North African, SW Asian, and North Euro admixture in S. Europe: Dodecad K12b.

[Sikeliot]

I averaged together MANY results.

Iberia is the most northern, least MENA. NE Sicily is the opposite. Crete is more MENA, less North Euro shifted than the aggregate of the Aegean islands. Palermo has the highest MENA shifted outliers even if not the highest average. SE Sicily is the most "northern" shifted part of the island, which means there is some point on the east coast moving south where the Greek influence really begins to be present.

North African, highest to lowest:
Palermo: 4.81 (3.17-7.66)

Nice thread. How much SW Asian in Malta?

Probably close to Agrigento and Caltanissetta considering that is where they descend from. Any surprises above or no?

Some people might be surprised the Aegean islands as a whole are more Northern European shifted than Crete.

nah, I'm not surprised by that.

[Sikeliot]

nah, I'm not surprised by that.

I also don't know why people think that Cretans look lighter and less exotic. Some Cretans can be light but I have seen a lot more pictures of light eyed and genuinely Northern looking people from Lesbos, Samos, and Chios.

Some of the SW Asian might have come from Phoenicians

How many samples from each group is this based on?

That could be, but I also suspect that Sicily and Crete were originally inhabited by Afro-Asiatic speakers (Sicanians? Minoans?).

My question to you is, which part of Sicily do you think has been most, and least, impacted by foreigners based on this?

20+ for Messina, Palermo, and Aegean islands each. Around 15 for Greece, and the rest a bit less.

What sort of foreigners? Nordics or non-Europeans?
