Outlying Sicilian/Calabrese GEDMatch result -- extremely MENA/almost NO STEPPE.

[Teucer]

It pops up very often in the top 5 of Mainlanders at least Peloponnesians as well.

They get it in their to 5 among with Abruzzo often as their closest 2.

Alot of them get Central Greek even at number 1.


Sikeliot posted some Southern Mainland Greek results in a thread of mine which got Albanian in their top 5 and Bulgarian in their top 10
to prove that they are more "Northern" Balkan shifted than Sicilians but even all of his results got Central Greek first before Albanian or
anything else.

I can find these results and post them.

Welcome back! You were quiet on the forum for a while

Wow almost no east Balkan admixture

My MDLP K16 Steppe is very low as well- 11.77.

Fair enough. So you would rate MDLP as being the most valid calculator for Southern Italian populations?

One of them, yes.

Did you see the Bronze Age Sicilian sample? It was a mixture of Caucasus and Sardinian/EEF. This should tell us of which components came first. Then, southern Calabria (considered the oldest/most preserved south Italian group) has high SW Asian/Levantine also, but low Steppe.

So I think south Italy started out Sardinian-like, then acquired Caucasian, then SW Asian/Levantine, and then I think North Euro input and North African are the most recent things.

YEs, and if I recall correctly his first match was a Cypriot. Probably due to the high caucasian input the Sicilians received later as you say

The Bronze Age Sicily sample could be modeled as Armenian and Sardinian mixed.

11.5% for me.

Are Greeks from Smyrna different genetically than mainland Greeks?

Significantly different. In general Mainland Greeks typically cluster with Albanians, Central Italians, Bulgarians (less so), Kossovars, and less so with Sicilians, Aegean Islanders, Cretans (with some exceptions), Cypriots, Anatolians (very distant).

This is not correct in the way you say it
