    So let me understand this, Cypriots fall into both European and Middle Eastern plots, but Maltese only into Middle Eastern plots. It is a tad illogical if you ask me. So yeah, I wouldn't account these 2-3 individuals as a whole population. Listen, all this nordicist affair, I only joke about it (with all respect to Scandinavia and co.), I am realistic and I know that the Maltese population is genetically same as Sicilians, with slightly more N.African and British depending on the individual. How it's said in Italian "E' tutto in regola". Being the southernmost and on the border, being ethnically questionable if Maltese are pure Europeans doesn't mean that I will change my values, political allineation or anything.

    Correct.
    Actually, I have seen that Sicilians have more North African than Maltese so far.

    What is strange to me is that Sicilians and Maltese are no different when you look at Ancestry Painting, but the Sicilians land in both Europe and the Near East plot, and Maltese only in the Near East plot. THAT is what does not make sense.

    Another one.
    This one has 2%+ South Asian, and 5% North African.

    And this makes the fourth Maltese who only clusters in the Near East plot. They are basically Sicilians with more North African.

    Here is another. Compared to Sicilians, they seem to be less West Asian, and more North African. They also have a bit more Balkan and Iberian, for whatever reason. Thoughts? Are they the remnants of Sicilians past, or are they a different population?

    He plots in the Near East plot just like the others.

    Sikeliot this is actually something that can be researched genealogically. Sicilian genealogical records are very comprehensive, and go back into the 1500s.
