F3 allele sharing of modern and ancient Levantine populations with Bronze Age Levant (Sidon MBA - likely same genetics as the Ancient Israelites).
Higher the f3 estimate, the genetically "closer" the population. F3 is far superior than FST for small population sizes and for taking highly drifted groups like Samaritans into account.
You can see Iron Age & Hellenistic-Roman Era Lebanese are closest. What's surprising is how close Cypriots are. Let's see how much Sidon MBA ancestry they have.

The model is not overfited but it lacks proxies. Cypriots are definitely not 50% Minoan + Yamnaya aka 50% Mycenaean and not 50% Sidon.
ReplyDeleteThese below are G25 model, G25 only works good with proximal models, i know that its inaccurate when it comes to distal models, like neolithic ones. I've gotten similar results on qpAdm when it comes to proximal models.

Balkan and Slavic admix probably came from mainland Greeks so i added them as a proxy below.

Of course if you just run these 2 you are going to get 50/50 but its not real in terms of admixture/ancestry.
