GENETIC BLOGGERS AND ETHNOGENETICS ENTHUSIASTS ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF THE SLAVS (VIEWED FROM POLISH PERSPECTIVE)

In the search for the origins of the Slavs, many fields of science are referred to, of which in recent years, when it comes to ethnogenetic research, population genetics has clearly come to the fore. Genes, they say, don't lie. The only issue is the correct assessment of the data obtained, because we have already encountered a similar problem in historical research, where the same messages were interpreted differently, in linguistics, where various etymologies of individual ethnonyms or local names, including the name 'Slavs', were given, as well as in archeology where some people attributed the finds to the Germanic tribes, others to the Celts, and there were those who associated them with the Slavs.
The dispute over the origin of the Slavs has been going on for a long time, but today we have easier access to data and knowledge from various fields, thanks to which it may be easier for us to solve this puzzle.
In this review article, I focus on online sources of knowledge in the field of population genetics. I am discussing here mainly the views of the so-called. genetic bloggers who deal with the issue of the origin of the Slavs. I believe that some of their analyzes of the available fossil DNA results are even more accurate than the archaeogeneticists themselves, who are great at obtaining data, but sometimes have trouble interpreting it, or even avoid it.
