Genetics of the Greeks: European or Middle Eastern?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ธ.ค. 2018
- Just who exactly are the Greeks and what is their genetic makeup? Today we will be discussing a brief history and genetics of the Greek people, one of the most influential groups of people, not only in the West, but nearly the entire world.
Be sure to let me know your thoughts on the history and genetics of the Greeks, without whom, our entire history and culture as we know it would look drastically different. Thanks for watching! Honestly, I did not think the video title was so controversial. Just trying to answer a commonly asked question!

We in Sweden are learning in the schools that Macedonia is Greek
Well, good
The name Macedonia is greek. But our stupid government gave it away
Macedonia is Greece
NORTHERN Macedonian (according to the treaty of Prespes) can be called Northern Macedonia, however, the historical events involving Macedonia (for example Alexander the Great) must not be linked with northern Macedonia but with Greek history and Greece's part of Macedonia
@Kafa kafica again you how many times do we have to teach you a lesson ?
@Kafa kafica even if l did answer you, you wouldn't believe me anyways since you learnt what communists told you
We southern Italians are Italianized Greeks. Whenever we southern Italians see a Greek monument we feel a shiver inside, it's a difficult thing to explain.
i want to come to magna grecia so bad! the most people there have Greek DNA
good luck brother! greetings from Greece!
What about the northerner Greeks with the North Italians? What do you feel there!
You guys are Albanians, and even the Greeks that went to Sicily and South Italy were Albanians from the Greece. There is a reason why they still speak Albanian even tho they call themselves "Greci". Abruzzo, Basilicata, Molise, Calabria, has so many of Albanian descendent.
@@aleks9014 Omg!!! You Albanien what are you guys smoking? Enough with your fake propaganda that they teach you in school. Go educate yourself. You can't rewrite history! You guys are of Turkish decent. That explains the hate. 😂
@@aleks9014 You people are crazy, you think everything and everyone is Albanian.
Love & respect to our Greek brothers and their great history ..from Egypt.
thank you Brother !!!
Thanks but no thanks! The Arab Egyptians effectively kicked out thriving Greek communities in many Egyptian cities out of the region in various immoral ways. Not that I expect better from any government, including the Greek.
Here at the Art Museum I was very amused to see an inscription bearing the name "Ptolemaios" (Ptolemy) written in Ancient Egyptian "Hieroglyphics". The Ptolemies ruled Egypt for 300 years, until Cleopatra and Marc Anthony, while having a bigger and stronger fleet than the ROmans, left the battlefield and lost Egypt to the Romans. The first Ptolemy was a good general of Alexander and was a good ruler, but at the end of the 300 years they taxed the Egyptian farmers too much and the once very wealthy country was not prospering.
@anastassiosperakis2869 Indeed , when Alexnader the great conquered Egypt ..Egypt was already occupied by the Persians, He asked to be crowned as a Pharoh he was seen positively as a liberator as Greece and Egypt had a histroy to trading and many anceint greek scholars used to head to Egypt for Education ...we Egyptians were occupied pretty much by every Empire yet the most awful and brutal occupiers were the Ottomans & the Romans
@@anastassiosperakis2869 isn't that the fateful course of increasing bureaucracy? It happens everywhere and during any time in human history.
As a Greek, i thank you all for your respect and acknowledgement brothers and sisters🙏

