Is there any good genetics or archeological work done on the origins of the Albanians as a people. Were they just a random CWC group that migrated down into that part of the Balkans at some point?

I'd love to see a post on this. A small, generally unknown people who no one can figure out where they came from definitively.

Hi Razib - your posts have such broad scope. Genetics, politics, history, archaeology. It's such a pleasure to read your work.

Are you aware of any bespoke ancestry services that can do deep dives into ancestry for wealthy customers? I think I know a few people who'd probably pay decent hourly rates if someone did a deep dive into their genealogy with them

Read part of Applebaum's "the crushing of eastern Europe" and "the nineties." Now on "San Fransicko"

Watched "Ascension" doc on China. Looks like a hair's breath from north Korea in some respects!
