Why bother stating religion? It has nothing to do with genetics.

[Sikeliot]

This person is further removed from Europe than some other Levantines. On PuntDNA-L many Lebanese and Palestinians get Sicilians or Ashkenazim in their top 20. This person does not get either.

Because they are said to have Greek input.

[Sikeliot]

Because they are said to have Greek input.

It is clear from the result that they do not. If anything they have an excess of SW Asian.

[catgeorge]

Nothing Greek about that results other than loosely matching with heavy Levantine Cypriots.

[Sikeliot]

I am starting to wonder if Christian Levantines have higher SW Asian, because the fact that there is higher SSA in the Muslims and some degree of Western European in them (Norman?) makes them shift closer to Europe.

[StonyArabia]

Some Greek Orthodox Arabs are of Bedouin stock. There are even some in Jordan, parts of Syria and even Iraq they got assimilated into other Christian groups. They tend to be dark skinned. In Jordan they still keep their Bedouin traditions despite being influenced by Christianity.

This guy seems just levantine with some Arab input.

none of these lebs seem to be any different from each other genetically
