In the country that you live in, do the phenotypes change more from North to South or from East to West?

In Turkey, it seems like East to West change is more than North to South.

In the US, its hard to categorize such a bilateral division, but I'd say north-south. The north is majority White with a diversity of minorities from East Asia, South Asia, Blacks, Hispanics, etc. The south has a plurality of Whites for the most part but wiith a very large Black population in the southeast and a very large Hispanic one in the southwest.

In Pakistan, its easily an east-west division, no debate. But within Pashtuns, the genetic (& presumably phenotypic) and linguistic division is mainly north-south rather than east-west.

With multiethnic countries it varies, but with most monoethnic countries, the divide tends to be usually more north to south. But there are some monoethnic countries with a greater east to west division, usually those whose west to east border is longer than their north to south border (e.g. Czechia, Ukraine, Hungary, etc).

Within the ethnic Turk regions of Turkey, would the division still be east to south or more north to south? I'd imagine it'd be more of an inland-coastal division, but maybe more north-south than east-west.

North to South. Norway and Sweden are long, thin countries.

North to South in US

In India, I'd say Northwest/southeast moreso than anything else.. so phenos change in both directions form north/south and east/west.

In Turkey, East to West diversity is more than North to South.
