Obviously Cypriots identify as Greeks, but how much Greek ancestry do they have?
This is where everyone clusters:
http://abload.de/img/mfa_eurogenes_mdszzo3v.png
And this is, from a Dodecad run, the average genetic results of south Greeks (think Peloponnese) versus Cypriots.
South Greece:
North European: 21.27%
Caucasian-Near Eastern: 35.47%
North African: 1.45%
Caucasus-Gedrosia: 8.13%
SW Europe: 19.20%
Arabic: 6.16%
Cypriots:
Northern European: 3.97%
Caucasus-Near Eastern: 44.94%
North African: 2.41%
Caucasus-Gedrosia: 14.77%
SW Europe: 15.40%
Arabic: 11.20%

Yes it is slightly closer to Southwest Asian than it is to Neo African. It's an anciently mixed component. It's like on how 23andme a lot of Moroccans don't get much SSA because it's hidden in the North Africa component. East African hides Southwest Asian admixture and people assume it to be a fully SSA component when it's a mix. If it was fully SSA, it would plot near neo African.

Yes, it's closer to the Caucasoid components than to the negroid components, and add to that, Horners already have 50-60% Southwest Asian, so overall they're predominantly Caucasoids.

The Southwest Asian is included in the Horner component and so is the SSA. It's a mixed component. They are slightly more Caucasoid than the other but I would say that component is around 43% SSA and 57% Southwest Asian AKA mixed. Horners just choose to ignore genetic studies they don't like because it goes against their agenda of being the first human beings.... They also don't understand the concept of ancient admixture.

Look at these Tutsis who are predominantly East African, and don't have the Southwest Asian Horners do.

If Cypriots were mostly Greek, they would have more Northern European, yes. If Greeks on average from the continent have 20% (discounting that northern Greeks have like 27-30%), Cypriots have 7x less Northern Euro than mainland Greeks, and 10x less than northern ones.

I'm going to make one final attempt to try and convince people that Cypriots ARE Greeks and the claim we are less than 50% Greek is pure ignorant.
The first thing you have to consider is regions. The city of Limassol (Lemesos) is very well known for having a large settlement of Pontic Greeks. If you were to compare the DNA of Pontic Greeks to the DNA of people from Limassol, I think you'd find that they are extremely similar. My Dad's area is known for having a large settlement of Greek Islanders and I can indeed trace part of my ancestry back to Lesvos. The reason you see huge differences between how some Cypriots look is because Cyprus was conquered many times and different people settled in different places.
Second of all, I think Cypriots may be quite close to whatever the Ancient Phoenicians were. But let's remember the Phoenicians were heavily involved in the Hellenistic world and part of the Greek alphabet was based on the Phoenician language. I see some 'Levantine' features that fit in Lebanon, but compared to the average Syrian and especially Jordanian, we look NOTHING LIKE EACH OTHER. I'm being serious, if you walked through Nicosia and walked through Amman you'd see how drastically different people looked.
Thirdly, if Cypriots aren't Greek, then Sicilians aren't Italian and Andalusians aren't Spanish. I feel we get picked on a lot, and most of us feel far closer to to the 'motherland' than Sicilians do to Italy for example.
So yeah, we may be partly Levantine, maybe even 1/4, and in the atypical case I've seen some that could pass as extremely swarthy West Asians, but the majority are 70-100% Greeks.

I agree. Cypriots are Greek, because that's their language, culture, identity.. but I have yet to see even one Cypriot get a genetic result akin to other Greeks. Not to mention Pontians are not genetically Greek either, they are close to Armenians and Georgians.

A few thousand years, the European lifestyle underwent a dramatic change: gatherer societies were gradually replaced by the first farming communities. Research published in the journal «Science» has now discovered that the first farmers of northern Europe were probably immigrants from the Mediterranean, have genetic similarities to the current population of Greece, Italy and Cyprus.

Nope. You keep repeating this after I explained the Druze have Arab, and Iranian blood.
Just becuase the Druze religion sort of has an Iranian origin, doesn't mean they're actually mixed with Iranians. As posted above, they're definitely the quote-on-quote 'purest' Levantines.
And the Southwest Asian/Red Sea =/= Arabic/Arabian.
I know that. I said they had ARAB, and Iranian admixture. Cypriots, and Levantines are both European admixed, Cypriots just have more because they aren't mixed with Arabs like you.She's not 'mixed with Arabs'. Her Levantine side of the family is not even quote-on-quote 'Arabized'. Her maternal grandfather's family were Mizrahi Palestinians.
Then why do genetic tests show them to be around 43% SSA with the rest Southwest Asian? Ancient mixture.Very true. Most East African ethnicities are basically half Southwest Asian half East African on these tests. Southwest Asian peaks in Bedouins and East African peaks in Nilotics. So Horners are pretty much very ancient Bedouin/Nilotic hybrids whether people admit it or not.
Impossible. They would have close to 20% North European if that were true. Cypriots are even less European than Sephardic Jews.Possible. Cypriots and Sephardics cluster pretty close together on most of these tests.
Proof that Azkhenazi Jews and Siclians are essentially the closest to the original levantines.As you can see above, Ashkenazi and South Italian is only second lowest and third lowest respectively on my high East Med cluster scale that I have posted. So much for your invalid theory.
Samaritans are.Along with Lebanese, Druze, and Palestinians.:thumb001:
No they aren't. They have some Iranid and Arabid traits. Palestinian Christians less so, but I've seen ghassinind influence in some of them:blah:
The traits Samaritans have are indigenous to the Levant.Pretty much. Claiming any more or any less would only be false pretenses.
Most of it, but there's some Arabid and Iranid. Cypriots are the most representative, and thus so are Sicilians and the Azkhenazim. Deal with it!You are really butthurt, aren't you?!

According to the stats, Lebanese Druze, Lebanese Christian, and Samaritans are the most Levantine.

Possible. Cypriots and Sephardics cluster pretty close together on most of these tests.
Nope. Again, even South Greeks have 20% North European, while Cypriots only have about 3%, so that means Cypriots are less than 25% Greek at least.

Cypriots:
40.16 East Med
19.60 West Asian
16.00 West Med
8.38 Red Sea
7.08 Atlantic
3.11 Baltic
2.08 North Sea
1.81 Eastern Euro
0.52 South Asian
0.49 Northeast African
0.35 Sub Saharan
0.28 Oceanian
0.09 Siberian
0.05 Southeast Asian

Cypriots should at least 16% Greek with that West Med score. And if you add the Atlantic, Baltic, North Sea, and Eastern Euro; it's a total of 14.08% European besides West Med. So they should be at least 30.08%.....
