East/West Sicily modeled using academic samples

[Sikeliot]

Either way it is absolutely not supported that I only post Armenoid or exotic phenotypes, anyone looking at those photos can see that while some of those types are present, the majority are not.

[Bobby Martnen]

Sicilians also have more SW Asian, North African, etc. than Mycenaeans had, and less "West Med" (which is really a misnomer because it is representative of ancient Anatolian, and the component arrived from the east, not from the west).

I do not agree that the extra Near Eastern in Sicily is from Anatolia.

I thought "West Med" was Sardinians?

[Bobby Martnen]

Northwest. I am pretty sure you can model Sicilians without any NE European at all. But they do have some "French" like ancestry.

But what is clear to me is they cannot be modeled without some North African and Levantine, no matter what populations you use in the mixture. So I do not think it's just all ancient Anatolian.

French aren't NW Euro either - they're also Meds, albeit more NW shifted than Italians.

[Bobby Martnen]

Yeah, Sikeliot is a troll.

I'll be banned again after this post but I need to expose him:

He claims Sicilians are MENAs because he thinks he looks MENA (he doesn't, but that's another story) and he wants to be ''Ancient Greek'', so in order for him to be Ancient Greek Sicilians must be Levantines, Greek mainlanders Slavs etc. This way everything would ''match'' his exact ancestry. Polish/Portuguese/Sicilian faggot from USA.
He also trolls the Portuguese claiming they are African admixed because it would make them like his Capeverdean grandmother.

In short, all of his 100000000 posts sprung from his personal issues and trolling attempts.

Even if you don't agree with what he posts and think he doesn't for personal reasons (which I don't, since the science is on his side), that's still not trolling. Trolling is intentionally trying to provoke people, and I've never seen Sikeliot do that.

A member on Anthrogenica made these, I do not get credit for it but I thought they were interesting.

I highlighted Greek in green, MENA in red, and West European in blue.

Interesting is East Sicily can be modeled with no North African, while West Sicily requires it.

It's also worth noting, I think, that the French used here is "French South", which is much more southern-shifted than Normans are, so Sicilians aren't actually 1/3 Norman.

Why u keep creating accounts if you claimed to be tired of TA before your first ban? I remember that.... You said you wanted to be banned. lol
You cant get away from this forum.

The "French" there might signify north Italian settlement or Italic ancestry.

West Med peaks in Sardinians, but high amounts of it will also shift people toward North Africa, as after Sardinians, it is highest next in Northwest Africa (NOT Iberia as people often think).

Sorry for the bump, but do you think this means that Sicilians are ~40% Ancient Greek, ~30% Italo-Celtic, and ~30% MENA?

(As opposed to 50% MENA, like GEDmatch would suggest)

I think so yes.
