Genetic evidence seems to suggest some truth to the myth of the Aenid- the tradition that Aeneas, Dardanian prince of Trojan stock, reached Italy, defeated the italics in war and settled in Rome. Patrician families like Julius Caesar claimed ancestry from the ancient noble Trojan houses. Some elite republican Roman samples have Eastern Aegean ancestry- though not all elites had it. The origins of Rome coming from Troy, a bronze age Anatolian power seem to carry some merit. According to Greek mythology, the origins of the house of Priam and Dardania itself are Cretans (Minoan and Mycenaean Aegean people's who's closest modern population are modern Aegean Islanders).
>>18126248This is in keeping with the great ANF migrations to the West more broadly, as well. This would be considered "Old European" stock, which then mixed with the various local PIE invaders to from the Celts and Germanics to the North.
>>18126248>Some elite republican Roman samples have Eastern Aegean ancestry- though not all elites had itWhere are these elites then?
>>18126248>>Some elite republican Roman samples have Eastern Aegean ancestrythose two samples are not "elite", we have no informations about their social status
>>18126248The wignats/chuds will keep pretending those samples don't exist just so they can say the Romans were 'replaced' even though that type of ancestry is male-mediated and every Roman that conquered snownigger shitholes was East Med-like.

>>18126248>Genetic evidence seems to suggest some truth to the myth of the Aenid- the tradition that Aeneas, Dardanian prince of Trojan stock, reached Italy, defeated the italics in war and settled in Rome.Not only that - while he went there through the sea, Antenor also took some Trojans with himself. They were going by land, close to the Adriatic coast and traveled to northern Italy. Why do you think the Friulians show such high levels of Greek admixture?
>>18127731seethe you fucking kike.
if those samples were nordic they would be spammed all the time, why can't timmies be consistent?>>18128631g25 is shit and you should kys yourself
>>18128631Never knew of that migration. But the original Roman nucleus is said to have been extremely small. Which is why incorporation was such a reality throughout all periods of Rome.
>>18128690>kys yourselfSaid the retard.
>>18126595No, no. It’s more that wignats have a very limited understanding and grasp of genetics and history; not retard-tier but not intelligent either. They correctly understand that the Romans were some special genetic population, but they don’t understand the big picture and instead solely attribute it to the preponderance of light skin and eye pigmentation. It’s grug-tier understanding but not a retard-tier understanding.It’s also not their fault: most internet amateur geneticists are jeets and other assorted retards who don’t get what they are talking about, and they pollute the well of internet knowledge on this topic, which the wignats drink their info out of.The Romans were a special breed created by the fusion of various different elements, which came together and created a good stock of people. Obviously keeping that delicate balance forever over millenia would have been a fool’s errand- it would never have been possible- but the Ancients were not wrong when they associated the change and degradation of that founding stock with the collapse and decline of their society.
rome republican period is undersampled, anyone claiming the opposite is a fucking retard with an agenda. I refuse to believe they remained spanish like after integratin magna graecia
>>18128725During their time, Spain was more genetically distinct from the Romans. They had much more WHG. Only after later migrations (mostly from Italy) modern Spaniards came closer to Republican Rome.
>>18128711Another piece of information that fits it is the lowering of WHG levels inn orthern Italy, compared to the Italics and Etruscans. It couldn't have been northern Euros, because their levels of it were (still are) even higher. The Greeks fit in perfectly, since they don't have any WHG at all.
>>18128725Yes, in fact there's only one sample from the Republican period in that "IA_Republic" average and it's possibly a Gaul. Should've been marked as outlier as well, because it's significantly closer to Celts than other samples.
>>18126248>dardanianRegional kingdom right beside Troy and Iron Age kingdom in ancient Kosovo. Both of Illyrian-Dorian origin. Early Iron AGE Roman sample have Balkan Illyrian YDNA. It’s all being proven bit by bit.
>>18128725latins are sampled, that's more than enough, their profile was west med>>18129186>Yes, in fact there's only one sample from the Republican period in that "IA_Republic" average >latins frum tarquinia and the rest of latium don't count if they're not literally in rome>and it's possibly a Gaul>this sample that plot from southwest french and iberians like any other latin is gaul cause... it just is
