A pre-print by non-specialists was uploaded about the origins of Albanians.

Despite its argument being that the main ancestry of Albanians comes from the IA W. Balkans, there are many factual errors and unsupported arguments throughout the pre-print

The underlined claim (Fig.1) is based on data analysis of 5 samples (Fig.2) and it's statistically valid (p<0.05) for the range 20-28% for only two of them. No statistical model with p<0.05 was valid for the rest, yet the pre-print supports a claim which is unsupported by data.
