Question about Deep Mani region Greece

This region of the extreme southern Peloponnese is a genetic outlier for mainland Greece and is firmly within the Aegean islands genetic cluster.

How did this region remain isolated, and when did their genetic profile form?

It seems like they should be descended primarily from the same wave of people in these ancient Corinth samples with only minor later admixture.

Even the Cyclades have more admixture than Deep Mani.

Who is the closest European relative to Egyptians?

I feel like because they are in North Africa it probably is Spain or Portugal… also as they have a higher Subsaharan than other South Euros. I notice some physical similarities between some Copts and Iberians too… thoughts?
