The Mediterranean shores stretching between Sicily, Southern Italy and the
Southern Balkans witnessed a long series of migration processes and cultural
exchanges. Accordingly, present-day population diversity is composed by multiple
genetic layers, which make the deciphering of different ancestral and historical
contributes particularly challenging. We address this issue by genotyping 511
samples from 23 populations of Sicily, Southern Italy, Greece and Albania with
the Illumina GenoChip Array, also including new samples from Albanian- and
Greek-speaking ethno-linguistic minorities of Southern Italy. Our results reveal
a shared Mediterranean genetic continuity, extending from Sicily to Cyprus, where
Southern Italian populations appear genetically closer to Greek-speaking islands
than to continental Greece. Besides a predominant Neolithic background, we
identify traces of Post-Neolithic Levantine- and Caucasus-related ancestries,
compatible with maritime Bronze-Age migrations. We argue that these results may
have important implications in the cultural history of Europe, such as in the
diffusion of some Indo-European languages. Instead, recent historical expansions
from North-Eastern Europe account for the observed differentiation of present-day
continental Southern Balkan groups. Patterns of IBD-sharing directly reconnect
Albanian-speaking Arbereshe with a recent Balkan-source origin, while
Greek-speaking communities of Southern Italy cluster with their Italian-speaking
neighbours suggesting a long-term history of presence in Southern Italy.
