Carpathian Wolf ! Albanians call Albania Shqiperi same like Germans call Germany Deutchland and same like British call Great Britain England and themself english.

Originally posted by Vorian From wiki, it seems to me that, the man just loves the attention and makes controversial studies just to draw the lights on him. The fact he was suspended from his hospital for embezzlement of funds doesn't help his credibility imo. Still, I don't think that anyone here actually believes that Greeks are originated from Ethiopia. It contradicts history, anthropology and common sense.

Yes, it is not that he has a clean sheet. However, the fuzz was not created specifically about the study on Greeks, but about all the results like the linking of South Africans with Japanese and Irish. Maybe something went terribly wrong, but like all studies in any field they're published because they may provide some usefull information in the future or fill a missing link. I'm not an anthropologist, but when i first asked someone with medical background, the answer i got was that the immune system of people living in warm countries can be similar because of the environment or something. Simple as that.

In any case, the study does not match other studies that have been done before and after. Chibuldios demonstrated already an example.

Besides, according to the genographic project of National Geographic, there was a migration from Africa 20 000 years ago. However, the main migration occured 10 000 years ago from Anatolia (M172 marker) and is common with many other groups in the eastern mediteranean and Italy.

In the end as Chibuldios said, we all came from Africa, maybe 200 000 years ago, so what's the big deal?

Raaaaaaastafarah Jaaaaaaaah!

Originally posted by Carpathian Wolf My point is that other then the name Albania there is nothing really linking you to the Illyrians. And even that link is broken by the fact that you don't even use that name yourselves. So The byzantine chornicles can refer to Arbanoi all they want, that isn't a name you use for yourself.

Carposhki.....We called themself Arbanit/Arbresh/Arber an Illyrian tribes (mentioned in the 2nd century BC by Polybius) who lived Today North Albania/SouthEast Kosova and were close to Albanians (who lived Central Albania).

Arbanoi and Albanoi both were illyrian tribes who lived close.

Originally posted by Flipper Easy there Anton. I was not wrong really. I might have been wrong for not mentioning the single marker, that was however already mentioned earlier.

Originally posted by Flipper Ofcourse not. Besides, you already mentioned this earlier. It is stupid to go to court because someone made a weird research. I guess he was accused about other things, that were never prooven, but the court would never give a penalty to someone that made a research no matter what.

We have no reason to believe other wise.

That's irrelevant. My point is the only thing linking Illyrians to Albanians directly is the name, but the name wasn't used by the latter group. They don't call themselves anything close to Albanian or Illyrian.
