The material he used was sent by me,just like the one about Sfakiots,I was new and naive back then and didn't know about his agenda,all the material is here now,let's see what others think ,this blog's admin who evidently and consciously manipulates original texts is not to be trusted.

Genetically all Tsakonian results i have seen posted on Apricity were rather South shifted for Mainland Greece
not extremely but reasonably.

Even Sikeliot says they are among the Mainland Greeks closest to Sicilians or South Italians

It's been 5 years so I don't remember much, I had them all put in a video uploaded here but none paid attention so I extracted them again and rearranged them in pics,as far as I remember I used tsakonian fb pages material&their members profile while verifying they are from tsakonian village,some screenshots from documentaries and google images.I'm quite a perfectionist so the possibility of errors in my threads is small :P

Many of them look like lighter Maniots or Cretans, others look Central European. I doubt anyone found many Tsakonian dna results but, in any case, genotype doesn't exactly equal phenotype.
Also gedmatch is bound to go nuts with isolated groups.

Yeah maybe but being light or not doesn show where you plot
Calabrians also often look lighter than their genetics say

And i doubt Tsakonian plot closer to Austrians or North Balkanians than to South Italian

Pretty sure that's northwest of Mani, southwest of most mainland.

It was also obvious that they drift towards a different direction than Mani/islands.

Alpine and Dinaric predominate. I think Meds in Southern Europe and Nordics in Northern Europe are highly overrated. Most Europeans in the South are not pure Mediterranid types.

In Italy and Greece they generally come mixed with predominant Alpinoid or Dinaric strains and in Iberia with Berid and similar CM types like Paleo-Atlantic.

Tsakonians and Maniots are genetically different

Both are genetically distinct somehow among the Peloponnesian Greeks but also different
from one another according to the Stamatoyannopoulos paper on Peloponnesian Greeks

They are both among the Peloponnesian regions with the least Slavic ancestry according
to the same paper

Greeks are predominantly Alpines and Meds

Dinarics are not uncommon but less so than Meds,Alpines or mixes of them.

And Dinarics in Greece are mostly in the form of Dinaro Alpines"Epirotic type" and Dinarized Meds"not uncommon in Crete or even Cyprus"
Pure Dinarics like those in Gheg Albanians are less common

I think Dorians were not Dinarics but predominantly Med and Alpine like rest of classic Greeks

Not even in Tsakonians there are more Dinarics than Meds let alone Maniots
About Sfakiots i don't know but i think their differences and distinctivness to the rest of Cretans are overrated
and genetically Sphakiots cluster with South Italians"like all Cretans do" more than with Albanians or Montengrins


Southern Italy had alot of Dorian colonies

Syracuse,Kroton,Tarantas all were Dorian city states

2.I just sent you a link that it says it does,what's your proof about Tsakonians being more meds if not fyletika's blog?I already told you what happened there.
3.I'll do a similar thread about sfakiots without the light ones this time and anyone can contribute,again fyletikas blogspot is not valid it has an agenda ,what samples are there for sfakiots?I think there's only a handful and probably you're right, but what's your point again?that similar to sicilians therefore meds?as it was said in the previous page genotype does not equal phenotype.

Whats your proof except quoting a particular Anthropologist who may have been biased as well?

And why should fyletika which has the reputation of being a Nazi site have a reason to mediteranize Greeks more than they are

Also the sources fyletika uses are independent from what the site is
I have posted you the link of Maniots being predominantly Mediterenean
And the source text of this is a German anthropoligist called Fritz Schiff who studied them
You can find his original text its online available for free and read what he says
Its in German but you can use a translator or something

Sfakiots,Cretans and other Greek Islanders have been tested in the Sarno study and fall into the South Italian Islands clusters
You can also ask mongrel who is a Sphakiot about Sphakiot results or haplogroups.
Besides other haplogroups Sphakiots have alot of J2a which is typical for Crete and not for Balkans.

Also mongrel himself plots with South Italians and Sicilians

Sikeliot posted some North shifted West Cretan results but they were from other parts of West Crete not from
Sfakia

Also why you so obsessed with Dinarics in particular?