Up until about 4 years ago I thought I was a Palestinian, then I had my ancestory DNA done, as it turns out I am 97 percent Greek. All the family stories were of Greek grand fathers and great grant fathers, but both my parents were born in Jerusalem and spoke Arabic but as it turns out both their grand fathers were Greek Orthodox Christians from Thesyloniki Greece. Now I am proud to call myself Greek.
SamytheGreek
Yeap, the Ottomans really messed around with the middle east. Turns out that they had even resettled Slavs in Lebanon.
97 PERCENT! HOLY SPANAKOPITA!
theo peri
no, you don't understand, the benchmark for Greek is set to 100% , and all other dna results are set against the Greek. So a 97% Greek result, indicates the one is almost Greek.
and you are right to be proud...salute from greece!
@@Gamotheos 😂😂😂
I'm from Salento (Southern Italy), and my region was settled by Minoans, Myceneans and Illyrians. An hellenic dialect known as Griko is still spoken today among the elder people, and I consider it as the ancestral language of my land.
Rize Grike huge LOVE to to the greeks of Kato- Italia! Love your pure greek Language!
Does rize mean something in particular?
Learn the dialect, do not let it perish after thousands of years!
zeynep özçelebi yes, it means roots
@@levesd3722 we have a city called Rize. Back then it belonged to Pontus Greeks. That's why I asked
I am Persian/Iranian. We have a name in our language Iskandar, or last name Eskandari which is a variant of the name from Alexander(Alexander the great).
You will not be european your more closer to Indian than european
@@loodi3138 i never said i was european i am proud to be Iranian look at my profile picture its Iranian mythology. I have nothing to do with Europe, i am from Asia. Most of Asia is influenced by Persian culture. Iran and Greece had some legendary battles, India was never a strong empire.
It's ok Alexander Alexandros in Greek mean he who pushes the men away the strong warrior!
@@loodi3138 Iranians are Aryans, so are Northern Indians. The Aryans split into two major groups, one group traveled through Bactria, crossing the Hindu Kush and settling in the Indus valley later descending further south into the Gangetic basin while the other group went and settled in Western Iran. This is why you will notice a lot of physical similarities between the Iranian and North Western Indian people, the further south and east you go into India the more the Aryan gene gets diluted. There are cultural similarities as well. Iran was called "Ērānsahr" in ancient times meaning "Land of the Aryans" while northern India was called "Āryāvarta" which also means "Land of the Aryans" establishing the cultural as well as genetic connection between the Indo-Aryans and Iranian peoples.

As a filipino we always learn from school that Alexander the Great is Greek.

Greeks were European before there was Europe.
enuff said
lol actual genetical research shows that greeks were far from the first europeans
@Georgios Chardavellas Exactly.. I'm blonde, green eyes, quite white...i'm a mixture of Greek, Bulgarian, Cypriot and Iranian. While there is that typical Greek look in many Greek men i see here, I would consider this more like a byproduct of centuries of ethnic mixing. Bulgarians are considered Slavs but by appearance they are more close to Greeks and Turks.
Also I'd like to point out that the Middle East doesn't necessarily mean dark hair and brown eyes. Probably that was true 2000 years ago but not anymore. Also, i don't know where do you live in Greece but I was born in and raised in Athens and I'm pretty accustomed to how a typical Greek person looks like here but when I moved to study in Thessaloniki and after few months exploring the area, it was evident that the Greeks up there look nothing like the Greeks down here. Up there you see more light hair, more blue eyes, the face features are less chiseled. They look closer to Bulgarians and Turks. It's hard to explain it really but to me the difference is huge since I travel often around and outside Greece and I get to see a bigger picture of the puzzle.
please show me that 'actual genetical research' i am truly interested. some links, references etc would be appreciated. define 'european', first of all @@911Maci
I can see a meme coming from this.
Greek guy: I was European before it was cool

I love that so many people are proud of their Greek heritage. My father was Greek but not my mother. I grew up in the US but have always been proud of my Greek heritage. I was finally able to visit Greece and it was wonderful! Now I'm connecting with some Greek relatives. If I could move anywhere in the world it would be Greece.
Greece that lovely country
Do greeks visit any other country apart from Greece? Seems like no other country matters.....
Yep they do
@@jimmuleta2985 yes , but many go to see family is why they travel there more often
@@jimmuleta2985 Ofc we visit other countries but when your country is the most beautiful, the most impressive, the most stunning, the one with the most important & rich history on the planet & finally the one that has the best & more tasty cuisine in the world, well if you were Greek you would agree in that case that Gods have blessed Greece more than any other country in the world, it's paradise on earth.
I am Iranian and we feel extremely connected to Greek heritage in literature, philosophy, and general culture. The Parthian Shahs had Greek tragedies performed at the court and we feel the echoes of Sophocles and Euripides in the poetry of Ferdowsi. We are close siblings in the Indo-European family and the epic poetry of Greece, Iran, and India (and Scandinavia for that matter) are closely related as are our languages. There is no East and West.
Iranians have absolutely nothing to do with Greeks
@@christostomas889 say something more intelligent in reply. Please expound.
@@christostomas889 δεν ξερεις ιστορια... dont worry friend Ali, Christos above is totally useless in history. Anyone who has the least historical knowledge knows that Iran is for sure connected to the ancient Greek civilization, most know by Alexander the Great (Escander if I pronounce it correctly, in the language spoken there), many statues of him because it is said he was very respectfull of the land he went on.
The way I see it is that during the early Middle Ages, the Greek Romans and the Iranian Sassanids could not come to terms of peace, but only temporarily, over and over. This failure to come to a permanent peace depopulated Anatolia and weakened both sides creating an immense power vacuum which was consequently filled by invading Muslim Arabic tribes from the south and later, Turkic and mostly Islamic tribes from the east. For ancient Iran and it’s Persian culture to be conquered and replaced by that of tribal, Arabic herdsmen had to have been it’s most humiliating defeat. Iran accepted Islam and found her freedom in but a few things such as poetry, a great outlet in exchange for her past freedoms and advanced civilization. For the two cultures to combine and for Persian society to accept Islam is probably, in my own opinion now, never really achievable. I don’t think the Iranian people will ever come to terms in surrendering their past advanced civilization to what they are following today. The Greek’s humiliating defeat by Turkic tribesmen was later, and a much slower, torturous defeat taking centuries, but was still much from the depopulation of Anatolia, it’s food, man power [military] and tax base. Two great ancient civilizations of art, science, and culture taken down by herdsmen, but not destroyed.

