I suspect, but do not know, that the orange sliver of purported Middle Eastern descent above comes from my mom's side. A first cousin on my dad's side shows 100% European. At the moment I hypothesize that this part of my DNA is at least in part the result of a maternal line that migrate out of Egypt and around the southern edge of the Mediterranean. They arrived much later than most of the inhabitants of European. I can pick up their paper trail in Switzerland around 1600.
