Do you think there is anyone in south Italy or the Aegean who plots outside of Europe?

[Sikeliot]

By this I mean, while we know there is a separate South Italian/Aegean islands genetic cluster,

do you think it is possible that somewhere in remote Sicily up in the mountains, or on some tiny Aegean island with a small untouched population, there are natives who are so genetically extreme that they fall outside of the European cluster and actually plot with West Asians?

I have seen some people who are outlying, but no one who is a wholesale West Asian.

Of all the outliers you have found, have none matched fully with Cypriots for example?

There was one person from Karpathos in the Dodecanese who plots closer to Cypriots than to other people (but at a distance) and a handful of Sicilians who score closest to Moroccan Jews. That's about it.

I mean is there anyone who plots even further than Cyprus or Moroccan Jews, and with actual Levantines or Armenians. I doubt it, but who knows.

Well, there very well could be, but this person's ancestry would clearly not be from Sicily or the Aegean. The Neolithic farmers who form the basis of these populations' ancestries were not West-Asian but West-Med, as you say

If the question is there anyone in Sicily or the Aegean who is fully Mycenaean or Sicanian (being just a mixture, more or less, of Caucasian and EEF) then no, I would say not.

[Bobby Martnen]

I doubt it.

You can find a lot of Sicilians who phenotypically pass in the Levant though.
