Actually they look extremy similar. What's more, the levantine arabs have more Eastern-European, contrary to these fairy tales which say ancient levantines where supposedly more european looking and closer to Europeans, than modern ones.

Btw, basques and Sardinians were NOT used in this run. They were included AFTER the run, which means after the components were already settled based on the populations included. And you cannot talk of the mediterranean component as isolated, since it peaks in North-Italians and Spaniards. Once the sardinians were inlcuded after the initial run, they showed the highest frequency.
Yes, the ones who barely make it into Europe :

Yes, Loki. I think it not a coincidence a great many European Y-DNA lines had their likely origins in West Asia. And, in particular, the area where "West Asian" is at least ~50%. The Caucasus, E Anatolia, N Iran, and N Mesopotamia. Many varieties of J1, J2, R1b, T, G2a, and other European haplogroups have their greatest diversity in the area. Basically, the region in varying shades of blue, on simranjits' Jatt Gene "West Asian" map:

Anyways, the West-Asian component is minoritary in Europe, the average is about 8% for all Europe.
Also the program of professor Dr. McDonald doesn't count the Georgians/Caucasus as European, they have their own genetic group, I beleive it's something like Antaolian/Caucasus
Ok. I have worked out the kinks in my spreadsheet and have double checked the calculations of my personal results with Day Tripper. Here are the new charts:

The spreadsheet will be up next after I make it idiot proof.
Loki and I are Germanic, Kadu is a Med, Frederick is a Hunnic Viking, Pallantides is a Kelt incognito, Barrel is so Keltic it is ridiculous, and Bastarnae is a gypsy. :)
