Who differ most genetically -- Mainland Greeks, Sicilians, or Aegean islanders?

[Sikeliot]

Obviously I know the answer. Asking to prove a point because some don't want to accept the truth.

[MysteriousWays]

Of these groups, mainland Greeks.

Well obviously. But Raine and cybernautic insist on denying any mainland/island difference in Greece, and insisting Sicilians are close to mainland Greeks when they aren't, with the exception of isolated people in the far southern Peloponnese.

The denial of scientific evidence is truly astonishing. And by that I mean, frustrating.

"Close" is a matter of perspective. Overall, when looking at a map of Europe, Sicilians and all Greeks are relatively close to each other. But when comparing the three groups you mentioned, yes, mainland Greeks do differ.

I agree with this.

Cybernautic denies it not me. But despite the differences of these groups they are still related to each other.

[catgeorge]

Sicilians without a doubt.

[wvwvw]

Sicilians without a doubt.

No. I plot far away from both Aegean islanders and Sicilians, and together with other mainland Greeks.

Yeah but still far away from Balkan Slavs. Check your MDLP K23 results

None of them differ. All of them are the same Mongol+MENA admixture. This is basic mathematics, kids: MONGOL+MENA²=MED³

Stop quoting my name in threads where i don't post idiot

Who cares

Greek is Greek

I'll amend my comment-- SE Sicily is closer to Peloponnese than to other Sicilians or islanders.

[Alessio]

Mainland Greeks, as supported by several population geneticists. Although in terms of IBD, I think Sicilians would be more different as the genetic relatedness between the population groups is much older.

Or to say it the other way around Peloponnese is closer to SE Sicily than to other Balkan countries.
