They also differ from mainland, island and Asia Minor Greek populations who have been compared by PCA analysis, but they "partially" overlap with <a href="/wiki/Sicilians" title="Sicilians">Sicilians</a> and southern Italians. This can be explained by the fact that Maniots (along with <a href="/wiki/Tsakonia" title="Tsakonia">Tsakonians</a>) inherited the lowest amounts of Slavic <a href="/wiki/Autosome" title="Autosome">autosomal</a> ancestry throughout the <a href="/wiki/Peloponnese" title="Peloponnese">Peloponnese</a>, especially the ones from Deep Mani.

The Slavic ancestry possessed by the latter two is five to eight times higher than that of Deep Mani but lower to the ancestry the other Peloponnesians (148 samples - excluding the Tsakonians) share with the Slavs, which even though low, it's still relatively higher than Maniots (and Tsakonians) at 4.8%–14.4%. Even though Tsakonians, divided between Southerners (15 samples) and Northerners (9 samples) also possess low levels of common ancestry with the Slavs at 0.2%–0.9% and 3.9%–8.2% respectively, they remain a distinct population from both the Maniots and the rest of the Peloponnesians, something that is attributed to <a href="/wiki/Isolation_by_distance" title="Isolation by distance">isolation by distance</a> and the possibility that Tsakonia in antiquity was inhabited by <a href="/wiki/Doric_Greek" title="Doric Greek">Doric</a>-speaking <a href="/wiki/Ionians" title="Ionians">Ionians</a> (per <a href="/wiki/Herodotus" title="Herodotus">Herodotus</a>), while similarly conservative Mani by actual <a href="/wiki/Dorians" title="Dorians">Dorians</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-99" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-99"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>95<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Notable_Maniots">Notable Maniots</h2></div> <ul><li><a href="/w/index.php?title=Georgios_Antonakos&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Georgios Antonakos (page does not exist)">Georgios Antonakos</a>, Chief of Staff of Greek Air Force under the King.
