Genetically and phenotypically, are far southern Italians closer to northern Greeks or to Cyprus?

[Sikeliot]

cybernetic groups Sicilians in with people from of all places Thessaly and Epirus. Which makes no sense when those people shift 30% of the way to Russia.

Cypriots are more Levant shifted, but southern Italians have little Russian-like DNA, so that 30% makes a big difference.

[Voskos]

Cyprus.

1)I never grouped Sicilians with Epirotes.

2)I never claimed they are closer to northern Greeks than to Cypriots.

3)I won't go into any debate with you anymore.
As we both agreed after our last argument.
4)My name is cybernautic not cybernetic,it shouldn't be difficult for you to spell it correctly.
I also spell your name like it is "Sikeliot" and not Sikelidiot;)

5)Open as much of this threads as you want i won't post anything more there,since i'm done with it and not interested in it afterall.

But please stay fair,stop trolling me with this if i don't post in your threads and don't refer my name in this threads.
Ok!
Thanx

[Myanthropologies]

Cyprus duh

[CommonSense]

Cypriots for sure

[Arborean]

I want to say intermediate because sometimes I get Southern Italian groups in single and mixed mode, whereas Cypriot is very far off in single mode. Sometimes I get it in mixed though.

Yea. I find Luasz Maps to be far more accurate. You can even see in the correlation values that for me Cyprus is only a 60 percent match whilst Apulia/Abruzzo is between 85-90. Maybe Gedmatch is different but I find Lukasz maps to be impeccable compared to that. Even Sicily is between 70-85.

Albanian 4.355248
Cypriot 5.374903

All the far Southern Italian samples are closer to mainland Greeks than to Cypriots. I'm not 100% sure where these "Greek" samples come from but they are even closer to Albanians that Cypriots so I think its safe to say they're closer to pretty much all mainland Greeks.

So they are as I suggested intermediates. As your post suggests, and my correlation values show(with South Italians/Sicilians running intermediary between Cypriot and Greek and Albanian references).

I think its most accurate to say far southern Italians form a separate cluster to mainland Greeks, which has an increased affinity to the Cypriot cluster, but is still on average closer to the Greek/Albanian cluster than to the Cypriot cluster.

Makes sense. There are Greek and Albanian communities even in Sicily. I used to joke with my Sicilian friend and call him Albanian. He looks like he crawled out of the Balkans but is a shade darker lol.

They're pretty intermediate I would say. Crete and Aegean would be a closer match if listed.

[Arborean]

Even though its closer, Crete still runs intermediate between South Italy and Cyprus. Its just slightly more shifted towards Cyprus than Greece, but not significantly so. Just a little more than South Italy.

According to this it is Agrigento, Sicily which is closest to Cyprus.

In my experience Crete is intermediate among Sicilian clusters in that some parts of Sicily are more 'exotic' than Crete and others less.

[Sikeliot]

Even though its closer, Crete still runs intermediate between South Italy and Cyprus. Its just slightly more shifted towards Cyprus than Greece, but not significantly so. Just a little more than South Italy.

Blatantly untrue. Most Cretan samples I have are intermediate between mainland Greece and Sicily.

Also worth noting that it depends on who "east Sicily" and "west Sicily" are. If you used Messina, some parts of Palermo, or Agrigento you may find them closer to Cyprus than to some parts of mainland Greece. Syracuse/Trapani if used as the east/west Sicily samples are both closer to mainland Greeks.

I'm almost 100% sure Sicilian_West is Trapani because on PCA's its almost like Italian_Abruzzo. Sicilian_East on the other hand is "east/south shifted" of Italian_South, so I don't think its Syracuse.

Indeed, maybe the NE Corner of Sicily is closer to Cypriots (I definitely believe this is the case for Calabrese from Reggio and Vibo Valentia). Regarding Agrigento, if we assume Maltese are just Arabic speaking transplant Agrigentese...

Higher Caucasus in Crete and Cyprus explains that whereas Sicily has North African instead.

But I do think that Cretan sample is more outlying than most individual Cretans I have but I have also seen many Sicilians close to it.

I think Sicilians better match with North African Jews than Cypriots and may be closer to them than mainland Greeks, if you want a pseudo MENA group to compare to. Especially Moroccan Jews.

What Sicilians do match with that captures MENA input is not Cyprus but rather North African Jews I notice. Especially west Sicily .

[Sikeliot]

I also notice that many Greek islands plot somewhere between Sicily and Peloponnese and aren't as outlying as others. Why might that be? Maniots tend to plot with Apulians and Calabrians plot with Dodecanese instead.

BTW, the Greek samples on the Global 25 (the samples I used in the distances and PCA above) are the GREEKGRALPOP samples from Thessaloniki, Macedonia.

I do think genetics aside Sicilians LOOK more Cypriot than north Greek because the Slavic in the latter does show.

But Sicilians match SW Asian heavy MENAs not Caucasus heavy ones. North African Jews work better than Cyprus.

Actually the Global 25 puts the Greeks from Thessaloniki closer to the Sicilians and Italian_South sample than to North African Jews, though Moroccan Jews come close with Sicilian_East. Sicilian_East is also closer to Sephardim than to Thessaloniki Greeks though, and all are closer to Ashkenazim.

Strange that Cretans get another 16% Lebanese when Minoans are included. Modern Cretans are not more Middle Eastern than their Bronze Age version, they just have much more northern and more Caucasus admixture which shifts them northeast and lowers the EEF. Last month I compared Cretans against the highest quality Minoans using an amateur tool from GEDmatch:

Cretans (n=20) vs Minoans
33.198 Anatolian Farmer 25.3675
32.5775 Mediterranean Farmer 55.3425
17.9105 Middle Eastern Herder 19.29
14.3705 Baltic Hunter Gatherer
0.591 East African Pastoralist
0.471 East Asian Farmer
0.3445 Oceanian Hunter Gatherer
0.337 South Asian Hunter Gatherer
0.1245 North Eurasian Hunter Gatherer
0.046 South American Hunter Gatherer
0.0145 Pygmy Hunter Gatherer
0.008 Bantu Farmer

PS. Anatolian Farmer is actually Caucasus

Based on what I have seen the Maltese are exactly like Sicilians from Agrigento, Caltanissetta, and Palermo. So I do think "Maltese" there represents well that part of Sicily (they descend from them nearly in full). I could show you many Sicilian results on various calculators from these regions showing an increased affinity to North African Jews when compared to Thessaly ... see below where Algerian Jews and often even Tunisian/Libyan Jews come up versus Greek Thessaly, as these are good proxies.. this is MDLP K15.

If you look at my thread with SE Sicilian results, Thessaly comes up before Algerian/Tunisian Jews do, and the same is true for most people in Trapani. So you can see there is a part of Sicily where such influence is higher than the rest (Palermo/Agrigento/Caltanissetta).
