an ethnicity that has considerably more sw-asian than another one will be swarthier for sure (all other components being equal)

it is definitely a "swarthy" component . but still it is not that dark either

it is one of the main reasons why armenians are overall darker than georgians btw
I guess the only reason why Armenians don't score as much CHG as Georgians is because Armenians have elevated levels of SW Asian and Med components in comparison to Georgians. Otherwise, they would be the same.

in general armenians have a lot more sw-asian , more mediterranean , a little more WCA than georgians

and at the same time many georgians score several percent west european and even north european which armenians often have very little of

@vengeance hypothetically, I would probably score slightly more or similar amount of SW Asian on Eurogenes k12b but my higher Caucasus score would make me appear lighter than you in a sense?

well thats hard to say on an individual basis

in general though we are all similar . because we kurds for example will have less sw-asian but more WCA , and also more west european and north european but less caucasus than some etc

Armenians still score some North Eruo and West Euro but as you said it is less than ehat Georgians score on average. Why do you think that Georgians score more West Euro and North Euro than Armenians considering the fact that Georgians have less steppe?

not sure yet

but my theory is that it is because of more CHG . CHG is already "steppy"

Well both you and I are Northern West Asian in the end

Armenians and Assyrians had many marriages in the past (because they were both Christians) so Armenians became Semitic.

Kotia only gets 3% North Euro and 0% Western Euro on Eurogenes k12b whereas Satsurblia gets even less North Euro and the same West Euro score as Kotia

@vengeance do you consider Samaritans SW Asian or Northern West Asian? I believe you consider Northern Levantines such as Lebanese, Druze and Alawites as Northern West Asian, therefore I am curious what your thoughts are on Samaritans
