        Did you read the articles? Guess not.

        These small communities are direct descendants of the ones from ancient Greece.

          I don’t see where the article mentions that these are direct descendants of people who moved to Greece in ancient times? Both articles seem to talk about Greeks in these other countries…

              It’s just that you keep linking to stuff that doesn’t actually prove what you claim it does, while asking if I have read the articles…

              Your newest link:

              with roots dating back to Ottoman times

              I don’t get what is the point of this conversation. You keep linking me stuff that doesn’t actually talk about the topic…

                Ever heard of the term “genetic admixture” and population dispersion / cultural assimilation?

                Let’s disregard Herodotus’ description of Colchians for now since it’s disputed.

                Here is an example of an ethically African population living in present-day Eastern Europe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Abkhazians

                Not to mention all the ethnic groups displaced during the population exchange during the Greco-Turkish war in the 1920s.

                  This conversation is so weird. We’re specifically talking about Ancient Greece and again and again you share stuff that isn’t about Ancient Greece?
