    Genetic study The arrival of the Near Eastern ancestry in Central Italy predates the onset of the Roman Empire

    I was referring to charts C and D in Jovialis' post 145 which, apart from Sardinia with its greater Anatolian Neolithic and lesser EHG, show that the various Italian and Greek areas, while not identical, overlap quite a bit.
