Greeks And Slavs

By John Derbyshire

02/23/2016

In my Williams College address I said the following thing:

Modern Greeks boast themselves the descendants — the kin — of Homer, Pericles, and Aristotle. In fact Greece was massively invaded by Slavs in the Middle Ages, and modern Greeks have a large Slavic component in their ancestry. If you point this out to a Greek patriot, he’ll sock you on the jaw.

I don’t know whether geneticist Greg Cochran was reading my piece — I'd be flattered to think he was — or whether it’s just coincidence, but Greg has some brief observations on this topic over at West Hunter, with an interesting comment thread.