I'm Sicilian but I did an ancestry DNA test and it showed that more than half of my ethnicity is Greek.
I'm Southern Italian too we all have at least some Greek blood.
Those online ancestry sites make all mediteranean people greek lol
Sicily was a Greek colony so its not surprising.
More likely that southern italians are of albanian origin than of greek. Huge numbers of albanians migrated to southern Italy. Albanians score higher % greek than greeks on DNA test
That's because the Greeks colonized Sicily. Isn't there a Greek city still in Sicily that has Greek architecture as if it were in Greece?
My Italian Great-Grandmother's surname was Capogreco .... head of the Greeks. She lived in Reggio Calabria, in the Benestare/Ardore/Bovalina area. I assume her father's family was originally Greek. I do have some Greek ancestry showing in my otherwise Italian DNA (among a few miscellaneous other populations). I know that Calabria was mostly a Greek City-State at one time ....
Kürdistan♥️İtalya ☀️☀️☀️☀️😎😎😎😎 anneciğim barbar türkler geliyor🤣🤣🤣🤣

Capogreco does not translate to head of the greeks, rather than 'greek head' meaning she had the greek look.
I am from Alexandria Egypt, many people who live in our city looks like the monuments displayed in the Greek Museum.
I’m Palestinian I found out I have 21 percent Greek in my DNA. I love you Greece specially Crete.
Zoe Kouf The story we were taught is that the Cretans (philistines) established several cities along the coast of Canaan They were good sea people and warriors. Goliath in the Bible was one of them. With time they blended in with the Canaanites and many others. It’s just fascinating now how their DNA proves that history.
@@Anonymouse166 goliath was a greek? That's amazing if true
poro poro Goliath was a Philistine and most historians say Philistines came from Greece. I guess you could say he’s Greek or Greek origin.
I've heard a lot of Palestinians say that they can trace their genetic history back to the Greeks somewhat, is this true?
UB3RFR3NZY I will tell you about my own analysis about my DNA maybe will give you an idea. First I am from a moslem family, so any non moslem mix probably an old DNA. Here is what I think happened in time order. I have ancient Levantine DNA 9 percent, Greek 21 percent, Caucasus 21 percent, Arabian 13 percent, North African Berber 11 percent, Central Asian 13 percent and finally European Ashkenazi 10 percent, layers and layers. I think most people in the area that don’t have a strong outside look (recent immigrants like the Bedouins) would have similar results. I think it’s fascinating. Greeks had a strong presence in our history but they weren’t the only ones.
Love to Greece 🇬🇷 from a Mexican American 🇲🇽🇺🇸
And love to Greece from an American Indian!
Greeks and Mexicans have the most vibrant cultures. Music, dance, food, art, joy of life. No other cultures do it better, nor have so many aspects at the highest levels. Zito!
@Κorína .ΧΡΔ. Yes, American Indian, ma'am. Shawnee/Cherokee and Powhattan (that is, Pamunkey) from 'way back in the 1400's. And one Choctaw ancestor from my dad's side. But I also have Irish and English blood in me, and a little Scandinavian and French. I'm a mixed-blood, as we say here. And usually white people say "Native American" but American Indians generally say "Indyan" or "American Indyan". The first question one Indian will say to another when introduced is "What Tribe are you from?".
@Κorína .ΧΡΔ. Yes, well, what the federal government of the US is doing all over the world is also sad. I am also a Southerner and what the federal government did to the South was sad. They practiced here before taking their plans of war, profit and empire over seas. The US gov't is evil and unChristian, in my opinion. (it wasn't simply "white men" who killed Indians, plenty of them married Indians and lived with them. It is a certain political and anti-Christian ideology of thinking they are the "best" and all other Peoples are inferior and therefore to be preyed upon.)
Respect from Serbia my Greek brothers!!!

