Highest frequencies:    North Indians 48%-72%, Ishkashimi 68%, Tajik/Khojant 64%, Sorbs 63%, Kyrgyz 63%, Hungarians 20.4%-60%, Poles 56%, Ukrainians 41.5%-54%, Altayans 38%-53%, Pashtuns 40%-45%, Russians 47%, Belorussians 39%-46%, Persians 35%

The name of the nation is probably connected with the Polish word “stepson” (Polish: pasierb) and originally meant tribesman (the one who sucked milk of the same mother  ). The question of kinship of Balkan Serbs and Lusatian Sorbs is not accidental. According to one of the hypotheses, in the 5th century, after leaving their proto-Slavonic homeland, common ancestors of all Serbs and Sorbs divided into two groups. One of the groups (the ancestors of the Serbs), known as the White Serbs, reached the Balkans through the Carpathian Mountains under the leadership of the Unknown Archont, whilst the others settled in the middle part of the Elbe and become 'Sorbs'. The story depicted in Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitos' De Administrando Imperio tells that a brother of the Archont had remained in what is today Lusatia with a part of the Serb people. It is unlikely that the name Serb developed in both of these two groups separately. The name Lusatia (German: Lausitz), originally meaning marshy ground probably derives from the Slavic word ług (grove, young forest), at the same time indicating that the regions surroundings were rich in forest. Sorbs call themselvs Serbs (Serbja, Serby), and Balkan Serbs are referred to as South Serbs. Serbs call Sorbs - Lusatian Serbs (Лужички Срби, Lužički Srbi).

In the Balkans, it is found in Greeks: 13.5%[55]-22.8%,[39] Albanians: 17.6%,[39] Romanians: 13%,[54] Slovenes: 21%,[50] Bulgarians: 17.0%,[41] Croats (mainland): 15.7%,[56] Serbs: 10.6%,[56] Herzegovinians: 3.6%,9.0% in Cypriots[41], [56] Bosnians: 1.4%.[56]

Serbs are generally of "Balkan genetics", contributed by people dominating the Balkans before the Slav arrival (i.e. Greeks, Romans, Illyrians, Thracians, Dacians and even the Goths, an East Germanic tribe).

The subbranch E3b1-a is present at high frequencies among the Greeks, Serbs and South Italians (up to 25%). Subclade J2f1 is at 2.5% in Serbs and Slavic Macedonians. I1b* is at 29-32% in Serbs, Macedonians and Croats, as low as 3% in Macedonian Roma and Kosovar Albanians, as high as 63% in Herzegovinians. The R1a is the same in Macedonians and Serbs at 15% and close to Herzegovinians at 12%, notable gap between the Albanians (4%) and Croats (35%). Bosnian Serbs are closer to Bosniaks than to Croats, the J haplogroup is 9% in Serbs and 12% in Bosniaks and almost non-existent among Croats. I-P37 is higher in Croats (71%) than in Serbs (31%) and Bosniaks (44%).

The modern Slavic peoples come from a wide variety of genetic backgrounds. The frequency of Haplogroup R1a [2] ranges from 63.39% by the Sorbs, 56.4% in Poland and 54% in Ukraine, to 15.2% in Republic of Macedonia, 14.7% in Bulgaria and 12.1% in Herzegovina.[16][17] Haplogroup R1a may be connected to the spread of Proto-Indo-Europeans (see Kurgan hypothesis for more information).

A new study[18] studied several Slavic populations with the aim of localizing the Proto-Slavic homeland. The significant findings of this study are that:

   1. Two genetically distant groups of Slavic populations were revealed: One encompassing all Western-Slavic, Eastern-Slavic, and two Southern-Slavic populations (north-western Croats, Slovenes), and one encompassing all remaining Southern Slavs. According to the authors most Slavic populations have similar Y chromosome pools - R1a, and this similarity can be traced to an origin in middle Dnieper basin of Ukraine from Ukrainian LGM refuge 15 kya.[19]
   2. However, some southern Slavic populations such as Serbs, Bosniaks, Montenegrins, Macedonians, and Bulgarians are clearly separated from the tight DNA cluster of the rest of Slavic populations. According to the authors this phenomenon is explained by "...contribution to the Y chromosomes of peoples who settled in the Balkan region before the Slavic expansion to the genetic heritage of Southern Slavs..."[20]

Northern Eastern Slavs are distinguished by the presence of Y Haplogroup N in their genome. Postulated to originate from Central Asia, it is found at high rates in Finnic peoples. Its presence in Northern Russians[21] attests to the Northern Eastern Slavic tribes mixing with Finnic peoples in northern Eurasia.
