Yeah, I look at a lot of Lebanese and Palestinians results and they are similiar but with Palestinians being more NA/Arabian.

My sister took 23andme results earlier and she had 87% West Asian(all from Lebanon/Syria) and 13% North African/Arabia but that was not specified. I thought that the NA came from Jordan but my Mother's family grew up in Egypt so that were some came from.

Do you have Muslim ancestry (you know what I mean)?

No, we are all Maronite and Melkite. What my mother told me was that Alexanderia, where she grew up, was a multi ethnic society of Syrians, Armens, Greeks, etc.. but was all kicked out by the time Nasser took to power.

My mother's sister married a Muslim from Egypt. Her son was actually 15 years older than I was and came to America to visit. He stayed in my room and sometimes I would see him pray around 4 or 5 in the morning while I would be waking up.

I really think they should be working on a Levantine population already instead of assigning Levantines with large chunks of Caucasian.

Interesting that you score no Greek/Italian, afaik most Levantines do.

As far as I know they fixed that after the update. Now they score a mix of Middle East and the Caucasus.

Yeah, my closet genetic relatives score Italian and Greek, but thier matches haven't been updated yet.

I think Turkey/Caucasus score is pretty typical though I did see some score 54% Turkey/Caucasus. Not sure where they were from.

I should be able to download my raw data when I come home and hopefully I can get my GED results soon.