@eV Avoz DNA of Serbs says different. There's barely Anatolian DNA in average Serbian, like 1%. We are mix of Illyrians and Slavs. Greeks and Serbs are Orthodox brothers but genetically we are different.
@eV Avoz Anatolian Turks are basically turkified Eastern Roman population, that's why they've got like 24% J2 and around 16% of R1b. Turks and Greeks are kinda similar just the only exception is that the Greeks dont have Central Asian genetics.
About being European, their cities are literally older than Romans, they're forefathers of democracy, modern mathematics, philosophy, science, medicine..
By mentality, they're fully European.
I know several Serbs and one common thing I've noticed is that they are all really tall. Is that common?
I'm from Iraq and about 2 years ago I decided to do a DNA test and the results came out like: 22% Anatolia & the Caucasus, 16% Persian, 23% Levant (Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine), 4% Egypt, 21% Arabian Peninsula, and my biggest surprise was that I have 14% Greek 🤩> It really explains my love to Greece and it's amazing people!
Are you sure this test is reliable ?
Cause it could not be the case.
@@Dani-wc9cu I don't really know! I had it here in the United states. And usually, once or twice a year I get an update about my results, whenever they get some new data!
That's pretty cool but not surprising. Iraq being the cradle of civilization has been a very attractive region to control so many groups throughout history have taken their stab at trying to get it. It is the reason Iraq is so diverse ethnically, but most people tend not to notice because you know... It's Iraq. Shame, Iraq seems like an awesome place and I would love to visit it as much as I would Greece because I have a fascination with the oldest civilizations on Earth and Sumeria (Iraq) is the oldest of them all. Much love from China friend.

We love you back 🇬🇷🇱🇧
amuru makavelli - Shukraan habib’ elbi! Greetings from Hellas to the ancient land of the seafaring Phoenicians! I know only one Arabic phrase that my Lebanese friends taught me: “ Yunani mezhnounim”...
A A - No. The Phoenicians gave the Greeks their alphabetic script (or at least part of it). The Greeks added vowels, adapted it to the phonology of the Greek language, simplified and standardized it - made it more ‘user friendly’, to use a modern idiom - and subsequently bequeathed it to the Romans (and hence to the rest of Europe - including the Cyrillic script for the Russians and most other Slavic peoples of Eastern Europe).
As a Sicilian i feel kinship with all in the Mediterranean community, however we are up to 40% Greek (by far the most predominant ethnic influence) and i have Greek ruins surrounding my parents hometown so i feel Siceliot Greek primarily...
We also feel very close to sicilians .Salutations from peloponesse❤
Greek culture is very fascinating because of contributions to humanity linguistically. Also, Greeks contributed to Math, Art and Science.
There is one thing that we’ve deliberately overlooked that the Greeks took most of their knowledge and even most of the Greek mythology from the ancient Egyptians, the Sumerians and the Phoenicians. Just look at the Alphabet, it wasn’t Greek, it was invented by the Phoenicians, so is the word Alphabet from Aramaic Aleph ( ox) and Bet ( home) . Our continent is called after Europa who wasn’t Greek but a Phoenician princess from the ancient city of Tyre ( in today’s Lebanon). There are historical work that show more than half of the European Mediterranean cities were founded by the Phoenicians not the Greeks or the Romans. Look at the origins of Pythagoras and Thales, they weren’t Greeks, they were Phoenicians. Check out the works of historians from MIT (S. Holst and others from Columbia about the ancient world. But History is written and manipulated by the VICTORS that’s why we ignore those great civilizations I mentioned and we limit our civilizations to the Greeks and Romans. So arrogant and ignorant !

