And half of Greeks today are descendents of Turks, Bulgars and Italians, so what's your point? The region is still called Macedonia, just as North Cyprus is still Cyprus even though it's Turkish.

@AlexHellene How in the hell are modern Greeks the ancestors of ancient Greeks? I think you mean descendants... And yes, as a continuous culture, absolutely. As a homogenous genetic population with single ancestry? A definite OXI

@AlexHellene Sure But Greece has been the center of geopolitics for 2000 years (hellenics, romans, byzantines, ottomns) with large migrations to/from. I challenge you to do a 23 and me. You'll be surprised. And that's my point. Being Greek is foremost a culture and nationality - not a genetic purity test.

@AlexHellene I disagree. Whilst the examples you have given are relevant they are small potatoes compared to trade conquests and cultural exchange throughout 2300 years. Heck even the diadochi 2 generations later were barely Greek from a genetic perspective. Again. Do a genetic testing and then get back to me. I'm betting you're at least 1/3 asiatic. I don't know why Greeks and Jews always have to harp on about ethnic ancestry as if it gives you a claim you otherwise wouldn't have. The Slavic "North Macedonians" are here to stay. Good or bad. Immigrants have come and gone throughout the ages. Unless you're Icelandic or from Polynesia you'll find that everyone screws around and mingle the genes. And it is most definitely a good thing from a biological standpont. I'm from Denmark. An extremely homogenous population. And yet I'm betting that half the population can be traced back to somewhere in Germany/Poland/Scandinavia...
