general look like average Europeans. We're less swarthy than Italians or Spaniards in my experience.
Connor Moore
I know for a fact that I could pass in northern Europe because I live in Canada and people just assume I'm a normal Anglo-Canadian unless I tell them otherwise. My sister is more swarthy and has been mistaken for Greek or southern Italian but I have blue eyes, pale skin and medium brown hair with streaks of blond

Reminder that we conquered your shithole with 800 men. You're our rapebabies.
Easton Davis
It's funny because you're the one descended from rapebabies And you're not even a Turk. Your ancestors were probably Anatolian natives, Arabs, Iranic people, various types of Balkan people and god knows what else. Turks are a mixed bag of raped people and various mixed races

Don't feed the Turk.

I had more of the tall, black haired, pale and with dark circles around the eyes type in mind, rather than swarthiness as one would imagine in an albanian.

My ancestors were Turkmens and Hellenized Anatolians. Your ancestors are our soldiers and balkan native women who had been raped by Slavic men before.
Know your place, subhuman rapebaby. I'm Turk, i'm superior to you. You're nothing but a retarded cannon fodder rapebaby. And do not get into genetic discussion with me. Average IQ in your country is 80. I can easily wreck you. Understood rapebaby?
Eli Flores
Albanians look just like everyone in Balkans. As I said, you're imagining things. People in Kosovo are swarthy, but that's because they have a lot of gypsy blood.
Carter Smith
Idk but for some reason pretty much every culture that has old roots uses coins as adornment, that's like a common theme between plenty of old cultures.
Jayden Morris
Serbs are a mix of Natives Illyrians(I2) and Afroasiatic Thracian warriors(E1b1b) with a little admixture of Indo-European oppressors(R1a).
Note that, the non-white blood of the Balkanites(E1b1b) is what make them tribal and based;
Kayden Bell
Original Serbs aka Sorbs were R1a-M458, same with White Croats.
Justin Watson
>HURR DURR HAPLOS cringe
Brandon Butler
This desu. Thracians weren't "Afroasiatic", they were Indo-European. The E1b1b is from Neolithic farmers

A lot of these pictures were Russian propaganda to convince Balkanites to fight the Turks, because it benefited the Russians.

Dude, most of the military and political elite of the Ottoman Empire came from Balkan peoples. Even the Sultans were often mixed with Balkan mothers.
Hudson Davis
This. Albanians and Greeks have very little I2.
Mason Allen
>ask about serbs' ancestors >answer using Patrilineal DNA >get butthurt
You should be thankful. If you were 40-70% R1x like Northern-Europeans you would be welcoming refugees and beg them to impregnate your women.
All men carrying E1b1b are the sons of Shem(God-King of Natufia). Thracians were IEcized Shemites.
William Morgan
I2 is native in Europe you mongrel.
Albanians are not even European.
Ayden Mitchell
True, they are Balkan. Europeans don't really have J2 like Serbs/Albanians/Sicilians.
Isaiah Rodriguez
>Dude, most of the military and political elite of the Ottoman Empire came from Balkan peoples
There were 296 Ottoman Grand Viziers
133 of them were Turkish 20 of them were Northern Caucasians 44 of them were Albanians
only 3 were Armenian, 9 were Greek, 1 was Bulgarian 5 were Serb 4 were Bosniak and 2 were Croatian
there was no "Balkan Elite", rapebaby.
Wyatt Lee
Keep dreaming Azem.
Grayson Carter
I2a-Din are pre-Indo-Europeans who migrated to Ukraine and then back-migrated to the Balkans with the Slavs. Most of Europe was I before Indo-Europeans arrived. It's a mistake to assume that the hordes of Slavs carried only a single haplogroup when Eastern Europe at the time was a big mixing pot of Slavs, Iranics, Turkics, Germanics and whatnot.
Why else would the same subtype of I2 that is present in the Balkans also be present in Ukraine? Illyrians certainly didn't migrate up there. The Slavic hypothesis is much more convincing than L621 being Illyrian. I don't think you'll find any Illyrian skeletons with it. Illyrian were probably mostly E-V13 and J2 and maybe some other type of I, but not the one currently present in high numbers ex-Yugoslavia.

Aaron Reyes
There's genetic continuity with the pre Slavic elements everywhere in the Balkans, just get a genetic test to find out. Either way ethnogenesis doesn't work that like that anyway, you're no more or no less serb if you have a paternal haplogroup dating back to the pre slav invasion.
Michael Gutierrez
Serbs have 30% Middle Eastern Y-DNA The I2 in Serbia comes from Ukraine
Ethan Smith
balkan slavs are mutts, they are the only slavs that were pathetic enough to fall to turks
Liam White
They're not really mutts, they've been unchanged for thousands of years. They're paleo-Europeans.
Aaron Ross
There is slavic settlements around Balkans dated to 2nd century AD. You're obviosly an Albo or a Turk, but thats basically the same.
Joshua Ross
Some Serbs migrating to Ukraine is far more plausible than I2a being Slavic.
Isaiah James
>slavic settlements around Balkans dated to 2nd century AD Which and where? And how would that be relevant to the discussion? >You're obviosly an Albo or a Turk Leave these infantile non-arguments elsewhere.
No record of such an event. Plus, the L621 is too young to be Illyrian.
Landon Hernandez
What proof do you have for a back migration? Wishful thinking desu, there is a large genetic continuity in the Balkans from the pre Slavic population and you're just going to have to come to terms with it.
Daniel Diaz
No record of this I2a migration from Ukraine either.
Brody Jones
>le Illyrians were the only people in the Balkans maymay
Ryder Scott
Impossible since it's found in parts of Russia where Middle Eastern and African Y-DNA is unknown so no Serbs ever settled there.
Carter Edwards
It's wishful thinking and stereotyping on your side. I'm only interested in what's true.
There is plenty of record on the Slavic migrations into the Balkans. There is no record of a mass migration of Serbs into Ukraine.
What is your point?
Samuel Brooks
migrating slavs settled in illyria, so illyrian and slav i dont know the actual genetics of the serbs but i imagine theyre more illyrian than slav, as most migrators just spread their language, not so much their genes.
Benjamin Reyes
You are a turkic-gypsie cross-breed.
Jackson Long
On genetic maps they are about 50-50
John Long
>There is plenty of record on the Slavic migrations into the Balkans. And literally no record of this migration ever being I2a. The Sorbs which are supposed to be the progenitors of the Serbs living in modern Germany are overwhelmingly R1a1a.
Adam Foster

