Ancient Iron Age Y DNA from modern North Macedonia. Two outliers are not included. Based on Lazaridis 2022 paper data.
Those people were known as Paeonians in Greek records. G2, C1 and J2a-Z6055 are from Neolithic period. R1b is from Yamnaya. The E1b is V13 related to Thracian expansion from Carpathian Mountains around 1000BC.
An obsolete theory proposed a Paei> Hai shift to prove a migration of Proto Armenians from Balkans. But now we know that it was a wrong theory.
In any case Armenian and Paeonians are related to each other as part of Indo-European family. Also based on shared Neolithic ancestry from genetic point of view.

Some of these samples and some of the female samples are most definitely related to Illyrians. Actually some of these samples could be cousins with some of the Illyrian samples based on IBD sharing and are probably Dardani, Dassareti or Penestae. Also they have R1b like some of the Illyrian samples. We don't have J-L283 in Kamenica either yet we know they were Illyrians based on autosomal and archeological site. As for the E-V13, it's an E-L618. And certainly nothing supports a Thracian expansion from carpathians in 1000 bc , those are nothing but fringe theories.
