Some retain some Genetic markers from that of Celtic migrations.
But it is quite sad to see Galatia lose it's culture all those centuries ago.
i dont completely remember the story
some Greek elite called celtic mercenaries to overthrow someone
either they lost or they were given land
Probably the latter.
no i mean, they either lost and became subjects there or given land
That's what i meant.
Given land.
More than likely they didn't have enough money to pay the Mercanarys so they gave them land.
And honestly when it comes down to Celt's, Many tribes didn't aceapt payment in terms of money or wealth but in terms of land.
smart
On the other hand, Germanic/Slavic people's did not use that strategy. Being on average more war like than the Celtic peoples, Overtook the other people's with shear force of there migrations.
And on average Germanic/Slavic people's migrations lasted longer. Raiding and pillaging on average more than the later.
Poles, Ukrainians, Belorussians, and Russians are all genetically extremely similar and cluster very close on PCA charts. Czechs and Slovaks have some sort of pre-Slavic Celto-Germanic substratum, meanwhile the South Slavs are genetically the least Slavic. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4558026/
Mhm.
yeah that sounds exactly like what common sense would tell you
Within reality i wouldn't be remise to state that Poland has some the Highest R1A ratio's within the Slavic world.
50% when it comes to the main area within Poland such as Krakow-Lublin-Warsaw area.
"sorbs" always reads to me like some doge meme making fun of slavs
It’s either the Proto-Slavs replaced the Polish Iron Age population, or the Polish Iron Age population was genetically similar to the Proto-Slavs.
Genetically similar is the best explaination.
im about if anyone else is
be in general chat
Alright.
wti
I mean, Poland is close enough to the proto-slavic homeland that it probably doesn't make a difference either way
The Area which many Western Slavic nations sit were in reality empty. Minus some Germanic/Celtic tribes still lingering near by.
@Skeleton what are the genetics of south slavs then
Damn Turks...
*South Slavs almost got replaced by Tatars*.
I've heard the Suebi were routinely killing off ppl in modern Poland/eastern Europe turning it into a no man's land
So makes sense it was empty pre Huns
The Hun's had forced many out. Within reality Germanic people had fled those regions for almost a century by then.
Slav's merely seeing a mixture of weakness in the South and to the West pushed out.
*And do i mean pushed*.
@vexmasina44 South Slavs mostly descend from Bronze and Iron Age Balkan populations, but have some Proto-Slavic DNA. Slovenes are likely the most Slavic of the South Slavs, meanwhile Bulgars or Macedonians are the least Slavic.
*God Macedonians*
They are an intresting Gentic look at.
@Mr. Nessel someone sent me that sargoy vid
somewhat decent actually
