Eurogenes-derived plot of South Italy, Greece, Balkans clusters

[Sikeliot]

As we see:

- The greatest outliers are among the South Aegean islands, Calabria, and a few Sicilians
- Aegean islanders and Sicilians overall plot together, in differentiated but very close clusters that overlap
- Some Central Greek and Peloponnese individuals plot alongside the cluster labeled Central South Italy, which is mostly Abruzzese, Apulians, etc.
- The rest of the mainland Greeks plot either with Albanians, or in the cluster labeled "South Balkans" which is like an eastern shifted version of North-Central Italians

Actually "South Balkan" plots East of Marche and Tuscany while North Italy is more Northern shifted...

Indeed. The northmost Northern Italians join also the Western-Central European cluster

Aegean islanders and southern Italians the same.

Aegean islanders and southern Italians the same.

Actually there is a clear differentiation as the Aegean islanders plot East of the Southern Italians on that plot.

If North Africans and Anatolians were on the map the difference is a slight shift of Anatolia in the Aegeans, and one of North Africans in the South Italians. Both are equidistant from Levantines overall there (some Dodecanese and Calabrians are outliers shifted that way though) But the Aegean islanders and South Italians are much closer to one another than either to mainland Greeks.

What I generally notice here is the Aegean islanders and South Italians are at the top of the plot (shifted toward the Levant) while the mainland Greeks are shifted toward the other Balkan regions and the North-Central Italians toward Western Europe. This is all very clear to me.
