Humanity is and has always been a continuum of varieties of looks witch statistically change progressevely with geography. It is not a question of southern European been a "mix" of two other supposed "pure" group. It is just a question of geographical transition. Every individual a transition between others...
What create gaps between peoples is not looks (which varies inside the continuum), but cultures and political boundaries wich create a sense of belonging and facilitates the emergence of a specific "genetic cocktail".
Actually most people called "arabs" do not descend from Arabia... Original arabians were not from the mediterranean area but from Arabian Peninsula. They spread their culture, language and religion to some mediterraean peoples, which became cultural arabs. But is is a nonsense as speaking about nowadays arab people as if they were a genetically unified people when they are just a cultural group...
The history of early migration to Europe has been changing somewhat in the last few years thanks to modern DNA science. If you are interested, search on Google under "ancient DNA", or go to Nature News and type in the same search words.
They descend directly from God itself and remain pure and holy.
Redheads happen when they procreate with non Northern Europeans, hence the mark of Satan is embedded into their hair color.
No there is no specific "mark". The great increase of the red hair gene in Northern European populations is only linked to adaptation to a cloudy and dark climate (gloomy) over past millenia. So due to the lack of enough sunlight, people who are naturally pale absorb faster Vitamin D from sunlight in the dull and cloudy climate of northern Britain. This is why people carrying the red hair gene have the fairest skins, in order to soak up more UV rays helping generate more Vitamin D in their bodies and in turn develop stronger teeth and bones - giving carriers a reproductive advantage. So many times, when we see those Scottish people who have a pale skin which fails to tan despite having dark hair, the red hair gene is to blame according to Katie Barnes a geneticist for the Scotland DNA Project.

Wise one, please, you're talking some crazy talk!
You're starting to sound like those mad men that speak of the Earth being round and blood being pumped OUT of the heart and back into circulation!? (Such a preposterous idea!!!!)
Stop this nonesense or I'll have to revoke your title. It was hard enough to convince the council not to burn you at the stake due to your hair color, and now you're talking of some 'adaptation' asshattery.

I'm asking because Southern Europeans often overlap with both populations. I don't think there has ever been any genetic study that found Southern Europeans as homogeneous.
No! Southern Europeans are no less European than Northern Europeans! They might be different from them but are not quite as you say a mixture between Arabs and Swedes. Definitely not.
This is an example of a Northern European Cromagnid of the Borreby type (Most common in Denmark, Southern Norway (especially Jaeren) and Northern Germany (especially Fehmarn).
Example below:
Different from a standard or classical European Mediterranean from the Gracile Mediterranid type (most common in the Iberian Peninsula and southern Italy).
Example below:
Both of these phenotypes are most common in European populations. They are among the many phenotypes that are found amongst Europeans.
The Arabid phenotype (Non-European) is most common in the Levant region, and is minor element in Western Asia. This type is usually mixed with the Armenid phenotype.