Its a very interesting question and extremely interesting response. To me as an outsider, born and raised in Austria, i look up to Greece as the origin of many philosophical and political ideas as well as the origin of our civilisation. So many things that were originally greek came through the romans and even directly from you to central europe. But its true and undeniable that there are heavy oriental influences in the modern greek culture. This however is in no way something bad, it makes your culture even more unique, rich and beautiful. Long story short to me Greeks are as european as it gets since "being european" doesn't just mean one thing, we are a diverse continent and thats in what lies our strength!
Aincent Greeks were oriental too.
@@HardCore_Islamist they were indoeuropeans so i guess not
@@part9952thier language was
@@HardCore_Islamist not at all. Greek is not a semitic language.
@@levesd3722 ⚠️Why is islam the truth⚠️
There is a clear definition of God:
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born. Nor is there to Him any equivalent." ( Surah Al ikhlas)
Islam calls for worshipping one unique God who created everything.
And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion, inclining to truth, and to establish prayer and to give zakah. And that is the correct religion.(98/5)
Quran is the only holy book that preserved its original script. It is as it was revealed to Muhammad (Pbuh). The Almighty ensured the preservation of the Quran because the message of Muhammad (Pbuh) is universal and final.
“We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly Guard it (from corruption)” (15:9
The great miracles that the Qur'an include in the legislation, judgments, stories, beliefs, and science can not be produced by any creature, regardless of their knowledge. It tells a lot of past and future facts that can not be achieved by humans, especially at that time which was primitive in terms of modern technology and machinery
Some of the verses in which addressed the Prophet (Pbuh) mention some of the things that Allah warned against him, and some of verses admonish him: “Do not say of anything, ‘I will do that tomorrow,’ without adding, ‘God willing’” (Quran, 18:23-24).
Islam is the fastest growing religion right now. The number of convert to islam is increasing in major countries.
Britain sees about 5,200 conversions a year. In America, nearly a quarter of Muslims are converts. A false religion basically will lose followers not gain them.
[1]
Muslims honor all prophets, and the belief in them is obligatory for every Muslim.
Say, ‘We believe in God and in what was sent down to us and what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and what was given to Moses, Jesus, and all the prophets by their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we devote ourselves to Him.’” (Quran, 2:136)
Islam is based on the concept of justice in rewards and sanctions. No one was born sinner and noone is expected to go to hell or heaven. It all depends on your deeds in this worldly life.
So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it. And whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it. (99:7/8)
The righteousness in islam is not defined by how many prayers you made or how days you fast but how you treat others.
Abu Huraira reported: A man said, “O Messenger of Allah, a woman prays in the night, fasts in the day, does many deeds and gives charity, yet she harms her neighbors with her tongue.” The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “There is no good in her. She is among the people of Hellfire.” The man said, “O Messenger of Allah, another woman prays the obligatory prayers and gives bits of food in charity, yet she does not harm anyone.” The Prophet said, “She is among the people of Paradise.” Source: al-Adab al-Mufrad 117
Islam is compatible with human nature. It establishes an equilibrium between the body needs and soul demands.
Seek, through that which Allah has given you, the home of the Hereafter; but do not forget your share of the world. And do good as Allah has done good to you. And desire not corruption in the land. Indeed, Allah does not like corrupters." [Surat Al Qasas:77].

Greeks are genetically closely related to Italians due to Greek colonization of Southern Italy in Ancient times and Venetian rule in the Middle Ages. My DNA test results were almost 40 percent the same as Italians, the rest was mostly Balkan (Greece) and even some Eastern European .

