Article Synopsis
- The Slavic languages diverged rapidly due to the expansion of speakers from Central-East Europe during medieval times, incorporating genes from local populations in Eastern Europe and the Balkans.
- Genetic analysis on various ethnic groups speaking Balto-Slavic languages revealed a strong correlation between genetic distances and geography (0.9), while showing a slightly lower correlation with mitochondrial DNA and language (0.7).
- The study indicates that present-day Slavic genetic diversity was shaped locally, identifying two main gene pools: 'central-east European' for West and East Slavs and 'south-east European' for South Slavs, with evidence of shared ancestry and gene flow between East-West and South Slavs.
