Hungary sits in the Carpathian Basin, where Central Europe, the western Balkans, and the Eastern European plain all meet. Its ancient-DNA record — Linearbandkeramik Neolithic, Beaker, Bronze Age Carpathian cultures, and the Hun, Avar, and Conquest-period medieval layers — is tied closely to Central European prehistory. It's also the single largest national share of the source database, with over 1,100 Hungarian samples. Adding Hungary as an anchor would pull the report's center of gravity away from the Greek-anchored Balkan and Mediterranean axis and toward Pannonian and Central European prehistory.
So we leave Hungary to dedicated Central European or Carpathian Basin builds. The Carpatho-Danubian story still reaches this report — but through Romania, on the Balkan side of the Danube.
