Resum
With more than 10,000 ancient human genomes published in 2023, thanks to new
technological developments on DNA sequencing, we are now able to investigate multiple
ancestry layers associated to past migrations that have shaped the genomes of modern
populations. These studies have been able to unravel past social structures, as well as
selective processes, that left genomic marks. In the Balkans, the recent analysis of some
hundreds of ancient genomes from the last three thousand years have uncovered the
genetic signals of globalisation during the Roman Empire and also the signals of the Slavic
migrations after the 6th century BCE. Getting into historical periods, these population
movements have strong cultural and even political implications, showing the complex
nature of ancestry, genetics and identity. Genetics can offer objective data on human past
and yet, their interpretation in terms of identity is complex. A multidisciplinary approach,
involving different disciplines such as archaeology, anthropology, history and even
linguistics is recommended.
