About the test
Are you ready to embark on a journey through some of the most formative and influential eras of the Western Balkans? Discover the legacy of medieval Serbian warriors, ancient Montenegrin communities, and the reconstructed genetic heritage of Petar Petrović Njegoš—the visionary Prince-Bishop of Montenegro. This compendium test series opens a window into your ancestral past by uniting three powerful genomic reconstructions, allowing you to explore how their stories, cultures, and legacies resonate through your lineage. From the fortified hilltop towns of medieval Serbia to the monumental Roman city of Doclea and the poetic highlands of Njegoš’s Montenegro, this compendium offers an unparalleled view of the peoples who shaped Balkan history, identity, and tradition.
What tests are included in this compendium?
This compendium merges three of our premier Balkan genomic reconstructions to represent distinct periods of cultural, political, and genetic development across the Adriatic and Dinaric world. Each test delves into the unique heritage, achievements, and historical significance of these communities—giving you the rare opportunity to explore your connection to Serbia’s medieval kingdoms, Montenegro’s Roman past, and one of its most iconic national figures.
- Medieval Serbia: Knights and Castles (550–1465 AD)
Step into the world of medieval Serbian fortresses, warrior-nobles, and royal courts. Explore the genetic legacy of the people who built stone citadels, fought in chivalric battles, and formed the foundations of the Serbian medieval state. This test reveals connections to a turbulent yet spectacular era, shaped by Slavic migrations, Byzantine influence, and emerging dynasties. - Montenegro: Roman Period (250–1100 AD)
Travel back to ancient Praevalitana, where Roman urban life, early Christian communities, and resilient highland traditions coexisted. Centered on the great city of Doclea and its Bjelovine necropolis, this test uncovers the genetic heritage of provincial Roman citizens and post-Roman populations who maintained continuity through shifting empires and the dawn of the medieval age. - Montenegro Prince-Bishop: Petar Petrović Njegoš (1813–1851 AD)
Connect to the reconstructed genome of Njegoš—the towering poet, philosopher, and ruler whose leadership and literary brilliance shaped modern Montenegrin identity. This test offers a unique opportunity to compare your DNA to one of the most influential South Slavic historical figures and explore your ties to the highland clans of the Dinaric mountains.
Each component of this compendium offers a uniquely immersive view into the lives, beliefs, and cultural achievements of the peoples who shaped the Serbian and Montenegrin world across nearly two millennia. You will receive a comprehensive profile integrating historical, archaeological, genealogical, and paleogenetic insights—revealing how warriors, poets, Roman citizens, and highland clans contributed to your ancestral story. Reconnect with these remarkable communities, whose legacies echo across Europe's history, and discover how your own lineage intertwines with this extraordinary past.
Why take this test
Before 2010, reading the DNA of ancient people was a distant dream. That changed when scientists sequenced the DNA of a Neanderthal who lived over 30,000 years ago. This breakthrough unlocked the secrets of ancient genomes from people who lived between 15,000 BC and 1800 AD, spreading paleogenomic research across time and continents. Now, a new generation of DNA testing no longer relies on modern populations as stand-ins for ancient tribes. Instead, it goes right to the source, using the DNA of the ancients themselves.
Ancient DNA Hub’s Tests are the first of their kind, crafted solely from the DNA of ancient peoples through our pioneering technology. With our tests, you will receive a uniquely detailed ancient ancestry report, pinpointing specific regions and tribal connections more accurately than ever. Imagine discovering lands, tribes, and empires where your ancestors lived, fought, created, and dreamed millennia ago. By merging genetic data with the knowledge of history and archaeology, Ancient DNA Hub brings the past to life—helping you connect to your heritage on the most personal level.
