I14689 Cinamak EBA 23andme format

Deep in the Early Bronze Age, around 2555 BC, an individual known to archaeogenetics as I14689 lived in what is now Kukës, Albania. His genome represents a massive turning point in Balkan prehistory, carrying over 70% Yamnaya-related Western Steppe Herder ancestry. This makes him the earliest known individual in Albania to show such a massive genetic shift, likely representing the first waves of proto-Illyrian migrations into the region. 

In this video, we break down his genetic coordinates using the G25 and the custom andreimix mapper utility (where he plots closest to modern Moldovans and Hungarians). We also explore a comprehensive trait prediction profile—ranging from his physical appearance (black hair, medium brown eyes, and a strongly Greek nose shape) to his cognitive and health traits. 

Discover his "warrior" COMT/MAOA profile, dopamine receptor density, lactose intolerance status, and unique immunogenetic defenses—including a rare protective HLA-C variant common in Southern Europe.
