it's universally recognised among scholars in the field of genetics that the levantine christians are the most native levantines, these are the arab christians of lebanon and jordan. they are up to 90% genetically similar to the pre medieval local populations. when comparing alawites to lebanese christians and other surrounding populations such as turks and iraqis it becomes evident that alawites can only be half native and half immigrants from the surrounding region. alawites are probably as culturally and genetically similar to their supposed ancient ancestors as modern mexicans are culturally and genetically similar to the pre columbian native americans.
