Italian average or Spanish average, which one is genetically more French-like?

Italian average or Spanish average, which one is genetically more French-like?

Obviously the Spanish average.

Spanish of course

Distance to:	French_Average
0.03136479	Spanish_Average
0.06590685	Italian_Average

Not only that, but the all the Spanish averages are closer to the French average compared to all Italian averages:

Distance to:	French_Average
0.02744429	Spanish_East
0.03136479	Spanish_Average
0.03137348	Spanish_Central
0.03725209	Spanish_West
0.03900507	Italian_North
0.06590685	Italian_Average
0.06890368	Italian_Central
0.09111312	Italian_South

I also tested all the French averages as well:

Distance to:	French_North
0.04399255	Spanish_East
0.04733717	Spanish_Average
0.04763242	Iberian_Average
0.04772675	Spanish_Central
0.05016944	Italian_North
0.05179947	Spanish_West
0.07559737	Italian_Average
0.07847735	Italian_Central
0.10004395	Italian_South

Distance to:	French_Center
0.02481853	Spanish_East
0.02882951	Spanish_Central
0.02887397	Spanish_Average

0.03504238	Spanish_West
0.03758956	Italian_North
0.06468645	Italian_Average
0.06772169	Italian_Central
0.08996323	Italian_South

Distance to:	French_South
0.01483167	Spanish_East
0.01885774	Spanish_Central
0.01970918	Spanish_Average
0.02013801	Iberian_Average
0.02763539	Spanish_West
0.03385187	Italian_North
0.06036178	Italian_Average
0.06332404	Italian_Central
0.08552384	Italian_South

All of them were closer to the Spanish East, Central and Average, with only the French North being slightly closer to the Italian North, and only because the Spanish West is the most North African-Admixed out of all the regions (similar to the Portuguese Average).

It's just like as if you used South Tyroleans to compare Italians to Germans.

Spanish but North Italian is close too.