Going by your picture i have seen you don't look Dinaric but more Dolicho just with light hairs and light eyes
But ok but pictures alone one never can tell
Without calipher everything is speculative :)

Biased on what the fuck exactly?measuring the skulls to have less or more cephalic index?we're not talking about fantasies here but actual measurements.
Why should it?Well why shouldn't it?we have original texts in this blog completely manipulated ,if you want me I can send you, now if a person is willing to manipulate texts which degraded mediterranean race and turned them into one where it sounds superior,what stops him from spreading more propaganda about whatever?are you playing dumb or are you?so independent sources is no argument if you don't read the original texts which I've no pleasure of doing just to expose that admin loser.
I don't remember that link of Maniots being Meds and what does this has to do with this thread?Send me again if it's important to your argument.
I don't doubt about Sfakiots being similar to these groups,I never spoke about genetically different Sfakiots ,none did although it'd be nice to have a study about them whatever they are along with Sarakatsanis&Karagounides
I'm not obsessed with anyone,I'm a skeptic,truth searcher and I like trolling narrow-minded people(like hellenas and fyletikas admin)and playing devil's advocate.

Though as I have mentioned, I also think North Aegeans and Cyclades are not "dark" and East Med looking either, let alone Levantine. So it is not a surprise really if Tsakonians aren't dark.

Greeks as a group are somehow darker and more Med looking than most Europeans and in my opinion
its not a bad thing.
On the other hand they look more European"wether dark or not" than their West Asian neighbours
And of course Cyclade Islanders have light types as well.

Most Greek groups have light and dark types among them

I was the first person here who pointed out that Islanders have light types as well and that its not a particular
Mainland thing.

The only person here who talks logically is me,you made me insult you when you threw dirt on me again like a katina,I'm talking to you honestly and you can't respect that and you keep talking about your own fantasy about me,so let me repeat If I was a nordicist or anything I'd admit it proudly,do you understand that idiot?or are you blinded by your hate of my arguments?
If you look at my post history,the first time I was involved with Hellenas was some days ago and I don't even remember the reason,he called me a northfag and then I destroyed him,I had something like 850 posts the previous week(these in about 5 years where others in months get thousands) even before I join this forum I ignored Hellenas posts because it was just about copy-paste so I didn't even knew what was the dispute between him and others,do you understand?
Again you show how fucking stupid you are,who compared Cretans with Karagounides what a paranoia and wordsalad?fucking idiot again ,I talked about Karagounides because they are an isolated group claimed to be aeolic and it'd be interesting to have a dna study about them along with other isolated groups but there you saw again some conspiracy that I'm trying to link Cretans with them?FUCK YOU AGAIN IQ -75,no critical thinking,no coherence and you have the nerves to talk your phenotypical supremacy?get lost mental(and not phenotypical) subhuman.

I said that Greeks in general and Tsakonians also tend to be more Alpines and Meds or mixes of them
than Dinarics,that most Dinarics in Greece are Dinaro Alpines and not pure Dinarics like those among Gheg Albanians

If you think the majority of people here are Dinaric then you should look at real textbook and see how the pure Dinaric type
examples posted there of Gheg highlanders and others look like and are described.

And about Sicilians i just said that Tsakonians genetically are closer to them than Mainland Greeks are in general regardless what they look like or that Tsakonians shift rather South for Mainland Greeks than North
and you didn't denied that

Genetically they are, but I am saying phenotypically it doesn't show based on these photos.

Here's a photo of my maternal grandmother who was born in the Tsakonian hamlet of Paleochori near Leondion, Arcadia. She's the real deal Tsaknonian. I have been to her village and know the origins of her people.She appears to be a mix of Alpine Med and Berid in my opinion. 82946

Tsakonians appear to be predominantly Alpine Meds, minor Dinarids and a few Atlanto meds. I believe that Dorians were NW Greeks (regionally speaking) so there wouldn't be much of a variation other than possible higher IE.

Paleo something. Her village was pretty remote.
