Campania was not included? Too much migration in and out of Naples?

I don't think about it, because Palermo is kinda like Naples.Campania was not included? Too much migration in and out of Naples?
Falco, that's interesting indeed. It was very likely a Chalcolithic migration.They also mention that there has largely been genetic continuity since the Bronze Age, with one or two exceptions noted below: I also found this interesting as well: They are (1) a huge Neolithic-like genetic component (∼50%) and (2) a Bronze Age component incorporating a significant Caucasus-related ancestry (∼24%). If the former is obviously related to migrations that spread Neolithic technologies towards the West, the second one suggests a less known net of Bronze-Age population movements along the Eastern Mediterranean shores through Anatolia. Just an educated guess, but could this hint at a migration of Myceanean-like people (or the Myceaneans themselves) in the Middle-Late Bronze Age period toward southern Italy? I know in the recent Lazaridis paper Myceneans were modeled either as partly Iran ChL/CHG+EHG (in addition to being majority Anatolian Neolithic) or as partly MLBA Armenian IIRC.
