In ancient human remains, the oldest J2a was found in the Mesolithic period in northern Iran and another in the Caucasus region in the same period. In Europe, the highest percentage is reached in Greece, especially in the Mediterranean islands, and then in Italy. It is a haplogroup with branches dating back to the Mesolithic era and as a result, each of the J2a branches usually has a different history from the others, so every branch should be investigated individually. However, some branches must have moved to the Balkans and Europe starting from the Neolithic period (as farmers), while another part during the Copper and Bronze Ages, mainly from the direction of Anatolia and the Eastern Mediterranean (although some lineages may have moved later). As seen in the map below, most of our haplotypes fall into the J2a-M67 branch. Some other haplotypes are in the branch J2a-L25, where in the area of Himara, and in a member from Gjirokastra, a special subgroup is noticed with the characteristic value, DYS454 12.as
J2a-M410, a haplogroup which is rare among Albanians but within a European context peaks in neighboring Greece, makes a special cluster in the broader subregion of Himara and Gjirokastër.The project has 6 samples from Labëria in total - 4 of them in Himara and they are part of a cluster ( J-F3133) which is not near J2a in Greece/Italy and even Europe. If this was a paper, it would fail sampling methodology. But the authors don't claim that it's a paper which can be cited in the context of an encyclopedia. It's a directory of raw data, which was transferred in a very bad way in wikipedia. Thank you.-- Maleschreiber ( talk) 12:48, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
During the Imperial period (n - 48 individuals), the most prominent trend is an ancestry shift toward the eastern Mediterranean and with very few individuals of primarily western European ancestry (Fig. 3C). The distribution of Imperial Romans in PCA largely overlaps with modern Mediterranean and Near Eastern populations, such as Greek, Maltese, Cypriot, and Syrian (Figs. 2A and 3C).
Instead, two-thirds of Imperial individuals (31 out of 48) belong to two major clusters (C5 and C6) that overlap in PCA with central and eastern Mediterranean populations, such as those from southern and central Italy, Greece, Cyprus, and Malta (Fig. 4B).
Population expansions during the Middle Ages, for instance those related to the Slavic migrations, could have affected Albania and Continental Greece at least indirectly as a result of subsequent population contacts. We may therefore hypothesize that present-day mainland Greek and Southern Balkan populations detached from a genetic background originally shared with the ‘Mediterranean genetic continuum’ (i.e. Southern Italy and the Mediterranean Greek-islands) after these recent events which interested the Balkan Peninsula in historical times.
Okay, yes, we love this name too, but isn't it actually Asllani in Albanian? Or was his name actually "Aslan"? -- Calthinus ( talk) 20:08, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
