Genetics

What happened to the genetics section? Every nationality has one, why remove it?

Genetics According to one triple analysis – autosomal, mitochondrial and paternal — of available data from large-scale studies on South Slavs and their proximal populations, the whole genome SNP data situates Montenegrins with Serbs in between two Balkan clusters. According to a 2020 autosomal marker analysis, Montenegrins are situated in between Serbs and Kosovo Albanians. Y-DNA genetic study done in 2010 on 404 male individuals from Montenegro gave the following results: haplogroup I2a (29.7%), E-V13 (26.9%), R1b (9.4%), R1a (7.6%), I1 (6.1%), J2a1 (4.7%), J2b (4.4%), G2a (2.4%), Q (1.9%), I2b (1.7%), N (1.4%), H (1.4%), L (1.2%), and J1 (0.49%). A 2022 study on 267 samples from northeastern Montenegro found that the "most common haplogroups are I2 and R1b, both identified in 23.97% of samples, followed by E (22.47%), J2 (11.61%), I1 (6.74%), G2 (3.75%), R1a (3.37%), I1 (1.12%), G (1.12%), N (0.75%), C (0.37%), T1 (0.37%) and Q1 (0.37%)".

@Nikola1971: It has been brought back by Miki Filigranski in this edit. Perhaps Desemeus can explain what they mean by [t]he sourced [sic] are not trusted and it has nothing to do with identity of Montenegrins in this edit's summary. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 01:25, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Total population

How is it possible that the total population of Montenegrins in the world is 300,000 when there are 256,436 ethnic Montenegrins in Montenegro, and the Montenegrin diaspora numbers at least 150,000 people? Visaches 37 (talk) 03:23, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
