Origin of the East-Meds?

[Kaspias]

Both greece and turkey in balkans. Also Slovenia, Romania, Moldovia too.

Greece is not Balkan.

You can find many maps where the opposite is shown.

I feel like because you personally are not a mainlander, you try to apply things that are true for Crete, to all of Greece -- Greece not being Balkan, Greeks looking southern Italian, etc.

The phenotypical difference between mainland Greece and the Greek islands is not as big as you make it out to be. For example, I posted some northern Greeks here and you guessed them as Cretans. Not only that, but I have posted other threads with mainland Greeks and they were mostly dark haired and brown eyed, they could easily pass in south Italy. You happen to think that mainland Greeks look like Slavs (round faces, blonde hair, blue eyes and generally other Slavic features). Not even Serbs fit that stereotype, let alone mainland Greeks.

I don’t say that all mainlanders pass in the islands, there is a good number who looks Balkan and can’t pass, but most can pass in the Greek islands.

Feel free to take a look again at my threads about mainland Greeks and decide whether they can pass in south Italy or not:

Ok what I am really getting at here but trying not to say directly is mainland Greeks rarely, if ever, have a Levantine look but you find Levantine looks in both southern Italy/Sicily and the Aegean islands. That is the main difference, as well as that some mainlanders (even if not most) do look more Slavic.

East Med and West Med are the contributions of the first Anatolian and Levantine farmers.

East Med. people originate from Anatolia and Ancient Assyria

I am not saying they are Assyrians only that they once lived in that area.

East Med people are NOT Indo-Europeans.
