Are Central Greeks and Peloponnese Greeks clustered with Cretans/Greek Islanders?

Most common patterns tend to be: Northern Mainland Greece shifts towards Bulgaria and Southern Balkans Southern Mainland makes a gate between Northern Mainland and Greek Islands Greek Islands make a gate between Southern Mainland and Cyprus Cyprus makes a gate between Greek Islands and Anatolia/Northern Levant

I haven't seen any Pelopennisian results to compare to Thessalians and/or Central Grreks. I believe that there might be sections of the the peninsula that may, on average cluster north of Thessaly. Would these be outliers? I've always contended that there was a pretty significant Slavic admixture in portions of the Pelop.

Ok these are K 12 averages and only Central Greeks and Thessalians were included on the spreadsheet. I was curious because the three elements considered as Nothern shifting; Baltic, West Med and Northern Atlantic were a bit higher in my profile than the Thessalian avg. and my family is full Southern mainland. I guess I would just be on the high end of the Pelop. avg. for NE or NW shifted.

Yes have tried to post Harappa results but have been unable to. Will keep trying
 
Why are there so many Jews in GedMatch results?

There shouldn't be, imo. The reason they're there is because the creators of some calculators include them in the reference populations. They shouldn't. The Ashkenazim, in particular, are a very unique population in that they formed very recently from ancestral strains already present in Europe. Admixture matches to them are just picking up a mix of ancestry, nothing particular to them. The worst offenders of the "private" companies was FTDNA. May still be for all I know. The geniuses put the Ashkenazim as a Near Eastern reference even though they're at least 40-50% European. Madness.

If someone wants to know if they're related to Ashkenazim, they should test with 23andme. If you come up with thousands of "Jewish" cousins, you'll know. You can even figure out if it was a grandparent, great grandparent, great-great grandparent, etc.

If it tells you you have some, even under 1%, you probably do.

As for ancient Jews, when they give us the results for a couple of Jewish genomes from the days of King David or the Hasmoneans or the time of the revolt, we'll know. I gave my opinion years ago that either the Philistines brought some Southern European ancestry to Israel, or migrants to Europe picked it up there. We'll know when we get the ancient genomes. Until then, all the speculating going on is just people who like to hear themselves talk or have an agenda to push. I have no time to waste on things like that.
