the levant and cyprus are genetically more mediterranean than southern europe because they escaped a massive genetic dilution. about 4,500 years ago yamnaya from steppes migrated into europe, permanently blending their continental dna with the native coastal farmers of ancient italy, spain, and mainland greece. because these outland genetic components never reached the eastern mediterranean shores in large numbers, the people of cyprus and the levant never absorbed their dna, leaving them as a more pure, biological time capsule of the original coastal genetic. (even tho they have chg mountain dewller)to be classified as a true mediterranean genetic component, a lineage must have evolved in the mediterranean biome, next to the coast and stayed there. no pan european wanderers like whg, no steppe nomads yamnaya, and no mountain dwellers chg. iberomaurusian>natufian>ahg/anf are the ogs.when we filter the entire archaeogenetic record through this criteria, levantines are the purest mediterraneans,
>>18665839Why do third-worlders obsess over being med?
>>18665846Because they live in shitholes of their own making and try to justify any sense of pride by clinging on to the very distant pass and larping as those great men. Most people just pick themselves up and push forward, these things wallow in misery and their own filth.
>>18665855Past fuck. I dont know why I keep typing wrong
>>18665839jews have tay sachs and are literal genetic garbage, though.
>>18665846Southern Europeans built up a good reputation and the Arabs want to milk that.Reminds me of the Albanians, Turks and Arabs around the 2000s who pretended to be Greek or Italian in the night clubs. It still makes me laugh after so many years.
>>18665864they diluted med blood with wh*toid blood.
>>18665839Sure, but with Southern Europeans removed, the term "med" loses all prestige and almost all positive associations.
>>18665839You literally admitted they have CHG lmfao
Meds are Cypriots, Greek Islanders, Sicilians, some Jewish groups - the peoples genetically in the middle between (Southern) Europeans and Levantines.This is what ancient Greeks, Imperial Romans, Byzantines were like. Iberians and Central/Northern Italians aren`t "Meds", but basically Central Europeans. The Levant (apart from certain populations like the Christians and the Druze, which could be argued to be Med) is part of the broader Arab world. But there is a distinct "Med"-culture/population in between.

>>18665839>genetically more mediterranean than southern europetheir browness comes from dark hell-spawned demon contamination from southeast asia and subsaharan africa
>>18665839Bla, bla, bla.Mediterranean is basically just Latin Catholic + Greeks.Although to be honest, there is somewhat of a big divide between the Latins and the Greeks.Muslims have a completely alien culture. The ocean separating Islam from Christianity is far greater than the distance between say an Italian and a Finnish.

>>18666670The absolute majority of the mediterranean landmass is in the middle east and north africaOn top of that Spain is nothing but a visigothic settler colony and italy a lombard and norman oneThe only true mediterraneans are MENA people, Albanians and Island Greeks
>>18665839Mediterrenean =/= real, inferiority complex based larp by brown people>>18666631No, sicilians make a cline with the rest of italy, and imperial romans did not have one genetic profile nor did they replace the italics, pre-slavic greece would have likely been a similar cline with dorian/northern type greeks having more steppe
>>18665839>>18665839You are south asian
>>18667262Greeks already in the Roman Imperial period had an anatolian genetic profile. The Minoans and Mycenaeans also were like that genetically. Not "southern european", but something in between (Med). This is also the genetic profile of Byzantium. Migrants from the East did not replace the Italics completely, but they mixed with them to a great extent. Sicilians form a cline with the rest of Italy, but that doesn't mean a lot. Southern Italians still diverge extremely from Northern Italians.
>>18665839"Mediterranean" as the name indicates (Latin origin) usually denotes Southern European cultures, not MENA ones even if they are geographically part of it. It was the Romans and Greeks that defined that sea way more than the Egyptians, Berbers, Canaanites, Syrians, and Arabs ever did.
Do med geneticists ever feel embarrassed that they've done all this work and still their models can't explain why their ancient statues look like that? It's like Tycho Brahe studying astronomy for 20 years on his island and still believing in geocentrism
Like they found that one merely 25% steppe sample and everyone immediately rushed to clarify that it was just a shitty poor unknown hillbilly, and it definitely shouldn't be taken as indicative of anything that could explain the phenotypes on all the statues.
>>18665846its a turk who's been spamming this same shit on /int/ for days now
