Appearance of Sicilians relative to other Mediterraneans? (poll included)

[oreo_cookie]

People mix and autosomes get diluted or replaced, that's why you'll never find an exact estimation. Even the high presence of a haplogroup does not necesarily mean an autosomal correlation, as for example, the Passiegos have 40% of haplogroup E and they cluster with Basques if I'm not mistaken. So nothing to do with North Africans, the population which fits better according to the haplogroup E presence between them.

That's the best example, but surely it's possible to find others.

That is a good point. The thing that just confuses me is when there is almost NO correlation between autosomes and haplogroups but usually you can see some sort of correlation.

they look like a cross between Iberians and Eastmediterraneans with some North African.

Well, you asked me to vote your poll, but I can't!
You have only one choice!

People from Sicily are from all over Europe and the Middle East and Northern Africa.
We all know that!
Even people that were the first Europeans.

Lol wait I'm confused.. only one choice?

 

[Reinaert]

Only one choice in the poll..

I think your choices are all related to Sicily!

Scandinavians (Swedes, Danes, etc.)
Spaniards or Portuguese
Greeks
Caucasus (Armenia, Georgia)
Levant (Syria, Lebanon, Palestine)
North Africa (Tunisia, Algeria, etc.)

 

[Cambrius (The Red)]

Sicilians are diverse and have a generally unique look. They are closest to Greeks and I haven't noticed any great similarities with people outside of the Eastern Mediterranean. Only a tiny percentage resemble North Africans.

Well the question is meant to be like, which, of all of those, would you most likely confuse one for, or going by looks who comes the closest phenotypically.

Various influences are observed, but the seal is Italian. Someone has the air of North Africa, but Italianate, although phenotypic essence I see the Caucasus, however what I look like are Italian, some with an essence here or there, but more Italian than anything else. There are many long noses and large, is what I found less similarity with Spain and Portugal.


I voted Caucasus, is what I have found the vast majority with a minority with an air of the Levant, North Africa, also in northern Europe, is like a homogeneous heterogeneity.


The photo of my avatar is me, how beautiful! is the time when I should have put the braces would have succeeded and at 3:40 would not be 'talking about these issues.

From your picture you could be anything from Spanish, to French, to British Isles (Irish, English). ^

This guy could be a Dutchman too, from the south. YDNA R1b or J2.

 

[oreo_cookie]

He looks kind of Albanian to me. But really you could probably find that look even up into Poland, Germany, etc.

Btw choose a poll option. It's kind of a "choose the best answer" deal.

This should go to the Anthropology section too.

Michael Cera.. half Sicilian-Canadian, half Irish-Canadian

I am of the same mind.

And in terms of geography this makes sense.
