Depends on a Syrian

yeah i read something like that before.

some syrians say northern and western syrians different than other syrians lol but i don't take them serious probably it's something like western-eastern turk thing to me. there are also western-eastern turk difference but not one side northern european and other side gulf arab lol.

when comparing northern/western syrians with eastern/southern syrians you are basically comparing indigenous northern levantines from the area with bedouin tribes

i really don't know then there can really be differences lol

 

[Ben Dover]

there is a reason for why so many people believe northern levantines to be the whitest west asians

 

[KARABOĞA]

is northern&southern levantines genetically more closer to northern west asia or bedouins?

Southern Levantines such as Samaritans are closer to certain bedouin and saudi people than to even peripheral northern west asians. When it comes to northern levantines, they are on average closer to most northern west asians than to bedouin tribes

It common to see ginger and blonde syrians with blue/green eyes

 

[Ben Dover]

But they still get a lot of natufian points lol

It doesn't matter. they also get a lot of CHG and Iran_N which makes them plot closer to northern west asians.

 

[Ben Dover]

There are not only Arabs in Syria. There are also Circassians, Turks and Kurds.

They are the minority and I don't think that the G25 averages for northern levantines contain Circassians, turks, kurds in them.

 

[KARABOĞA]

i've met syrian turkmen (turkish) man he is refugee in turkey he look like german or something like that

 

[Ben Dover]

I think they took the average and put it in. Circassian, Turkish, Kurdish etc.

It doesn't seem like it

 

[KARABOĞA]

lol i don't think so

 

[Ben Dover]

As I have told you such a thing is frequent

 

[KARABOĞA]

syrian turkmen average closer to southeast turk as far as i know but i read something like they are more closer to south turkish than southeast idk is it true

 

[Ben Dover]

I think Syria is as complicated as Turkey. Some Syrians have tons of African genes. Even northern Syrians have the African gene. In this case, I do not see Syrians as white.

What amount do you consider to be a ton? Like how much african input would make someone non-caucasoid?
