Is Southern European admixture in Cyprus Greek?

[lonewolfcypriot]

Interesting. Looks like GCs have more Greek, Albanian and Italian than TCs

Precisely

[Teucer]

Precisely

There are differences, the paper I shared also documents them. All I am saying is that they are not as large as some might think. Even from your PCA plot you know Cypriots are more alike than not.

Anyone who is a real Greek has to cut the Turkish lies and manipulation as Heraklis cut the head of the Lernaia Ydra

Look Teucer, I know that you might be a bit biased and that is understandable. I myself have biases too but leaving that aside there seems to be an obvious genetic affinity between Italy and Cyprus. That is my conclusion.

I had experience from a young Greek Cypriot once.

I am filing this under anecdotal evidence.

SuperDorian, if your not going to contribute anything intelligent to the discussion then get the fuck out and stop wasting everbody's time please

The only intelligence you Turks have is in manipulating and influencing other people's minds

Thats what you have been doing and how you ruled over centuries

You have to settle down and keep your mouths shut

Otherwise the wrath of God will come one day over you and you will be seriously punished

Yes, both settled by Achaean Greeks.

Yes that is true.

Some nice Ancient Greek art

Also Cypriot one

Are you sure that conclusion is not more informed by your biases than evidence? If not, then you will try to find more evidence to prove yourself wrong to make sure you are in fact correct.

Cyprus definitely has an affinity toward Calabria, which is documented in the paper I shared, but whether that is a result of direct influence from Italy itself or more indirectly through other people is questionable. I have read of no mass migration of Calabrians to Cyprus.
