There are many similar threads about other ethnicities so i was inspired by them to start this.
Levant is sandwiched between Turkey and Egypt by North and South respectively.
So as a whole, do Levantine Arabs(Syrians,Lebanese,Palestinians,Jordanians) look closer to us or Egyptians?
Please do not troll in this thread.

Turks, Egyptians have 20% of SSA on average and the most SSA admixed Levantines have 10% at most with most of them being less than 5%.
Egyptians but i've met some syrians and at first sight i thought they were turks ( some of their women wear the veil the same way the turkish women do )
Ancient Egyptians were most closely related to Levantines. Today's Egyptians are more Black so it pushes them away (because the Negroid-Caucasoid split is so large)
more ideas?
The modern Egyptians, especially the Copts, are not genetically that distinct really.Quote:

I see my other thread on genetics section was deleted. It simply asked completely legitimate scientific question. Jeez, even online forums like this can't escape censorship nowadays.Quote:

Turks are mostly anatolid+central asian+ balkan. Very different from both levantines and Egyptians.
