But I think the same would be true for Sicilians even if they have low IBD sharing with the isolated (RE: inbred) populations of southern Mani (who, FYI, also do not plot with Aegean islanders or Anatolian Greeks according to the study).
Sicilians have almost no NE European DNA, it would be shocking for me if they have any IBD sharing with Slavs above 2%. I do know from another IBD study they have IBD sharing with North Africa, though, but I am not on Anthrogenica anymore so I cannot access the link to show it. My guess is southern Italians would have more IBD sharing with the Levant than with Slavs, even. And the likelihood of IBD sharing with Slavs exceeding 10% is very, very unlikely.
This needs to be put in context. The Maniots might not share a lot with other southern Italians in IBD, but they shared more with southern Italians than with any other non-Greeks, and shared nothing with Levantines, French, NE Europeans, or Iberians of any significance.
