«Our data seem to confirm the hypothesis of Sandler et al. (1978) that underlines the African contribution to the Sicilian gene pool, because of the high frequencies of Hbs, cDe, and Fy (a-b-).
In a paper on mtDNA, Semino et al. (1989) found support for this hypothesis, dating back to the introduction of black slaves by Phoenicians and Romans and to the later influxes of Arab immigrants.»
«Genetic distances calculated with the Nei method (1972) are reported in Table 5. It was observed that the smallest distance lay between Germany and Hungary (0.0099) in comparison to the largest distance, which was between Palermo and Lombardy (0.2356).»
«A genetic boundary, in fact, clearly divides Sicily from north-central Italy and from northern European populations, besides the other populations from the western Mediterranean basin.»
