in our search for deepest Polish roots we inevitably coming to Balkan as Polish starting point. This goes for all the Sarmatians and we can say that their first steps on European soil, after Ice age was finished started from Balkan. That`s why there, on Balkan, Sarmatian name (by official linguistic science) was preserved in form of Serbian ethnic name. But, if we follow Danube river, we actually follow steps of first Sarmatians. That`s why on the line Balkan-Baltic, along the Danube river we always founding new traces of Serbian name as designation for ethoses (Lusatian and Balkan Serbs), as form of culture (Polish Sarmatism).
Obviously, Sarmatian name represent once universal Proto-Slavic ethic name. Bearers of Serbian/Sorbian name just preserved in use that old original, same way as Poles preserved memory on Sarmatism.
So, all Slavs, including Poles, are autohtonous (native) people on their own land, not some unknown newcomers invaders as Germanic scholars suggests in their science with pollitical background. But, not only that, Proto-Slavs were first Europeans, maybe even ancestral race of all Europeans.

pp. 93-95: From the second half of the fifteenth century, Ducas, in his History of the Byzantines, shows a warm emphathy for the Serbs:
In that same year Orkhan, the ruler of the Turks, died bequeathing his dominion to his son Murad who, having become the master of the Thracian cities, besieged Adrianople and took possession of all of Thessaly with the exception of Thessaloniki. Since he now held practically all the lands of the Romans, he advanced to the Triballi [Serbs].
here, we mentioned Thracians/Tribally designated as Serbs, in old Byzantine chronicles
Thracians according Herodotus:
Spot this:
TriballiThe Triballi were an ancient Thracian tribe whose dominion was around the plains of south Serbia and west Bulgaria, at the Angrus and Brongus (the South and West Morava) and the Iskur River, roughly centered where Serbia and Bulgaria are joined.
This Thracian tribe has etymologically been connected with the Serbs, as many medieval Byzantine historians referred to the Serbs as the Triballians (Serbian name for Triballians is "Srblji, Thracians is rašani - the first Serbian state was Rascia, present-day Serbia). Trebinje, a present city of Herzegovina and historical Serbian principality (Travunija, Triballia) has also been connected with this tribe. The Triballi had received influences from Celts, Scythians and Illyrians.

RaciRaci (Раци, Hungarian: Rác, (pl.) Rácok, German: Ratzen, Raize, (pl.) Raizen, Ratzians, Rasciani, Rascians) was a name used to designate Serbs, or sometimes, in a wider perspective, all South Slavs, in the Middle Ages and the early modern times. The name was primary used by Hungarians and Germans and it derived from the name of medieval Serbian principality - Raška (Rascia). The southern parts of the Pannonian Plain were also named Raška (Rascia in Latin, Ráczság or Ráczország in Hungarian and Ratzenland or Rezenland in German).

If someone, for example, asked ancient (all to the middle age) Serbs who are LEDJANI, only answer would be ``its our own people that once in deep past went to the north, on frozen lands``. Yes, LEDJANI is Serbian form of LECH, oldest Polish ethnic designation and means `people from the ice`.
So Poles, Serbs would tell you that Poles originate from Balkan, that early Polish ancestors along the Danube river slowly (after Ice age was finished, some 12.000 years ago- in that time already Slavic speaking!) dispersed from Balkan to what is today`s Poland and further. In that part of Europe, on the north of Europe, ancestors of Poles were first Whites, pioneers that conquered nature of Europe, not other Europeans.
There are also other branches of Proto-Slavs that bypassed Anatolia and Balkan on their historical path and arrived in Europe via Caucasus/Eurasia (i don`t speak of Russians here, considering that genetic science confirmed that Russian genetic stock came from Poland). That other branch later mixed with the Danubian branch, contributing to all today existing Slavs. Anyway, its just ancient story of inter-Slavic migrations. But Balkan is the main source, ancestral place for bulk of our population. And, that ancient Proto-Slavic Balkan-Baltic Danubian line gave roots to the Western civilization.