This is one of the nicest brief summarys about a nation's history and its expansion I have seen. Two points I wanted to hear before I watch the video and you referred to them as best as you could based on the video's short duration.
A) The Greeks for the most part of the antiquity weren't united but they feel/knew that they share the same ancestry. Of course the common language is the first and most important element that shows this and then there is the common religious. These are the two most significants characteristics that point out a common ancestry for a group of people in the early times with written tradtion. However, the various panhellenic games, with the Olympic being the epitome of the mutual history of the different greek tribes, can show us how high they regarded their history, all these mythological epics that still we learn today. If we think how old the Olympic games and the Homeric poems are (8th century BC), the conclusion is that the Greek tribes even with their animosity towards one another felt as the same nation from really old times. Luckily, many archailogians have worked to this proof with all the findings in places like the Mycenes and the excavation of Troy, places that were the main sites of the Iliad and show to us the truth behind the myth, how old the hellenic nation is in the Greek peninsula and the west Asia Minor, so we can prevent any history revisionist with actual history facts from rewritting the history in this area.
B) The second point I would like to refer is the islamization of a very big part of Greeks in Asia Minor. To analyze this we must take into accound some significants aspects of the Ottoman islamic society. Being a Christian ment that you are a second class citizen (citizen = subject). The courts would find guilty an innocent Christian for any crime if a Muslim was standing against him. They were heavily taxed for their religion, as in the islamic law a non Muslim subject must pay the Jizya in order to safely practise his faith. The first centuries of the Ottoman rule in the Balkans there were a tradition of taking a child of a Christian family and raized it with Muslim principles and tradition, so that when this kid comes to age join the army. Many Greek, Serbian, Bulgarians and other Christian kids were islamized and got to fight other Christians. They formed the Janissaries. All these made many families to convert to Islam as their life would be much easier and with no fear of kidnapping their child. And of course any former Christian that was converted to Islam would now considered a Turk as the religious aspect was then the main thing that distinguished the people in the Empire. So, too many Greeks (or Rhomioi - from Romans - as they were used to call themshelves back then) and other Christians would now be Turkish people. This also explains the huge population of Turkey today and the small one of the Balkan countries that were strong states in the mediaval times.
Well, since Europa is a greek word, we should question if the other population in Europe are really European.
I am an American, and one of my great-grandfathers was a Greek immigrant from the island Andros. I've always thought that side of my ancestry was much more interesting than the English and Scottish remainder. My Yaya made sure I loved Greece.

Greek is such an amazing ethnic background. Be beyond proud if you have it.
There's no connection between the ancient Greeks and the modern Greeks. They're not geniuses like Socrates or Plato. Quite the opposite.
@@illbeback3168 Based on what facts?
@@ugabugabagaga, there's no contiuation between ancient and modern Greece (formed in 1822), but a huge historical gap filled by other ethnicities. Read the german thinker Jakob Philipp Fallmerayer (1790 - 1861). When western philhellenes like Byron visited Greece, they hoped to meet the grandsons of Socrates, but they met assimilated: Arvanites (Albanians), Aromanians, Slavs etc., who were counted as "Greeks" cause they adhered to greek orthodoxy and the Ecumenical Patriarchate. In the Balkan Wars of 1912-13, Greece conquered what is now "Greek Macedonia" and forcibly assimilated the local slavic Macedonians or Bulgarians, and in 1923, Greece was enriched with refugees from Asia Minor, also counted as "Greeks", though they were: Karamanlides (baptised Seljuks), Georgians, Armenians, christian Arabs etc. Greece denies the existence of other ethnicities in it's borders and persecutes them, but it is in fact a multiethnic conglomerate. It's inhabitans posses none of the qualities ascrbibed to the ancient Greeks.
@@illbeback3168 I don't usually respond to racist and delusional ignorants , but i will now so others can see it too.There is NO "historical gap" as you claim , because in this area since before antiquity Greeks inhabit non-stop.The fact that the area ,during the ottoman occupation was inhabited by many other ethnicities as well , does not by any means change the fact , that the majority were Greeks.In fact , Greeks were majority in other regions as well , as the very video mentions too , regions that don't belog to modern Greece , such as Asia minor , Western Thrace , Cyprus and many more.When Greeks RETOOK Macedonia, it was being raided by Bulgarians , who were infesting the villages , killing the locals and loot them en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macedonian_Struggle.Macedonia after all , is home to the Greeks since antiquity , home to one of the greatest Greeks of all time , Alexander The Great.During the population exchange between Greece and Turkey , more than 1 million people came to Greece , the absolute majority of them being ethnically Greek.Along with them Armenians and other cristians as well as some jewish people came here , but them being a minority.You search for the bokk of Aris Poulianos "the Origins of Greeks" , to watch the evidence after reasearch presented by the author.You can also open a book , or ask a University professor if you have any questions , rather than spreading toxic ant-Greek bullshit.Where are you from?
@@ugabugabagaga, wrong. Most fighters of the greek struggle for Macedonia were not from there. Karavangelis was from Lesbos, Melas was born in France with roots from N. Epirus, his andartes were from Crete and Peloponese. The few locals they recruited like Kotas and Vangelis Natsis were Bulgarians - deserters from the IMRO. This struggle was not grassroots, it was orchestrated from Greece by her ambassador in the Ottoman Empire, Mavrokordatos; her consul in Thess/niki, Koromilas; and his colleague in Monastiri, Dragoumis. None of them was from Macedonia. And most of the bulgarian fighters were born in Macedonia: Hadzhinikolov and Delchev (Kilkis), Batandzhiev (Goumenissa), Dimitrov (Ayvatovo near Salonica), Pop Traikov (Dambeni, Kastoria), Chakalarov (Smrdesh, Florina). Also add Vlahov from Kilkis, who took part in the formation of the yugoslav republic of Macedonia.
Greeks: not just Europeans but the parents of Europe and Western Civilization.

