Greeks, Romans, Slavs, Ottomans, and dozens of others all left something behind, written not in stone or ink but in the genetic code of living people.\u003cbr\u003eWhat you are about to discover will change how you see identity, ancestry, and what it truly means to belong somewhere.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is for history lovers, ancestry enthusiasts, and anyone who has ever wondered where we truly come from. It is also for anyone who believes the past is distant, because the Balkans will prove that it lives inside us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47890436194455,"sku":"9798198546691","price":1277.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798198546691.webp?v=1781180012","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-balkans-ten-thousand-years-of-migration-ancient-dna-and-the-civilizations-that-forged-europe-9798198546691","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
