Ancient DNA Reveals Hungarian Roots of Famous Hunyadi Family

The genetic origins of the Hunyadi family have been a subject of debate for centuries. Recent research by the Hungarian Institute for Human Genetics has shed new light on this topic. By analyzing the DNA of Johannes Corvinus and Christopher Corvinus, researchers have determined that their paternal haplogroup, E-V13, originated in East Eurasia around 7800 years ago. This haplogroup's presence in the Carpathian Basin predates the Hungarian Conquest. The study's lead researcher, Endre Neparáczki, stated, "The results show a strong genetic link to ancient Hungarian populations, supporting the theory of a primarily Hungarian origin for the Hunyadis." The findings challenge the Romanian nationalist narrative claiming a Romanian origin for the family. This research also highlights the complex genetic history of the Carpathian Basin, demonstrating the mixing of populations over millennia. Further research is needed to fully understand the intricate genetic tapestry of the region.
