Goes to show that even if Assyrians can look European, they are not. Must be the same with Albanians.Quote:
Most likely fit is 14.7% (+- 8.8%) Mideast (various subcontinents)
and 79.5% (+- 8.5%) Mideast (all Caucasus Area)
which is 94.3% total Mideast
and 0.6% (+- 0.8%) Europe (various subcontinents)
and 5.1% (+- 1.0%) S. Asia (various subcontinents)
Albanians are European (and if I had to guess, probably very similar genetically to Greeks but maybe slightly more Northern influence). Parts of their culture aren't.Quote:

There is an overlap, but the populations as a whole are obviously different and in the whole Eastern Mediterranean are more people which could pass as European, than vice versa.
Because European-like elements are wider spread in the Near East, than typical Near Eastern ones in Europe, that is crucial.
I agree. And even at that, it's not so much that these Near Easterners look typically European but rather that their phenotypes are part of the variability of some Southern European ethnicities. It's harder to find Europeans looking characteristically Near Eastern, unless you go to Malta of course. ;)Quote:
