The swarthiest Europeans - say which group and why.

They're not even all the same genetically. Cypriots are almost full blown Levantines. Cretans are similar to Sicilians.

levant is close to cyprus

but cypruses are greeks i have cyprus friends. they are very nationalists

Gibraltars, Cypriots.. but overall Greeks

Doubtful people in Epirus and Thessaly are darker than the people in Calabria....

Ok but Cretans/Dodecanese are close to both Sicily and Ashkenazim genetically, not mainland Greeks who will be plotting at the north of that red box...

I didn't say that they are not close to sicilians or askhenazi, however, they ate equidistant to cycladians, and cycladians are closer to mainland

All this is depicted as Greek dna in the diagram, and includes all Greeks except of Cypriots, maybe pontics too

[Sikeliot]

Do you have a PCA with Maltese on it fam?

No but on GEDmatch they are closest to Sicilians especially since their ancestry almost all comes from Agrigento and Caltanissetta provinces.

What you seem to be evading is that Cretans are not close to mainland Greeks, they are closer to Sicilians. Even Cyclades are shifted toward Sicily, but are between them/Cretans and the mainland.

i said overall based on my morphes mostly

[Lavrentis]

cypriots cretans and islands are greeks. they are european

Cypriots are not European, genetically they are close to the Levant.

Yes, and since there is not any non Greek population either between mainland and cyclades or between Crete and cyclades, all of these populations are in the Greek genetic frame

Your morphes included people from National teams, which in Greek case include even romani people
