i knew that you are most likely to have european ancestry
you are one of the lightest Levantines i know , congratulations brother
that's a good result .
His results indicate native Near Eastern ancestry, nothing European here. As for his pigmentation, it's part of the variation in the Levant (and more generally in the MENA region). In the same family, one brother can look swarthy while the other can look pale, or the parents can be dark and the children pale (or any combination).
Congrats on your Neolithic ancestry.
I would imagine it represents a very ancient presence of Caucasians in the Near East and Europe. I would imagine a higher percentage exists in Europe either due to Neolithic or other migrations or because they were more protected in Europe against other waves of migration than in the Near East.
Is the Rabbi Ashkenazi?
Is the presence in Ghana associated with Lebanese there?
Cool results bro.

Very common amongst Iraqi Jews. Very rare in other groups. True ancient Hebrew.
