It's a deep ancestry report centered on the Greek world and the wider Balkan and Eastern Mediterranean around it — from the Aegean islands and Crete to the Adriatic coast, the Lower Danube, and the broader Anatolian-Mediterranean arc. Instead of comparing you to people alive today, we connect your DNA to real ancient individuals dug up from archaeological sites across the region, spanning roughly 43,000 years of prehistory.
The report works on two levels. First, a regional breakdown that shows where your DNA fits best across thirteen modern geographic anchors — the Greek sub-regions (Aegean Islander, Peloponnesian, Central Greek, Northern Greek, Greek Cypriot, and Pontic Greek) and the wider Balkan sub-regions (Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, Albanian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, and Montenegrin). We read these through an ancient lens, not a modern-ethnicity one.
Second, a ranked list of ancient DNA matches that links your genome directly to specific excavated people and burial clusters across the key eras: from the Initial Upper Palaeolithic hunters at Bacho Kiro Cave in Bulgaria and the Iron Gates Mesolithic foragers, through Neolithic farmers, Bronze Age Minoans and Mycenaeans, Iron Age communities, Classical and Roman populations, and Byzantine and Medieval groups.
It's built on a carefully checked set of 415 ancient genomes from Greece, Cyprus, Türkiye, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Slovenia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Malta. Every one is peer-reviewed, radiocarbon-dated where possible, and chosen specifically for how much it adds to the Greek-anchored Balkan and Mediterranean story.