OMFG 1.2k likes that's so awesome thank you guys :D
good point
True, they are European Mediterranean, however, I must say that Spaniards have quite a diferent genetic make up from that of Italian and Greeks, particularly the last ones. Europe can be devided in 3 main regions: Northern Europe (Nordic countries), Western Europe, and Eastern Europe. There could be a fourth group including the Finish and Baltic people, whose genetics are pretty different. Of course, many people cluster with several groups, like Italy, or Germany, etc.
@Dimitri Filipi We are Europeans, period...
@Dimitri Filipi in Quora you were admitting that at least South Greeks and Greek islanders (who make up the majority of Greeks) have more in common with "Latins" like Italians and Spaniards and less with Balkan people like Albanians.
I have not listened to any Albanian or Balkan or oriental music which sounds like Sirtaki, in contrast to many Sounds from Italy which do sound like Sirtaki, or never saw any architecture in Balkans looking like anything in Peloponnese like Nafplio, Pylos Koroni, Galaxidi, Aegean islands etc in contrast to many parts of Italy which are nearly identical
now not sure what you mean by "traditional clothing", cause no person in Greece walks in the street wearing "traditional clothing", but Greek clothing surely was always consisted of a white shirt and a black bollero, like in almost all South European countries, having nothing slavic about it, let alone middle eastern or arabian traditional clothing which has litterally nothing in common with Greek
what exactly changed since you were admitting the reality, that most of Greece is like LATINS, NOT BALKANS? Which is the reality i am experiencing here as well.
BTW in ALL sources Greece is associated with WESTERN EUROPE mostly, not with eastern Europe. We have nearly 2 continuous centuries in Western Europe, and another 3 during medieval times, all our indexes (education, gdp etc) are closer to WESTERN EUROPE. You talk about music, do Greek americans (who we in Greece call "haza amerikanakia") know about waltz tradition in Greece? I doubt if you know anything more about Greece than what you see in weddings, that's why have such an opinion about "Greek Americans".
You say you are an Arvanite, both in Quora and here, you should know that Greece is not Arvanitic villages (a population which hardly makes up 3% of Greece). visit northern suburbs of Athens and you will see places that could have similarities not only with "Latins", but even with Germanic countries, but nothing in common with Balkans, and especially Albania which has zero innfluence from the West (at least countries like Serbia do have Western influence). How many places in Albania which look anything like Santorini, or Plaka in Athens, or the towns from South Greece i referred above could you suggest me?
North Greece is a bit more Balkanic influenced, and because of the Anatolian refugees maybe more, but people know Greece for South, and even more for its islands, not for Balkan influenced places
You can personally feel close to whoever you want, and see "your culture" in dances or music etc of whoever you want, but you have to respect that this doesn't apply for Greeks, and if you differ from Greeks from this aspect, then you obviously aren't Greek, even if you have some origins from there

In southern Italy there are many Hellenophone areas, and genetically (throughout southern Italy) we are very close to the Greeks, so much so that we consider them our brothers.

