The meds were farmers from Anatolia who replaced the stone age hunter gatherers:
One of the most enduring and widely debated questions in prehistoric archaeology concerns the origins of Europe’s earliest farmers: Were they the descendants of local hunter-gatherers, or did they migrate from southwestern Asia, where farming began? We recover genome-wide DNA sequences from...

Then tall horsemen from the steppe invaded europe and replaced the meds
A growing body of evidence is convincing archaeologists that the Yamnaya society ruthlessly massacred opposing societies in Europe between 5,000 and 4,00 years ago.

I'm all for my eurobrothers expelling all nonwhites, retaking constantinople, driving the turks out of Anatolia...Just I also so far trust what the ancient dna is saying
Even if a jew, David Reich,

is heading the research
"which has been observed in European Neolithic farmers"
At the same time:
"Most of the modern Anatolian and Aegean populations do not appear to be the direct descendants of Neolithic peoples from the same region. Indeed, our mixture model comparison of the Aegean genomes to >200 modern groups (
2) indicates low affinity between the two Anatolian Neolithic genomes and six of eight modern Turkish samples"
Yet people assume, they were olive-skinned or even dark-skinned? That does not make any sense.

"The dissimilarity and lack of continuity of the Early Neolithic Aegean genomes to most modern Turkish and Levantine populations, in contrast to those of early central and southwestern European farmers and modern Mediterraneans, is best explained by subsequent gene flow into Anatolia from still unknown sources."
"Unkown sources"
There is also no indication, that people were originally olive-skinned. People even claim that they were not only olive-skinned but even dark-skinned but on top of that had blue eyes for some reason while on the other hand people also assume that blue eyes are also some genetic defect at the same time. Which means the so called Cheddar Man is an abomination? And a while ago, people also assumed he was also white. We also have recent statements like this as well:
"Geneticist Susan Walsh at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis, says we simply don't know his skin colour."
"The first ancient Briton may have been white after all, according to a researcher who says claims he had ‘dark to-black skin’ are 'not that simple'."
Newscientist says:
"But one of the geneticists who performed the research says the conclusion is less certain, and according to others we are not even close to knowing the skin colour of any ancient human."
We only have weird statements like this: "Professor Mark Thomas said one theory is that white skin developed in Britain and western Europe after our ancestors switched to farming – and began to eat less meat"
So, farming and eating less meat turns your skin white? That is basically the correlation here. He does not even bring up the climate. There is no evidence to it whatsoever. Science is actually all over the place when it comes to topics like this.
In the end we lack actual evidence and we have only a lot of theroies about this topic and also a lot of predictions.
Its true, all Europeans have IE steppe DNA, but it seems to be higher in the north and central. But they all have middle east farmer DNA and old europe hunter gatherer DNA as well, basically a mix of the 3. So its hard to say that they originated in the pontic-caspian steppe, but at least some of their ancestors lived there.
They have nothing to do with the Middle East of today. Once again:
""Most of the modern Anatolian and Aegean populations do not appear to be the direct descendants of Neolithic peoples from the same region. Indeed, our mixture model comparison of the Aegean genomes to >200 modern groups (
2) indicates low affinity between the two Anatolian Neolithic genomes and six of eight modern Turkish samples""
Not just the sicilians. South Italy has quite a few arab looking people. Many Greeks look similar, as do the Portuguese. Now, there are some whiter looking people from these areas, but in my experience the majority of people coming from these areas are fairly ethnic looking, including myself
