Here’s reconstruction of the Mycenaean girl,
But genetic studies on Mycenaean samples suggest that they were closest to modern Greeks and southern Italians, and to a lesser-extent, even some Levantine groups would score quite close,
But the reconstruction does not represent the results of these genetic studies at all. The girl does not look like a typical Greek or southern Italian, and CERTAINLY not a Levantine..
I am aware that there are some Greeks and other Mediterraneans who may look alike her phenotype. But she looks more generally ‘northern/western’ (Irish, English, Scottish, and perhaps French). Not much like the average medcel. And what are the odds that they just so ‘happened’ to ‘coincidentally’ find the 2/15 Greek with these northern features.. doesn’t seem likely.
Very conflicting studies from both ends, and I don’t know which to believe.
