They are not closer to southern Italians and I have already mentioned why. It divides you time and space, you have not been formed as an ethnic group yet.
quote: "most European farmers
are genetically closer to Central and Northwestern (NW) Anatolian farmers than to Pre-Pottery
Neolithic (PPN) farmers of the Southern Levant or the Zagros region of Western Iran, who
were genetically well differentiated. "
You have more in common with other Western Europeans plus a lot of Semitic blood, so you are quite far from us both in time and place of formation.
You have a mixture that accidentally puts you closer to a Balkan population that has obviously undergone a genetic change over time and there is no way
today the same people to coincide with you or the ancestors of that time. In other words, the Balkans are at a crossroads, the locals have also undergone changes like the whole of Europe, but the locals have obviously not disappeared. Their influence has spread far and wide in all directions.
You speak a language from the IE group today only thanks to the cultural influence of my ancestors.
You want to have something in common, and I know I have, that's the difference between us. I am a direct descendant of the local cultural, historical, linguistic, genetic, regardless of the assimilated new ones, because here we have continuity at every point, including parallels with the oldest Balkan signs which show parallels with the later linear a and b and with Glagolitic and Old Bulgarian runes.
Guess what genius, I always get Balkan, and Greek on DNA test, that is because of not only geneflow from there, but because your ancestors were similar to me. The Semitic canard has been shown to be marginal if not non-existent in some cases. Of course if you actually read papers on the subject you would know that. So you can come up with all the excuses you want to prove that you did not become augmented by Slavs in the middle ages. The fact of the matter is the Balkans had Northern Italian-like people who mixed with Aegean_IA. The same thing happened in Italy, that is why you ancestors plot close to me, and not to you.
