Where do these Sicilians from Palermo fit best?

[Sikeliot]

Since it is the most diverse and highly contested area in terms of look, here are some.. I think this is a fairly accurate representation of Sicilians btw, for anyone concerned.

I'd say Uzbekistan. Maybe Ghana too.

The west has more phenotype diversity.

Definitely. Probably part of the reason Sikeliot thinks I look so atypical. :lol:

Because the "Sicilian" look in my mind is that of eastern Sicily; a very purely Ancient Greek look. And most Sicilians I know are from Messina, Catania, Syracuse, and Enna. :thumb001:

I don't understand the jump from passing in Lebanon to passing in Iraq...there is a country in between called syria.

[Sikeliot]

Look again. I switched it.

Syrians and Lebanese are more or less the same in terms of genetics, no?

From my albeit limited knowledge on the subject, independent Lebanon was created because it was a majority-Christian region of Syria.

This girl is interesting looking. I can see both a Near Eastern and a Germanic influence, and I've never seen anything like it..

Agreed. I'd think she was an Ashkenazi Jew before anything else.

Tis true.

Alright cool.

[Sikeliot]

Her mouth area is definitely very Germanic looking as are her cheeks, but the eyes and nose say Levant. Hence her ability to pass as Ashkenazi.

[Amun]

They are obviously diverse group of people. I voted for Cyprus, Greek, Lebanon, Syria and Malta.
this guy could pass as Egyptian in my eyes

They are indeed a diverse group of people. Most of them don't look Greek. Many would disagree, but I've seen some Spaniards that look more Greek than any of these people pictured.

They are diverse and can fit best in Northern and Central Italy, Syrian coast, Lebanon, Cyprus, and maybe Israel (as Sephardic Jews, not Ashkenazis).
