The slight peak of shared IBD segments between South and East-West Slavs suggests a shared "Slavonic-time ancestry". [56] The 2014 IBD analysis comparison of Western Balkan and Middle Eastern populations also found negligible gene flow between 16th and 19th century during the Islamization of the Balkans.
