    You may want to explain further what "shared 80% of their DNA" means and on what definitions this measurement is build on. Given the often quoted "humans share 95% of their DNA with chimpanzees" (which would need further specification, too, to be useful), 80% would be remarkably low. Commented Sep 21 at 9:29

    Documenting preliminary research will improve both the probability of an answer and the quality of the answer(s). At a minimum, all questions should explain why Wikipedia is insufficient. Commented Sep 21 at 10:10

    Where did you develop the idea that Mycenean's shared 80% of their DNA with Minoans? on what basis do you find it hard to believe? I'm not disputing either notion, but history without sources is like science without units. Commented Sep 21 at 10:11

    Anyone that wishes to wade through some of the science can look at an article at the NIH: Genetic origins of the Minoans and Mycenaeans. Commented Sep 22 at 0:44
