Well what is clear is Sicilian DNA is mostly Neolithic West Asian and very low indigenous European/WHG/Indo European etc. But of course much of Southern Europe is the same way but the WHG and Indo-European is higher in most other places (including Greece, Spain, etc).Quote:

I called them "Nordo-Med" instead. Atlanto-Med is not predominant in Sicily.Quote:

I've noticed in North Africa women tend to be considerably lighter and more "Europoid" looking than the men on average. Maybe 1 in 50 among Moroccan/Algerian etc. Men I see can pass as atypical in South Europe while among women this ratio is 1 in 5 I'd sayQuote:

It says something about the high levels of Caucasus/Middle Eastern in them...its white.
This could be total speculation here, but it seems to me that the within a population, the native sex tends to retain within the same sex gene pool. For example in Iberia, I think the men rather than the women tend to look more central European. We know that Iberia saw massive central european migration into Iberia, the Celts, and they basically replaced the original male gene pool, which is why the Y dna between Portugal, Spain, France, England and Ireland are similar.Quote:

The Barbary pirate slave trade displaced a few million women from Europe and the slave women were absorbed into the North African population. Curious you say the women look more European, after you know that.
