I know there is already a decent amount of literature about Greek DNA, but none of it seems to explore the ethnic components of the Greek nation. Now I know from Cavali-Sforza and Barbujani that the Greek ethnic core appears to descend from ancient speakers of the Greek language, but to what extent? What is the extent of admixture? And I have another question - does anyone really know where the Greeks came from in the first place? Were they a neolithic people (J2) who assimilated paleolithic peoples (R1B) in the Greek peninsula? Thanks guys.

The Greek people declared their independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1821 - in practise they weren't a free people until 1830.

There isn't such a thing as greek dna.
Greeks are the amalgam of Turks, africans, ancient greeks and this goes on.....
Most greek dna they called are Turk dna.I think for example J2 is brought by Turks to Anatolia and Greece...

Why not?please tell me.
I meant they were genetically related to sub-sharans saying Africans. That's impossible they haven't mixed with Turks....

The percentage of Sub-Saharan African DNA in Greece is no greater than the average for Europe, and is therefore negligible. Greek DNA has influenced Turkey to a much greater extent than Turkish DNA has Greece - the Turkish language and culture are relative newcomers to Asia Minor. Before the Turks, these regions were inhabited by Greeks, Armenians, Anatolians, Phrygians, and other peoples of Eastern Rome. Greeks and Turks rarely intermarried - it did happen, but hardly enough to warrant consideration of a sizeable Turkish influence to the Greek gene pool. Most of the Turks who were in Greece are long gone.

Aren't many Turks just Turkified Greeks?

I can't believe some people are still pushing this false belief. I can only think of one article that showed Greeks had a significant Sub saharan background. The article that came out from a university in Madrid. That study has been ripped apart.
