The Turkish DNA Project, an online endeavor to track Turkish genetics, is enraged at the popular genealogy site Ancestry.com and has called for it to be boycotted for stating an inconvenient truth: many, and possibly most, modern Turks are the descendants of the Greeks who once formed the overwhelming majority of the population of the land that is now Turkey. In this as in so many other instances, the truth hurts, but that doesn’t make it any less the truth.

T.E. Lawrence thought most of them were sodomites.
Exactly right. War tended to mix up bloodlines. They especially liked blond, blue eyed slaves from Ukraine, Russia, and other slavic countries. If the Turks had not been stopped at the Seige of Vienna, there might have been a lot of genes from western Europe too.
All europeans carry to varying degrees three sets of genes, latest were the horse people who came in around 3000 BC from above the black sea. Earlier than these folk were the farmers who came from Turkey from about 7000-5000 BC. A third set of genes come from people who predate the younger dryas of about 11,000-10,000 bc. These people may not be white. But rather something closer to north asian—around the arctic circle—or even south central asian. The sami people of scandenavia may be a remnant of this. The indians of canada also carry a piece of their genetic code. The evidence for this comes from the similarities between the atlantic coast european solutrian people arrow points from 20,000 years ago and the arrow points of the clovis people who disappeared from north america during the younger dryas —along with a lot of megafauna. As well, there is genetic evidence. From wikipedia:
Sequencing of another south-central Siberian (Afontova Gora-2) revealed that “western Eurasian genetic signatures in modern-day Amerindians derive not only from post-Columbian admixture, as commonly thought, but also from a mixed ancestry of the First Americans.”[51] It is further theorized if “Mal’ta might be a missing link, a representative of the Asian population that admixed both into Europeans and Native Americans.”[52]

This article from the bbc elaborates on genetic commonality between europeans and american indians as told by sequencing the genes of the Mal’ta boy.

Yes. My Carpatho-Rusyn great aunt had traces of Mongol features and was said to have a certain birthmark which was associated with Mongol genes.
Cat Stevens, Damn him!
It’s all Greek to me.
To be a “Turk” and look at how you ethnically cleansed your country of your Greek genetic stock would be a shock that many would not want to admit.
Still the whole “Muslim leadership” had strong Arabic ties and yet the battles between Persia and Alexander the Great are probably a huge source of DNA, to say nothing of the Vikings and the slaves they sold in Istanbul/Constantinople.
“Where do they wish they were from?”
Persia.

Bad bad Turkowomen.
Shame shame.
Shoulda kept your legs together.

LOL! Quite so.
People and records can fudge the truth but DNA not so much.
“Mine came back with a percentage Native American which is nonsense. My grandparents were immigrants from Eastern Europe.”
According to the standard genealogy documents (not DNA), I have close to 100 Cherokees and other Native Americans as Ancestors. No Indian DNA shows up.
There is a book by Iris E. Stout about the Native Americans, and there are over 100 of my ancestors were Native Americans in her book.
(Finding treasures Left along the trail. My Cherokee heritage). Yet, there are no Cherokee DNA trails in my DNA, siblings and other blood line relatives.
On the other hand, one of my mother’s closest cousins warned her and her sister to be careful with our DNA searches. There might be African ancestors hiding in the bushes.
No African DNA or Indian from that side of the family.
Yet, my Dad and his siblings were supposedly Cherokee.
Again no Indian DNA. However 2-4% African DNA magically
shows up from my Dad’s side of the family. That DNA apparently came from a Free Black female in our SE pre America.
Hey, they only know what they've been taught. ;^)
The celts were from southern germany and points east. They invaded greece about 280 bc.
The people who st paul scolded—the galations were are celtic people who crossed over into turkey.
Mine came back with a percentage Native American which is nonsense. My grandparents were immigrants from Eastern Europe.

About 5000 years ago a group of pastoralists from what is now roughly ukraine conqured all of europe including ireland scandenavia and all of southern europe. They didn’t do in a generation or two like the mongols. It took a 1000 years.
7000 years ago groups of farmers spent roughly 2000 years settling all of europe. Their greatest works were stone henge and all the stone monuments stone monuments skattered all over europe. Their culture was defeated by the incoming pastoralists so completely that most men of european ancestry have a paternal line that goes only through these pastoralists. They killed all the men and took their women for wives.
After the last ice age—about 12000 years ago there was a group of hunter gatherers in europe. But these groups were not homogeneous. they came from waves of migrations over previous millenium from central asia. Some of those central asian populations also moved east and crossed the land bridge to the americas.
DNA test reveal where you have been, not where you are from.
Sounds like some of your ancestors may have rode with Atilla!
Sounds like a Trojan Horse, to me...........................
