He obviously doesn't, because he scores no Turkic input at all.

[Marmara]

You are not fully Pontic.

[Mejgusu]

You score a lot of north european. Maybe you have ancestors from todays greek or western turkey?

Very interesting results! Most Pontic Greek results we have so far are close to Caucasian groups. Yours are half Caucasian-like and the rest is similar to Greek Islander or maybe Smyrniot results.
However there is an explanation.
The Pontic Greek samples we have so far are from Trabzon area. We don't have samples from Western Pontus. Your Trabzon side seems typical. Your Western Pontus side is different but in fact may be typical for the region. We need samples from this area and it is very useful to see your results.
Could you also post your K15? I would like to see both your mixed mode (press oracle) and 4 (oracle 4)populations results.

Arab?

He has high North Atlantic and Baltic neither of which the average Pontic Greek has. He actually has more Steppe ancestry than a Greek from Kos. I think one of his grandparents must be heavily Balkan shifted to get such a result...

Not necessarily true. Pontus and Principality of Theodoro which was a Greek/Gothic Crimean mix was a brother/sister type relationship - meaning alot of trade occured between these two people.

Not overly atypical at all - you see some Pontians that are fairly light and others that look full Iranic. They are as diverse as any other people on the planet.

I find quite possible that western Pontic Greeks are similar to Cappadocian Greeks and close to Dodecanese.
