"South Italy" on a lot of these runs means Calabria. Minor as it might be, there was almost no recent northern influences into Calabria, and as such they are even more Near Eastern than Sicilians.

Interesting thing is Central Sicily here comes out more Near Eastern and less WHG than any other part of Sicily, but phenotypically they seem lighter than the rest of the island to me.

From my understanding on this run, "East Sicily" is Syracuse, "West Sicily" is Trapani, and "Central Sicily" I have heard is actually Caltanissetta or Palermo, not Enna. This would make sense.

I forget who but someone else told me it was Calabria. It is definitely not Apulia, because Apulians on 23andme plot nearer mainland Greeks, and not as far south as Sicilians.

Agreed. This proves that choice of sample must still be improved. Margin of error on small percentage can still be very high.

Agreed. This proves that choice of sample must still be improved. Margin of error on small percentage can still be very high.

I think it shows there is minor Lombard or Norman in Sicily and that without it, they'd be more like the South Italy sample (which, to the best of my knowledge is Calabria). Apulians I have seen results for are more Greek-like.

I don't think it's that, mate. In total 30 Sicilians and 18 Southern Italian were sampled. The results aren't really surprising.

Sikeliot
03-22-2015, 01:32 AM
In general on these samples, this is what each usually means, from what I have been told.

"Greek Islands" = Dodecanese
"West Sicily" = Trapani
"East Sicily" = Syracuse
"South Italy" = Calabria

Dodecanese and Calabria always come out close together, and then Cretans and Sicilians a marginal amount north shifted from both. Then comes all of the mainland Greeks, other Italians etc. The same is true on 23andme.

Nurzat

so all Mediterraneans are 50 to 70% Near Eastern, 20 to 40% Western Hunter-Gatherer and 5 to 10% Ancient North Eurasian (minus Sardinia, which has none)

also excluding French, Ashkenazi, Sephardi and Cypriot scores, for obvious reasons (too Northern, too Eastern, too mixed)

You're right, Sicily was partially repopulated and this could be a reason. If the South Italy sample is from Calabria is obvious that S. Italian population has more Near East than the Sicilian reference groups, because it works to me that Calabria can have more NE than Sicily. Anyway Calabria I don't think is a good proxy for all south Italy, because is closer to Sicily than anything else in my opinion (and Calabria wasn't repopulated like Sicily).

But as we see, they are very similar -- the South Italy and Sicily samples. The difference is minor, so repopulation must not have been as large as we think. Consider also that the primary repopulation of Sicily came from the southern Italian mainland. There are some parts of Sicily I have seen have similar results to Calabria. Messina, and part of Palermo.

I don't think any part of Sicily or Calabria would score like mainland Greece. Apulia would, I think.

When Crete is a reference sample on some calculators, Sicilians score it second, or some even score it before Sicilian. Which means they are very similar.

Except no. Apulia and Campania would not score more Near East than Sicily. They don't on 23andme, and individual results I have seen on Dodecad also do not.

Calabria is the only region of southern Italy with such scores. Apulians are shifted toward mainland Greece.

This works well for me: Calabria has more Near East than Sicily due to the migrations from mainland Italy to Sicily.

But that Sicily has less Near East than Apulia, Campania, Basilicata, Molise, Abruzzo sounds very strange to me.

I won't say so that Southern Italians on the western side of the peninsula look identical to those on the eastern side honestly in part due to the Apennines that divided pocket populations thus changing some of the genetic structure of the 2 regions as for Puglia and Campania

Sikeliot

No, but genetically their rates of Northern to Near East are similar from what I see.

Apulia and Abruzzo look a bit more Greek-like (Balkan influence) and Campanians look a bit more western. But all in all, the differences are not huge scale.

Definitely not.

I believe that most Southern Italian samples were indeed like Sikeliot suggests extracted from Calabresi and thus makes all Southern Italians together score higher Near Eastern on average.

My guess would be that Campanians, Abruzzesi and Pugliesi alike would score similar to West Sicilians as for Near Eastern.

Bagot

Why not? Even between northern Calabria and southern Calabria there are slight differences.

The difference in Sicily & South Italy is small. You guys are splitting hairs. Sicily has some more non-Euro ancestry & a little more WHG perhaps being an Island population, which gives a little difference.

The sample size isn't big also, pointed out.

"Greek" is used for all island samples, so crete is in there. From what Sikeliot has shown so far they seem to be quite southward plotting, quite so compared to all mainlanders.

