Does West Mediterranean ancestry on Gedmatch means European or North African?

[Serbat14]

West Med it's like 80% european and East Med like 50%, it depends.

East Mediterranean ancestry means Greek and rest of southeast Europe?

It peeks between South Greece, Cyprus and the Levant, but for example, italians, specially the sicilians, score high in this component. If you have Gedmatch and you post Eurogenes K15 and it's oracles, i can help you better.

Neolithic Med. It peaks in Sardinia.

So in conclusion, would it be ok if I'll classify West Mediterranean ancestry as European? Since it's predominantly European genetically from what I understand

These components go back to Neolithic era. Mediterranean populations were Neolithic farmers and a little bit West Hunter Gatherers (the western part and maybe Northern Balkans). They had no Steppe ancestry. In Sardinia peaks the west med component that includes West hunter Gatherers.
East Med peaks in Levant, Cyprus and to a lesser extent Greece. An ancient civilization with very high east Med component is Minoans.
We can say that West Med is European ancestry since it does not include an African or Eastern component but you can find this component in non-European populations like North Africans or maybe even Levantine people to a low extent. This happens because it is a Neolithic Med component and it does not mean necessarily any admixture with modern West Med peoples.
