Quit whitewashing Levantines

[sql]

Autosomally Ashkenazi Jews are the same as Sicilians. So I guess Sicilians are "Levantine with some Roman admixture" too.

This is not true. Sure, the same level of components but IBDs are completely different. An AJ will match with Jews all over the world but not a single Sicilian without Jewish ancestry.

this one actually true

Levant populations today fall into two main groups: one sharing more genetic characteristics with modern-day Europeans and Central Asians, and the other with closer genetic affinities to other Middle Easterners and Africans. Finally, we identify a putative Levantine ancestral component that diverged from other Middle Easterners ∼23,700–15,500 years ago during the last glacial period, and diverged from Europeans ∼15,900–9,100 years ago between the last glacial warming and the start of the Neolithic
We reconstructed the genetic structure of the Levantines and found that a pre-Islamic expansion Levant was more genetically similar to Europeans than to Middle Easterners.

Well in terms of autosomal components. Sicilians are really, if you think about it, Neolithic Near Easterners with some Italic and Greek ancestry who avoided the massive Indo-European wave of migration into Europe, which makes them artificially like Jews.

Stop white washing Levantines and Turks but then brown washing Iranians, Kurds, and Afghans. They all aren't that different in skin tone at all.

I've noticed that the only people who whitewash Jews, Levantines, and Turks are the south euros who feel bad for being genetically related to them and denying their MENA ancestry.

Yes, I agree, sicilians are not genetically whites. But they're Europeans, not middle easterners.

What are you talking about? Greeks are more similar to Swedes than to anyone in the south med.

and this is true

in fact, Christian Levantines are indigenous( with origins similar to Southern Europeans), Muslim Levantines came from Arabia

for the thread:

LEVANTINES ARE BROWN

Thats not what genetics says about muslim levantines
