You got a lot of these things upside down. Southern Europeans (Italy, Greece) have a lot in common with Middle-Eastern genes. Greece and Turkey are genetically almost indistinguishable, and always have been (Greece invaded, Turkey invaded, back and forth). Northern Europe was lagging behind so long because they hadn't come up with many things that spread from the M-E. When those ideas arrived, you had a population explosion, Age of Exploration (because Europe is in an excellent position with long coasts, bringing even more ideas in) followed by new inventions coming from Northern Europe itself. It proves nothing about the superiority of Northern European genes, since other regions have gone through similar things earlier. Any snapshot of time would show a different people being "in charge" including Arabs at one point.

That is extremely untrue. Greeks are more genetically similar to Southern Italians and Sicilians. Turks are descended from Asiatic steppe people. There was some admixture during various invasions, but not enough to make the two groups even close to being "indistinguishable".

Modern Greeks are also still very similar genetically to their Mycenaean ancestors, who lived before Turks were anywhere near Anatolia.

The turkish LANGUAGE is from the Asian steppes. They did relatively little to the genetics of the people they invaded. People from Turkey are quite similar to Southern Europe. The original turkish-speakers would have looked more typically Asian.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_studies_on_Turkish_people

Several studies have concluded that the genetic haplogroups indigenous to Western Asia form the largest part of the gene pool of the present-day Turkish population

I can quote Wikipedia too:

The largest autosomal study of Turkish genetics (on 16 individuals) concluded that the Turkish population form a cluster with Southern European populations and that the East Asian (presumably Central Asian) legacy to the Turkish people is estimated to be 21.7%.
