Eurogenes' "West Sicily" sample is unrepresentative of western Sicily: should be replaced/removed!

[Sikeliot]

"West Sicily" on Eurogenes is a sample from Trapani, which is highly northward shifting compared to the East Sicily or South Italy samples. However, I am going to demonstrate that the average western Sicilian, from Palermo, Agrigento, or Caltanissetta, is not represented by this sample and instead scores East Sicily or South Italy (Calabria) first.

I think this sample should be replaced, renamed, or removed, because it falsely implies that the west of the island scores like it, when most of them do not.

Out of 30 people randomly chosen, West Sicily comes first (or before East Sicily/South Italy) for THREE out of THIRTY people. This is not representative. Many of them even score North African Jews first.

These are all verified from Palermo:

i dont accord too much importance to these tests. every single one gives me different results. but anyway caltanissetta is too basal eurasian-mena compared to the rest of western sicily

Agrigento is the most MENA part of western Sicily (if not the whole island). They are just like Maltese. Palermo and Caltanissetta seem roughly similar to one another, I think.

I just think using Trapani to represent the west is not accurate: that sample plots north of Abruzzo even. Seriously, run a Greek islander through it. They get East Sicily first usually, then South Italy, Central Greece, Abruzzo, etc.

how do you know the sample is from trapani

I know the study it is from.

Now here are a bunch of people from Trapani. See how they score for comparison -- not all of them but many are indeed northern shifted. Palermo/Agrigento/Caltanissetta have strong MENA input, hence why a lot of them are close to North African Jews. But the Trapanese even if north shifted for Sicily are still southeast of mainland Greeks, Albanians, Central Italy, etc. overall.

The only other northern shifted area in Sicily is some people from the southeast due to (recent?) mainland Greek input.

But even here, only 7 of the 15 random people I chose, score West Sicily or something more north than that. "West Sicily" does not even perfectly capture Trapani!

[Sikeliot]

Yes. I do think Trapani is slightly northern shifted but the sample is even more so than the average person there, and certainly does not represent Agrigento, Palermo, and Caltanissetta, where people are closer even to North African Jews much of the time.

SE Sicily tends to score "Central Greek" first sometimes, which makes sense.
