It’s amazing how many people don’t understand that. Someone who is half Irish and half Filipino could come out looking Lebanese, but it doesn’t mean they are genetically anything alike. Why people...

You thought that because Iberians and Sicilians are, arguably, more phenotypically similar than Iberians and British. And because they are both “southern European.“ However, genetically speaking,...

Right. My West Asian ancestry (as opposed to generalized north African/west Asian component!) was recent enough to score a region on its own (North Africa alone did not). Again; I’m only 1/8th...

From Messina, which is consistently the farthest "south-eastern" shifting province in Sicily, similar genetics to portions of Calabria.

I am only 1/8th Sicilian (Messina), the remainder being predominantly British Isles with one French great-grandparent (from the exact center of France) yet before the latest 23andme update I was...

Swedish Wikipedia is wrong methinks! In any case, the Balkans are undeniably part of Europe.

Messina Province the consistently darkest region of Sicily.

This is a somewhat political article, in my opinion, and they call "converso ancestry" what is really just genetic traces of North African and East Med DNA, the source of which is not necessarily -...

I'm going to pipe up here finally because you evidently don't understand how genes work. If all your grandparents are 1/4 German, let's say, you'll also be around 1/4 German which 23andMe will tell...

Messina Province has always been the most southeastwardly shifting of the Sicilian regions, on par with that of Calabria...on a genetic plot some are approaching Cyprus, even, though not quite.

Sicilians and Southern Italians are mid way between Northern Italians and Lebanese. Makes sense.

Hi, yes, I have taken that into account and those are precisely the countries I was highlighting. Their birth rates continue to decrease. Yes they have higher infant mortality rates than developed...

We're only counting the real America right now...no qualifiers needed for us. :)

Hi - from west Georgia here. Dad's fam are Yanks but Mama's family are Southern since pre-Revolutonary War...

Well obviously Southern Italians are closer to Greeks than to Northern Italians or Lebanese. That isn't up for debate. From the genetic plot maps I have seen it is entirely possible a large minority,...

So is he going to let us know or leave us hanging? I am curious because our %ages are so similar. For the record, I am essentially 3/4 British Isles (very minor German), 1/8 French (middle of...

So tell us, what's your heritage with %ages?

Where did you get this %age from?

The thing is, demographics will cease to be a major determining factor in terms of birth rate within the next 50 years as third world countries with currently high birth rates have still seen their...

You're actually FREAKISHLY similar to me. Check mine out. Now I will challenge you to guess my background as well. You can see on my profile but you'd have to guess how recent each ancestry is in my...

Link doesn't work. But conversions to and fro religions happen all the time, given there are 2.5 billion Christians and 1.5 billion Muslims...in fact, there'd be many more conversions from Islam, to...

Still, why would Western Euros have more steppe admixture than Eastern Euros?

Bump

To answer your question simply, you're mixing genotypes and phenotypes. Just because a population is blonder than another, as a simple example, does not mean that it is necessarily more northern...

I voted yes. Speaking very generally I guess if we are to say that Caucasoids are one race, then Greeks and Turks are part of the same race, along with Icelanders and Sami from Finland. The Turks...
