    Default Genetic history of the population of Crete

    Posted today

    https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/...1111/ahg.12328

    Abstract
    The medieval history of several populations often suffers from scarcity of contemporary records resulting in contradictory and sometimes biased interpretations by historians. This is the situation with the population of the island of Crete, which remained relatively undisturbed until the Middle Ages when multiple wars, invasions, and occupations by foreigners took place. Historians have considered the effects of the occupation of Crete by the Arabs (in the 9th and 10th centuries C.E.) and the Venetians (in the 13th to the 17th centuries C.E.) to the local population. To obtain insights on such effects from a genetic perspective, we studied representative samples from 17 Cretan districts using the Illumina 1 million or 2.5 million arrays and compared the Cretans to the populations of origin of the medieval conquerors and settlers. Highlights of our findings include (1) small genetic contributions from the Arab occupation to the extant Cretan population, (2) low genetic contribution of the Venetians to the extant Cretan population, and (3) evidence of a genetic relationship among the Cretans and Central, Northern, and Eastern Europeans, which could be explained by the settlement in the island of northern origin tribes during the medieval period. Our results show how the interaction between genetics and the historical record can help shed light on the historical record.

    This says Cretans have admixture from north, central and eastern Europe ?

    Arab admixture is stronger than Venetian admixture, but it is small ?

    Yes it's true about Northern, central and Eastern admixture. I see this in my and my Cretan cousins gedmatch results.

    Most likely Slavic admixture came from mainland Greece as there is no evidence (that i've seen) of any Slavic incursions into Crete. There's a really interesting discussion on another site about this paper.

    It seems, from the introduction, that any foreign admixture is small.
