After my DNA test for paternal ancestry, I know that my ancestors came around this time to the Balkans bringing agriculture from the Middle East. My haplogroup (E-V13) makes up around 30% of the population of (especially Eastern) Balkans (Marija Gimbutas's "Old Europe") Therefore, they most likely participated in the Vinča culture. Thank you to Mr. Pušić and Mr. Tasić and KUD Vinča for raising awareness about our true ancestry.
