Скачать или смотреть The Ultimate Mystery of Greek DNA

Have you taken a DNA test and discovered Greek ancestry? Your Greek roots are more ancient and complex than you might think. Recent genetic studies reveal that modern Greeks share substantial DNA with people who lived in the same region over 4,000 years ago—a level of continuity almost unmatched in Europe.

In this video, we explore the fascinating journey of Greek ancestry, from the earliest human species in Petralona Cave to the sophisticated Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations. Discover how Neolithic farmers from Anatolia replaced earlier hunter-gatherers, how steppe migrants brought new languages and technologies, and why, despite centuries of invasions and migrations, the genetic core of the Greek people has remained remarkably stable.
