Same families continuously living in the Balkan - Dinaric - Carpathian region?
Like any good investigation, we turn to the white coats for DNA analysis.
Well structured information about genetic composition of European countries can be found on eupedia.com. I really like their motto: "At Eupedia we consider that the knowledge of history is essential to understand the complex ethnic, cultural and linguistic patchwork of the modern world."
One Y DNA haplogroup is relevant for this discussion, namely I2 because, according to the same website:
"I2 is thought to have originated during the Late Paleolithic, around the time of the Last Glacial Maximum, some 22,000 years ago. The first scenario is that I2 originated in Europe. When the ice sheets started receding to the north from 20,000 to 12,000 years ago, the I2 hunter-gatherers re-expanded from their refugium".
Present day distribution of I2a subgroup is striking:
I present you Evidence #1
Male population in BDC region is related to the hunter-gatherers that were in this region 20 millennia ago. In the center of the Dinaric Alps, every second man has this Y DNA marker, while in the Southern Carpathian Mountains, one in four men has it.
