Sardinians are related to Phoenicians and to the Bronze age people who built a great number of stone temples and cities on the island.

They of course descend from Romans too as thousands of colonists were sent from Central and Southern Italy to Sardinia under Roman rule.

5000 jews were also sent around 14 AD to Sardinia, and also a few thousand Sarmatians some centuries later.

But also some thousands of berbers were brought to the island by the vandals to try and fight the rebellious inhabitants, paid as mercenaries.

Later Spanish settled the island too.

This. If you go to Italy and Sardinia you can't tell them apart. They are both Italian people and they both are part of Native-European people.

The map is in 800 BC, but I would have added some settlements in Nubia, Mesopotamia and S East Turkey

Sardinians never got dicked by Aryan conquerors of Italy

>>3087403
They did, bell beakers (2000 BC) , Romans (200 BC), Vandals (440 AD), Aragona(1400 AD)

Only Central European Bell Beakers were Indo-European. Iberian ones may have dicked Sardinians, damned if I know.

The last three didn't leave behind much DNA.
