Because historically is basically impossible for people from that village from Ștefan Vodă to have such result. People from that village live in a former Tatar territory, and they migrated in that area from more northern parts. They phenotipically don't differer from other Moldavians who live much more north, except some local minor exotism.

So David Reich is cooking his data now?

Let's not forget that you classified me phenotypically as, I quote, "Dinaro-Med Balkan look", when my ancestry is 2/4 Central, 1/4 Southern and 1/4 Ukrainian.
So you have at least one example that the phenotype doesn't necessarily match the genotype.

You can believe what you want, I don't believe, technically people from that village need too look very southern, not so far from Greeks, but they are the opposite.

You know, for all the people that I've posted in this thread, I have their photos too, so perhaps do your research too and then you will learn for yourself that phenotypes are quite distant from genotypes. They are too ambiguous to try and predict someone's autosomal breakdown.

This is individually, is different than an entire group look like this.

Bulgarians look closer to Moldovans than to Greeks, at least in my opinion.

Phenotype is always close to your genotype, what you say is mostly on an individual level.

two Moldovan guys having a conversation in good English - no one in Bucharest would believe it. one, because why would Moldovans speak to each other other then in Russian or they gibberish Moldovan dialect? then, in English?! lol, yeah, sure xD

because one of the ideas that Romanians have of Moldovans is that the Moldovan youth speaks no English. I don't know where this stereotype comes from. there's a lot of Moldovans working corporate jobs in Romania, I assume they must speak good English to be hired.

Do you have the Gypsy woman's photo? And her mixed children. What do they look like?
