What we  do know from prior papers,  that  modern (Southern) Italians are   
   almost identical to Bronze Age Southern Europeans and  that  Sicilians and   
   other Southern Italians are the only Italians who  overlap with the   
   Mycenaeans. So  the Southern Italians,   
    and partially the Romans,  were of the same stock as Mycenaeans basically,   
   being Neolithic + CHG-rich IE types.  The Iron Age/ Republic  period with "60%   
   overlap" with Northern Italians seems to imply that there was some sorta   
   Northern Italian-like    
   movement of people, probably more Steppe Yamnaya infused peoples into Romans   
   of this periods genepool, but they didnt seem to last the subsequent periods   
   -  as the Iron Age/Republic era's 40% "Southern Italian/Sicilian would only   
   increase and dominate    
   the following periods. So basically modern  Latins are predominately  Greek,   
   Cypriot, South Italians/Sicilian but closest to Sicilians with some Northern   
   Italian, Spanish and French and thus ultimately   end up as modern "Central   
   Italians"
