ROFL-LMAO??? First of all South Italians are not homogeneus, so stop you with that shit. Campanians are closer to Tuscans than to Sicilians actually according to a recent published peer reviewed study, so STFU. Second what does make you think that you cluster more northern than us, when you are not even connected with mainland Europe?Quote:

Y-Dna haplogroups were found at the following frequencies in Calabria : J2 (38.60%), R1 (33.40%), E1b1b (15.80%), G (10.50%), I (1.75%)
Just for a comparison ^.Quote:
Y-Dna haplogroups are found at the following frequencies in Malta : R1 (35.55% including 32.2% R1b), J (28.90% including 7.80% J1), I (12.20%), E (11.10% including 8.9% E1b1b), F (6.70%), K (4.40%), P (1.10%)
also, Italy overall:
R1b 49%, R1a 2.5%, l1 2.5%, l2a 3%, l2b 1%, J 20%, T 4%, G 7%, E3b 11%.
I'm sorry, due to the high J2 percentage in Italy, Italy is no more European. Please do not come up with separatist bullshit, now (specially because you're S.Italian and you'd be dishonouring yourself :D).
OK then. Levanto-euro mutts.Quote:

Well, Cyprus is Europe.
A lot of Greek Cypriots have recent Christian Lebanese ancestry; i.e. Marcos Baghdatis, Sarbel Michael.
In the 13th century the Maronite community on Cyprus was about 50,000 strong. They speak their own variety of Arabic: Cypriot Maronite Arabic.
Calabrians are bottlenecked so their haplogroups frequencies do not correlate with their autosomal Dna. The same is true for Maltese people. I am sorry to disappoint you, but Sicilians are more MENA shifted than us and there is no way in this dimension that you cluster more northern than Sicilians. That's that.Quote:

The study doesn't say that 5 STR's were made, it says that 5 STR's were picked from the several ones that have been made used to make a comparison.Quote:
