A b s t r a c t:
The Balkan Peninsula is a complex cultural mosaic comprising
populations speaking languages from several branches of the
Indo-European family and Altaic, as well as culturally-defined
minorities such as the Aromuns who speak a Romance language. The
current cultural and linguistic landscape is a palimpsest in which
different peoples have contributed their cultures in a historical
succession. We have sought to find any evidence of genetic
stratification related to those cultural layers by typing both mtDNA
and Y chromosomes, in Albanians, Romanians, Macedonians, Greeks, and
five Aromun populations. We have paid special attention to the
Aromuns, and sought to test genetically various hypotheses on their
origins. MtDNA and Y-chromosome haplogroup frequencies in the Balkans
were found to be similar to those elsewhere in Europe. MtDNA sequences
and Y-chromosome STR haplotypes revealed decreased variation in some
Aromun populations. Variation within Aromun populations was the
primary source of genetic differentiation. Y-chromosome haplotypes
tended to be shared across Aromuns, but not across non-Aromun
populations. These results point to a possible common origin of the
Aromuns, with drift acting to differentiate the separate Aromun
communities. The homogeneity of Balkan populations prevented testing
for the origin of the Aromuns, although a significant Roman
contribution can be ruled out.

Deci toti santem corcodei ;-) "Scaningul" genetic e valabil, dar
imatur. Ca sa functioneze perfect, trebuie sa existe o biblioteca de
informatie genetica a protopopulatiilor respective. Nu este asa ceva si
se bajbaie.... deocamdata pana mai ievolueaza lucrurile.

In cazul populatiei romanice balcanice, banuiesc ca este valabila
constatarea "shit happens"; unii imparati bizantini mai preocupati de
cursele de cai decat de administratie in timpuri grele care nu iertau
(navalirile liftelor... ) si stricaciunile acestora au creat vidul de
populatie in care s-au cuibarit slavii, etc.
Daca e sa ducem paralela la Potomak, cu adaosul de culoare locala si
temporala, e mai degraba perioada trecerii de la republica la imperiu.
Asistam la nasterea unei aristocratii politice americane....
