What is the origin of the Albanians? Here we provide insights from Albanian YDNA results, hoping to contribute towards more comprehensive approaches in the future, combining historical, archaeological, linguist and genetic data.

All Albanian DNA data comes from the Albanian DNA Project "Rrënjët" (www.rrenjet.com). You can learn more about us and the DNA of Albanians, and even join us in our this research project, by visiting our website and our Facebook page:
