>>16900166The original Italics are pretty similar to modern Spaniards (Celtiberians) and northern Italians (Gauls) because the Italics and Celts belong to the same larger family
Modern South Italians have a strong Semitic element, similarly modern Greeks have a strong Iranic element from ancient Anatolia, but the ancient Greeks were also like this as well
Island Greeks like Creteans are almost entirely of Anatolian origin (not the same as modern Turks btw) and are genetically very close to the ancient Minoans
