Are light traits in Southern Europe due to the northern European admixture ?

It depends, gheg albanians and slavs have lived together for more than 1,400 years, and still ghegs do not have baltid at all.

I don't know, but numbers for my region would be correct if also dark green-hazel eyes are included,there's no way light eyes are at 23% unless including dark green-hazel eyes,don't know about other regions though.

I am starting to think that Basilicata is lowering the real percentage of light eyes of Campania and Apulia. Just Kidding.

this is instead the % including light and mixed eyes from the same study based on martin shultz scale:

who said that livi considered Hazel eyes as light ? read again , i wrote the exact opposite...ps. actually it's 13.9% in both Livi and Cosseddu studies not 16%

my post:

"i believe Livi used a sort of Martin-Schultz scale (even if probably they weren't even born when Antropometria Militare was published) and he considered as light eyes those eye colors who correspond to 1 to 8 in the M.S. scale (pure blue to green with little yellow or brown)"

color 8 is a green with little Yellow or brown but it's not Hazel...

something like this one

The answer to the original question is no.

Light traits in southern Europe is from Up types. And those UP types are native to southern Europe also.

so the theory that nearly all the paleolithic population of Southern Europe was replaced by neolithic immigrants from the south-east is completely false ?

Yes. They mixed with each other.

Does really make some kind of differences if a region is 30 or 20% light eyed...?!?