And yes, Central Greece refers to Peloponnesus and this region. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Greece#/media/File:Location_map_of_CentralGreece_%28Greece%29.sv g) Everything to the north is Greek_Thessaly.

"Greek" on there is an island composite? If so they are less Near Eastern than the Sicilians, and probably also include a lot of the more northern islands like Chios, Samos and Lesbos.

I don't see how anyone could expect Apulia to be more Near Eastern than Sicily. I think the Apulians would be similar to the Central Greece sample.

Depends where you want to start. The reason those 3 were picked as the main contributors European ancestry, as are quite different.

The Hunter Gatherer found in Spain was majority WHG & closer to a Lithuanian. WHG is the oldest.

The Neolithics and Near Eastern DNA has been in Europe for thousands of years, they match closest with Sardinia.

ANE most likely comes from R1b Yamnaya types. The ancestor of large part of Modern Y-DNA signatures all over Western Europe. Yamnaya interestingly found largely in modern Udmurts, whom have lots of red hair.


Europe has been molded well after these people came in. It would be difficult to say who was most European. It is more of a cultural construct.

So Campanians (and probably Apulians) are closer to the Abruzzo sample than the Sicilians. Which means what was said before: if you removed the more recent northern influences out of Sicily, they'd be like Calabria.

I will also point out that some regions of Sicily would score like Calabria. Others less so. I have seen people from Trapani scoring elevated northern input (thus placing them near Abruzzo probably) and some people from Palermo and Messina scoring more like Calabrese.

Intresting that they had so high WHG and ANE. Does that mean ''Indo-Europeans'' might actually have brought back a bit of mesolithic European HG ancestry retained in their urheimat to some parts of Europe?

I know alot of people have previously thought of Indo-Europeans as some kind of southern, neolithic, recent arrivals almost a bit ''non-european'' as implied by ''Indo'' in the name. I remember learning in school back in the day that Indo-Europeans were thought of as some kind of recent, almost colonialistic people to Europe, guess they were very wrong in that regard.

It means exactly that. Even neolithic remains from Sweden - Gokhem remains - resemble modern day Sardinians. The Indo-Europeans as they were in Europe were WHG, ANE and some South Asian (SEA) + Neolithic.

It was just one population out of 3 that was very ancestral to europeans everywhere in different proportions. Would be kinda hard to model their autosomal makeup in exact comparison with our own.

Yeah but some lovely people have done analysis on ancient remains, which is where I'm getting my stats from.

That's actually really cool. Would make for a decent movie plot. ''The Mesolithic Man's Revenge''

Those neolithic ''sardinian like'' remains didn't really bring a complete demographical change though. There were still majority WHGs at the same time in Scandinavia, right? I wonder if they lived there for long without mixing or interfering much with eachother.

Oh god not this shit again. "greek" doesnt stand for only islanders. arent you tired of trying to nordify your people? you want only thessaly_greek samples to represent greece dont you? because other "greek" samples are more near eastern and not northern enough. i know greeks are mish mash of everything and ethnicity in name only but greeks on this forum are too fucking obsessed with being "northerner" although they are tge woggiest nation in europe along with sicilians lol

greek samples should be collected from northernmost territories because greek members dont want subhuman central or southern greeks to represent them in spreadsheets. not to mention fucking inferior islanders who should be exterminated according to nordicist greek members LOL.


Why dont you just hire some german men to fuck your women? that would put an end to this embarassment LOL

1) Thessaly is not in northern Greece. It's centrally located.
2) The VAST majority of Greeks live on the mainland and are thus closer to Thessalians than to Cretans and Rhodians, who combined make up like 5% of the Greek population.

No? Thessaly is in the north. But yes, most Greeks are mainlanders. Central Greece would apply to them too.

If we had Cretans and Rhodians, they'd come out similar, respectively (IMO) to "East Sicily" and "South Italy".

Since populations were brought up. Thought i'd post where most are located. Whatever this means.

The lower half of the mainland (central_greek) is exactly the same as the island/generalized greek cluster though.

Ok so Thessaly is probably representative of northern Greeks (and apparently close to Albanians), and southern Greece would be somewhere between Albanians and the Sicilians (probably like the Abruzzese results). Then islanders would be more like the Sicilians and southern Italian sample.

Possibly. I'd wait for better structured samples though.

It's likely to be the case considering that on MDLP and other runs where Cretan is a choice, Sicilians often get that as their second, and sometimes even their first, option. But my point was that the majority of Greeks score closer to the Thessalian and Central Greek sample, since islanders are literally a drop of water in a bucket as far as the Greek population goes.