There is only one, written by Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos. Entire slavic migration is based on this one document. That is very suscpicious.
Zachary Bennett
I pray to the Illyrian pantheon everyday, one day me and my friends are going to start pirating Italian shipping in the Adriatic Sea I swear...
Owen Morgan
Slavs (Nordics) and inferior swarthy races (dinaroid, alpinoid, m*Doid)
Nathan Nguyen
Founder effect is the most fundamental principle in population genetics. We are not surprised that Sorbs and Serbs differ in Y-DNA frequencies(but not necessarily subclades) but we expect it. Some men in the 1st millenium have millions of direct descendants alive today while others didn't even have 1 son.
Lucas Rivera
Did the slavs in the seventh century migrate with their women? What does the mtdna for Serbs look like?
Parker Martinez
>seventh century What's up with that meme?
Jace Williams
I think Serbs are darker than most balkan people, and a lot of them have strikingly asian facial features. Also, the regions where Serbs settled were not inhabited by Illyrians. Illyrian DNA is among Croats, Montegrenians, and Albanians, so more the coastal regions. More inlands the land was much less densely populated, so I dont think Serbs got a lot of illyrian DNA.
Connor Long
Serbs and Croats arriving to the balkans in the seventh century and Christianizing is literally their finding mythos as a people.
Thomas Perry
We known that I2 L621 has a significant presence in Ukraine and tracking the mutations and migrations of haplogroup I and its subtypes seems to correlate with the Slavic migrations. Also, L621 is present in the parts of the Balkan populated by Croats and Serbs yet it is less present in other Illyrian territories, including the most dense one which is northern Albania. There is also no trace of it in South Italy even though Illyrians had a significant presence there on the Northern coast.
>Sorbs which are supposed to be the progenitors of the Serbs That theory was abandoned quite a while ago.
Are you seriously denying the Slavic migrations?
Brayden Carter
Zarubintsy was most likely R1a + l2. It would explain why Slavic countries have some l2 in them.
Nolan Morgan
There is literally not a single story about the Slavs migrating from Ukraine straight into Serbia.

Sure, there were survivors. The Middle Easterners never settled beyond eastern Poland. That's where Slavic I2 survived.

Evan Adams
Great input. t. Silesian
Carter Jackson
The pictures suit you.
Josiah Bailey
It's native yes. R1 came with Indo-Europeans yes. But the most likely scenario is ice melting and haplogroup I repopulating Europe. Part of them reach Ukraine. Indo-Euros arrive and both R1a and I2 had a role in the ethnogenesis of proto-Slavs.
Brody Ortiz

Xavier Hughes
If the Balkans are "Slavic" how come they look so different from actual Slavs? This entire thread is fucking surreal, it's like an Anglo-Saxon travelling to Kenya and being told the niggers who live there are the same people as him because they speak a similar language.
Angel Campbell
Ever seen a mixed breed in Czechia with a Gypsy/Turkish/Italian/Arab parent? Same thing. They don't look Czech but they are half just like Balkan Slavs are half.

Ian Evans
Yes, thats the irony. I dont buy it. Put yourself in that situation, and think about it, what would you do.
Justin White
And here an excerpt from John of Ephesus:
“(…) In third year after the death of Emperor Justin, during the reign of victorious Tiberius, the damned nation of the Slavs has risen, and marching through entire Hellas, through lands of Thessaly and Thrace, captured many cities and strongholds, plundered, burned and robbed, seized the land and settled there with full ease, without fear, like in their own land. (…) they were plundering the country, burning it and robbing, as far as the Great Walls [of Constantinople], and this is how they captured many thousands of cattle, as well as many other kinds of booty. (…) Until today, that is until year 584, they still continue to live in peace in lands of the Rhomaioi, without fear and concern, plundering, enslaving and burning, getting rich and highjacking gold and silver, capturing horses and plenty of weapons; and they have learned to fight better than the Rhomaioi. (…)”
Nathaniel Taylor
>Ever seen a mixed breed in Czechia with a Gypsy/Turkish/Italian/Arab parent? No I haven't, because people here don't mongrelize their ethnicity down to decimal points of percentage like Balkanoids do.

>Slavs are a tribe of ruddy complexion and fair hair. - Al-Baladhuri >Slavs are a numerous nation, fair-haired and of ruddy [pink] complexion. - Ibn Al-Kalbi > Among Slavs, abominable and ugly are their smoothness of hair and delicateness, as well as blond or ruddy colour of their hair and beards, and also whiteness of their eyelashes - Al-Gahiz >Nay further, they do not differ at all from one another in appearance. For they are all exceptionally tall and stalwart men, while their bodies and hair are neither very fair or very blonde, nor indeed do they incline entirely to the dark type, but they are slightly ruddy in color. - Procopius Old sources describe Slavs as "ruddy". Do you know what ruddy means? It doesn't mean looking like a Turk.
