North African and Neareastern geneflow in Europe

[Insuperable]

That's because East med has something more related to SSA and more related to European at the same time. Yet peak more around the Levant (next to Syria, Lebanese), than Red_Sea (Saudi, Bedouins)

What is the reference population here for NE Africa? Somalians and such? If so I am surprised Red Sea isn't closer to NE Africa.

Somali & Ethiopians. It is slightly closer on a pca but not on fst (it's a relationship not a distance).

Just like if you mix, say, a Somali and a Swede, the guy is gonna have a great relationship with N.Europe (he is half), but still gonna be half African and far from any European. Not implying this is the case for East_med, the difference is of course more subtle but the idea is the same, it's a more polarized element. The fact West_med challenges even Baltic in its "un-relationship" with both West and East African, tells enough.

Amusing fact, if someone could score only 50% West_Med and 50% Baltic, he would be the closest ethnically to Germans on a pca and the most unrelated person to African in W.Eurasia. Fuel for thoughts.
