What makes the Balkans such a genetic enigma? At the crossroads of Europe and Asia, the Balkans have witnessed countless migrations, conquests, and cultural shifts—yet the region’s DNA tells a story that often defies history books. In this video, we unravel the latest scientific discoveries about the genetic origins of Balkan peoples, from the Roman Empire to the rise of the Slavs and beyond.

Discover why Roman rule left almost no Italian genetic trace, how Anatolian migrations reshaped the region, and why the massive Slavic influx still shapes the DNA of millions today. Learn about the vanishing lineages of barbarian migrants, the persistence of ancient haplogroups like I2a and E-V13, and why the Balkans remain one of the most genetically diverse and complex regions in Europe.
