| Summary: | The paper presents immediate results of a multidisciplinary research into
ethno genesis, that is, the origin of the Serbs and the Serbian population,
based on genetic indicators. The most direct results of the carried out
survey are 85 haplotypes with 17 DYS markers/locuses of the respondents from
Aleksandrovac district, a representative area as it is in the very centre of
Serbian, Kosovo-Resava linguistic and cultural zone. Unlike previous texts
that the authors have written on this subject, this paper, for the first
time, presents actual results which correlate ethnological facts - starting
from older up to latest records on origin - with genetic results obtained
owing to the cooperation of the SASA Institute of Ethnography and the
Laboratory for DNA analysis of the National forensic centre at the Ministry
of Interior, Republic of Serbia. In this way, new findings, which could have
been summoned only by parallel use of ethnological and genetic information
(and which are given in the paper as clear proofs of necessity and
effectiveness of the applied methodological approach), are being obtained and
presented. Among other things, the given results of the preliminary survey
(compared with the latest relevant surveys by other authors and institutions)
indicate the dominance of 12a and R1a haplogroups, decisive in the
ethnogenesis of the Slavs, which matches common Serbian perception of the
Serbs as of a nation of the Slav language and origin.
