Ancient Balkans & Southeast Europe Ancestry Report

Explore your genetic connections to the ancient peoples of the Balkans and Southeast Europe. This specialized report uses Oracle-based K15 genetic distance analysis with UMAP clustering and Monte Carlo simulations to measure your affinity to ancient populations from the region, including Lepenski Vir Mesolithic foragers, Vinca and Starcevo Neolithic farmers, Varna Chalcolithic goldsmiths, Mycenaean and Minoan Bronze Age civilizations, Classical Greek city-states and Dacian/Thracian/Illyrian Iron Age kingdoms, Hellenistic and Roman provincial cultures, and Byzantine/Slavic Medieval empires. Unlike the Ancient Italy report (focused on the Italian peninsula) or the Celtic report (focused on Western/Northern Celtic cultures), this report covers the eastern Mediterranean and Danube basin civilizations that shaped Southeast European history across seven cultural periods spanning 12,000 years.
