Sicanian samples in the 5th century BC Himera (in north-central Sicily) paper are similar to the preceding late Bronze Age samples from Sicily, but they had mixed a bit with foreigners in the intervening centuries. pnas.org
There are 2 Uralic mercenaries in paper - one with Y haplogroup N & one with R1a1a1b2a2 (typical Slav lineage). They are modeled as ~14% Shamanka_Eneolithic, which I think is the same as Baikal_EN, which is 80% ANA & 20% ANE. Perhaps from an Uralic group between Estonians & Mari?
@jurgenfug what do you think?
A number of dead soldiers at Himera were genetically indistinguishable from Late Bronze Age Mycenaean Greeks.
No Elymian DNA has been published yet to my knowledge, but Sicanians had a bit more CHG ancestry than their Bronze Age ancestors, so may support Thucydides claim of an Anatolian origin for their Elymian neighbors in western Sicily.
