    This is a really poor calculator in my opinion.

    Other calculators show the same -- Cyclades/North Aegean being somewhere between Sicily/South Italy/Dodecanese/Crete and Peloponnesians.

    He has higher Baltic and East European on K15 than most islanders too. How many times do I have to say these categories are NOT literal?

    Please tell everyone on TA now that Punjabi's have 'Slavic admixture'. Come on, man. It's getting old.
    You just dug up gold yet no one replied. It wont match up with their "Slavic" theories

    Its mostly the absence of levant-like admixture in some of these islands. In some cases, it can be some Slavic influence seeping over from the mainland.

    Based on your modeling, which Aegean island is genetically closest to Sicily?

    They are all mostly all equally distant, from the samples I have.

    Ok let me ask it this way: which islands do you find based on the samples you have, have:

    A. more MENA input
    B. less MENA input
    C. same amount of MENA

    as Sicilians? This will determine which is "closest"

    Islanders and Sicilians get their mena from different sources. Islanders from the Levant/Anatolia, and Sicily from North Africa. The least mena islanders are probably Ionians and Euboans. The most Mena islands are Karpathos and the Dodecanese from what ive seen.

    This doesn't make sense because on GEDmatch, Sicilians match with Levantines before North Africa.
