REFLECTIONS OF HISTORICAL PROCESSES ON THE POPULATION STRUCTURE OF THE EASTERN ADRIATIC
Abstract
Looking beyond the concept of national canons and their selective forgetting of mixed and hybrid pasts, the aim of the paper is to look at the Eastern Adriatic in an anthropological perspective as a historical space which has been shaped by the complexity of migratory processes and interactions between the components of the “eternal triangle” (heredity, environment and culture). We will present the comprehensive results of the holistic anthropological research conducted for several decades in the area, based on the belief that human evolution and variability can be understood only by the simultaneous study of biological and socio-cultural phenomena. The current findings of mitochondrial and DNA Y chromosome lineages of the population of Eastern Adriatic are interpreted with particular emphasis on population exchange, short-term and long-term migration movements, the form of selection of reproductive partners, the assessment of possible founder effects, as well as on cultural and linguistic convergence and divergence factors.
