16.6 GRC_Mycenaean

However, like the other Levantines your fit becomes better when adding a North African-like sample, not sure how accurate this would be though.

Target: Abdelnour
Distance: 1.4138% / 0.01413812 | ADC: 0.25x
50.8 Canaan_BA
30.4 IRN_IA
10.2 ITA_Sardinia_Punic
8.6 GRC_Mycenaean

Sardinia_Punic is not North Africa, its MENA ancestry is mostly levantine, I would use Sardinia_C_O, Mozabite, Iberia_Central_CA_Afr

I used ITA_Sardinia_Punic:VIL011 which is heavily North African, I didn't use the average which ofc is very mixed.
A NA shifted Punic makes much more sense for Levantines than Mozabites.

10% North African ancestry in Lebanese doesn't make much sense to me though.

Sardinia_Punic has North African shifted samples:

Remind me later, I've lost the whole model because of a stupid mistake I made so I need to remake it.

2 suggestions:

-Given you split Levant and North Levant, shouldn't you rename the first as South Levant?
-Instead of using ancient, divide the 2 cluster in iron age and bronze age, I believe you excluded copper age samples already.

Sure I can do that, so you mean like this:

Levant Iron Age
Levant Bronze Age

?

Those 4 categories:

North Levant Iron Age
North Levant Bronze Age
South Levant Iron Age
South Levant Bronze Age

BTW I imagine by north we mean Syria+Lebanon and south Israel+Palestine+Jordania, also maybe it would be nice to add any Turkish samples that is within the region, if there are any, I need to check.

Ancient Turkish or modern Turkish?

Also do you have a list of G25 which already has been divided between Iron Age and Bronze Age?

Where do you think the Mittani came from? They're Indo-Iranians and Indo-Iranians originated in Central Asia. Based on the fact this Central Asian was almost entirely BMAC with minor Steppe, it was probably either some BMAC concubine that the Mittanis brought with them or one of the Mittanis that didn't have much Steppe admix.

Edit: Never mind. You were referring to the minor SC Asian admixture that came during the combined Persian and Greek rule.