Modern Greeks are related to the ancient Greeks in many ways:
1. Genetic Continuity: Genetic studies have shown that modern Greeks share a significant amount of genetic heritage with the ancient Greeks. As mentioned earlier, a study published in Nature in 2017 found genetic continuity between modern and ancient Greeks over a span of 3,500 years. This suggests that there has been a degree of genetic continuity within the Greek population.
2. Cultural Continuity: The ancient Greeks established a rich and influential culture that has had a lasting impact on Western civilization. Many aspects of ancient Greek culture, such as language, literature, philosophy, art, and architecture, have been preserved and passed down through the generations. Modern Greeks still identify with this cultural heritage and continue to celebrate and promote it.
3. Language: The Greek language has evolved over time but has maintained a significant degree of continuity from ancient to modern times. Modern Greek, known as Demotic Greek or simply Greek, is a direct descendant of Ancient Greek. Although there have been changes in pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, the core structure and roots of the language can be traced back to ancient times. The linguistic continuity is a strong indication of the cultural and historical connection between modern and ancient Greeks.
4. Regional Continuity: The geographic region of Greece has served as a continuous homeland for various populations throughout history. Despite the influx of different groups through migrations and invasions, there has been a degree of regional continuity. The people living in Greece today can trace their roots back to the ancient inhabitants of the region.

They teach you right.But you have to know that a small part of Macedonia that now belongs to FYROM and also a small part of it that now belongs to Bulgaria , were parts of the ancient Macedonia. Slavs came to that place ( Balkan ) very very late.....6th century after Crist. So the confusion is that Slavic people are living now, in parts of the geographical area of Macedonia.They are Slavs. Not Macedonians even if they are living in small parts of the great Macedonia. Their language ( FYROM) is Bulgarian. Their nation is Slavic. Nothing to do with the Macedoneans.Macedonians were Greeks .Speaking Greek, having Greek names, Greek gods etc etc. That is why they were participating Olympic Games that were allowed to only for the Greek cities - states......

Tiziano D'amore that is true the Sicilians are of Ancient Greek background who fought and won so therefore left their soldiers and leaders in their land.
Greeks lived in a temperate zone which allowed civilization to flourish. It's not too hot or too cold there, which provide the best conditions human life to flourish. This is true for most civilizations.

I am English, with some Irish and Scottish, and some Ashkenazi Jewish heritage, so not Greek at all. But even up here we respect the Greeks as the progenitors of much of European culture, even here in North West Europe, so Salute from London!
Brittania was the embodiment of Hellenistic/Greco-Roman heritage outside of the Mediterranean.
Oy vey.

@@pompei1968 what do you mean
Its interesting seeing some Africans in USA claiming Greeks are not Europeans. I mean Im Albanian and i say as a joke Greeks are Ethiopians, just to piss them off and they call us Turks because after 500 years Turkish occupation many of our people converted to Islam. But the truth is that European culture is derived from the Greeks, without Greeks there would be no Europe as we know it. So in short Greeks are definitely Europeans, culturally and genetically. You African Americans should travel Europe because its a very diverse continent. We have Brown haired, brown eyed Orthodox Greeks to Blonde hair blue eyed Protestant Finns and Blonde Haired Bosnian Muslims to Black hair Catholic Spaniards etc ... Europe is a diverse enough continent without African and Arab migrants.
Mass respect my friend
Joni Zymberi I'm not African American but African European....and I just point out what this video told at 1:00 ! ...and I underline that European civilization was in fact triggered by the population in Europe with the highest E (African) portion in their dna mtHaplogroup....and I add that we know very well the degree of differences between various European groups. In fact various ethinc groups as Turkish for example are actually Europeans but the majority of Europeans deny them on the religious basis.
@@jerrykofiadonu4763 E-V13 haplogroup is nowhere to be found in Africa except in small portions in regions colonized by ancient Greeks. That haplogroup has it's peak in the Balkans. All you black people stop claiming other people's history. We have nothing to do with you

I am half Greek and half Coptic Egyptian, but I was born in Greece and I live here since forever... ❤️🇬🇷Egyptians, especially the Coptic community, do like us, cause Coptics are the real indigenous Egyptians so we have a longtime friendship going on between both nations. Of course Greeks are Mediterranean Europeans, just like the amazing people of Italy. I have been there and I saw that in almost every monument and museum they refer to Greeks as well ❤️

Of course because when they created so called Greece today 1830. Greece population was not wat they sain on history. Greece and Greks name didn't exist before 1830s and never appear on any old maps before 1830s. 50% Albanian. 30% Turks and Egypt'sin , gipsy, Bulgarian slavik and Asian. History of the country country whu called Greece state today it is fake it is made up and fabricated.
