Too bad we dont have any more Italians from the South to see and comment such claims... :bored:

It's objectively true. You're from the North, why do you even care?

We have yet to discover how much of that Levantine is legit Israelite though. xPhoencian, xAmorite, xMoabite… the real stat could be much much lower than that. I remember the 70% Levantine stat going around in the past.. then it was changed to 50% Levantine. Then, as for now, 20% Levantine. It’s important to remember to that Samaritans aren’t fully Israelite themselves.

I remember it was great when I saw Mesopotamia in my father's genetic results, it was lucky to test him in FTDNA and the result of an Italian ancestor in 23andMe, which could well be some European Jew that 23andMe confuses with Italian, we will see later, Mesopotamians are the descendants of our Ashkenazi ancestors who arrived in Spain in relatively modern times through Y DNA, it is also fortunate that the rest of Europe has a thousand times more haplogroups E than Spain, where except perhaps the E-M81 most of them have come to us through other European countries.Quote:

I dont (coz it is bullshit anyway) but It is my country you talking about so when someone spout shit either from North or South i actually care. If you go South Italy telling them they have "MENA blood" they beat you at best. :D
Do u seriously think i trust some random chart online that can be manipulated? :bored:
They are not trustable nor representative and i dont give a shit unless approved by Italian scolars as well.
I only trust history facts not these datas.
Italy is not exactly an understudied country. In fact, it's the opposite. There have been international studies on Italian genetics and you can find a myriad of individual Italians who have taken DNA tests themselves. Sure you're never gonna have 60 million people tested but the amount of data we have right now is more than enough to come to certain conclusions. Why resist the facts? I can tell you that as a Russian I too once had to change my view of my people's origin when I started to learn more about our genetics and my own ancestry. Some deep-seated misconceptions had to be cast aside, some new facts had to be acknowledged instead. It's not like my whole world was shattered though.
We dont know anything about the people who took dna tests if they are fully italian or not. Numbers and tests can be manipulated especially if found online and posted on these forums and these charts are only accepted and discussed on these kind of forums, they have no meaning outside. Hardly can be considered facts...
Saying that "Southern Italians have a lot of MENA blood" like user above claimed is very laughtable.
So, unless these charts are confirmed and accepted widely even in real world and even by Italian scolars it will be hard to convince me otherwise.
Well, going by that logic you can say the same about almost anything. It's like some people who (rightly) distrust the mainstream media and the government but they do it so much that they go to extremes not believing any single word they read or hear from those people. That's not very healthy in my opinion.
Regarding the Italians, I think a well-known international study found out Imperial Rome had a fucking lot of Middle Easterners from the east of the empire. Also, Southern Italy is just geographically very close to the Middle East and North Africa, obviously it's expected that they'd score more of that stuff than, say, Lombardians or Tyroleans, don't you think?
This is what people on this forum do, believe every single chart is posted without any actual trustable study or source. So are you saying that these forums and datas found nowhere in real world are more trustable? Please...
Id trust more a dna scolar in my country real life than OP on a forum like this tbh...
lol cmon...
Perhaps Romans who married middle easterners stayed there and didnt return in Italy many Romans did, they preferred to remain in provinces perhaps middle easterners actually have italic blood :rolleyes:
They mixed with other people as well not only middle easterners but strangely these are never counted...
Well not really close... there is a lot of sea between... but in any case geography location doesnt means much but marriages and mixing do now if you can prove the majority of Southern Italians actually married/mixed with ME so much to change the gene pool i would agree with you.
Im not saying they have 0 ME blood but definitely not "LOT".
Some Jews entered Rome in 200BC. I believe they got mixed with "pristine Italic" types at the same time "C6" was being created. I could be wrong though.
Kaifeng Jews, Bukharian Jews, Malabari Jews, Paradesi Jews, and Mumbai Jews all have uniparental links to the rest of world Jewry. Haven't seen autosomal results of Kaifeng Jews - but the aforementioned all have significant Levantine autosomal ancestry. At this point, believing otherwise is very much cope.
Cope and seethe.

obviously, Rome at the time was like modern New York, there were many migrants from all over the known world, but that study i saw also says that Middle Eastern people disappeared after the fall of Rome. I partially agree that genetics and this type of graphs can be easily manipulated especially for a heterogeneous country like Italy but I don't deny that there are influences from the ancient Middle East in Italy, obviously there are espcially in the far south the near east influence is very big. even the Romans said they were the mixture between the Latin and Trojan people, this sums up Italian genetics better than all these graphics and percentages.
Is it fair to say the Jews are continuation of the Romans?
Credo pero che quella storia abbia un po di veritá, almeno il periodo imperiale i latini e gli italici si mischiarono con un popolo dell oriente come i greci e gli anatolici. Gli italiani moderni sono in generale un mic di questi due, con al nord che c'é un po di influenza celto/germanica e al sud qualcosa di medio-orientale in eccesso
They mixed with all conquered populations not only from ME this is what an empire usually do. That being said not much to change Italian gene pool or to make them have LOT of "MENA blood", whatever MENA blood is...
Also Romans used to live in provinces as well perhaps the one that mixed arent the Italian ones...
Seems I was right with cca 35%
Illustrative DNA full Askenazi result from Reddit:
Bronze Age: 32% Canaanite
Iron Age: 32.4% Phoenician
Migration period: 37% Roman Levant

Interesting he got 3% East Asian.
I believe the ethnogenesis of modern Italians happened concurrently in Italy with that of European Jews, from the same mixture of Iron Age Italians and Levantines. From what I've seen Iron Age Italians were North Italian/Iberian-like across the peninsula (maybe the Greek settlements in the South were already East Med shifted, but Latium is the most important area), so I believe that is primarily what the paternal ancestors of Ashkenazi Jews mixed with.
Check their result on Illustrative DNA.
This one got over 40% Canaanite/Phoenician/Roman Levant
