    Sicilians themselves usually get 75% Europe, 25% West Asian on there if that is any indication, with the West Asian being more Middle Eastern rather than Caucasian.

    Sicilians seem to score about 15% MENA on 23andme, I wonder why it's higher on ancestryDNA. (i.e. I'm curious to see what the reference population for Italy/Greece is)

    I am unsure why. Probably due to who comprises the Italian/Greek sample. It must be less MENA shifted than 23andme's Italian cluster is, giving them on Ancestry DNA more excess MENA.

    What surprises me is, he looks neither Pontic nor Sicilian.

    He looks like some dark Pontians that pop up once in a while, I don't know if he is common in Sicily.

    I don't know what the fuck he looks other than that his style is really hideous BUT he looks neither Sicilian nor Pontic to me personally.

    If all Italians are MENA shifted, then why does AncestryDNA show any West Asian for them, given that their test is supposed to go back to 500 years ago, long after the MENA was mixed into Italian?

    Also, it wouldn't surprise me if the weird style/cosmetic things he does distort his actual phenotype to some extent.

    I don't know why.
