Reggio. Closest province to Sicily.
they are pretty much the same , in both studies light eyes are from pure blue to gray and green with some brown (Ojos garzos in spanish) hazel excluded...basques have about 19% of hazel and they are not counted as light otherwise Vasco-Navarra would be almost 60% light eyed...even in the study of Livi Hazel are classified as "brown"...
We and Ibericus have discussed this stuff for months. Those 2 studies use different scales and are not comparable. For examples Hoyoz-Sanz considers light eyes with brown sposts as light, unlike Livi.
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) ...in this study about Sardinian pigmentation the percentage of light eyes correspond exactly with that of Livi : 13.9% (Martin Schutz scale 1 to 8) IMO it can't be a coincidence

Maybe instead of spouting nonsense then, explain to me why Pontic Greeks on 23andme cluster near EliasAlucard (an ASSYRIAN) and where Armenians cluster, and not near any of the Greeks?
One of the posters also posted Pontians' Doug McDonald and Dodecad results and they came out like an 100% Armenian.
Light traits are not exclusively Northern European. Hell you are going to find light traits even in Socotra with no genetic affinity to Northern Europeans.

ΝΑΙ. Σπάστα όλα.
i think the Martin scale (not Martin-Schultz) because if i remember correctly very light eyes in Coon's work are numbered 16 , 15 , 14 etc..
you can find it here at page 207 : http://www.persee.fr/web/revues/home...8_num_3_3_1417
That's not true. Livi's survey realised in the XIX century didn't consider hazel, light brown and amber eyes as light eyes, but only blue, grey and green. While in the study regarding Sardinians by Cosseddu realised in 1983, the percentage of true light eyes (pure blue, grey and green) (based on Martin Shultz scale) is 16%.
this is instead the % including light and mixed eyes from the same study based on martin shultz scale:

that's correct. That percentage of pure light eyes is also confirmed from a previous study by the anthropologist Carlo Maxia entitled "LE CARATTERISTICHE DELLA PIGMENTAZIONE DEI CAPELLI, DELLE IRIDI E DELLA CUTE NEI GIOVANETTI DAI 6 AI 14 ANNI IN 123 COMUNI E FRAZIONI DELLA SARDEGNA":
blue 4,24%
grey 5,37%
green 6,27%
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.
Does really make some kind of differences if a region is 30 or 20% light eyed...?!?
That's one of the things I always laugh in this forum. that its the Slavic influence that lightens Greeks or a light Greek has Slavic influence.
Then, every dark Slav has Greek influence since they are geniounly light and we are geniounly dark? ;)
So, my mother, which is from Zakynthos, why she is light? Why there is a big amount of light Ionians? Or Sfakians?
And your point is ? Dorians were Greeks:
"The Dorians (Greek: Δωριεῖς, Dōrieis, singular Δωριεύς, Dōrieus) were one of the four major Greek ethnē into which the Greeks, or Hellenes, of the ancient period considered themselves divided (along with the Aeolians, Achaeans and Ionians).[1] Ethnos has the sense of ethnic group.[2] Herodotus uses the word with regard to them.[3] They are almost always referenced as just "the Dorians", as they are in the earliest literary mention of them in Odyssey,[4] where they already can be found inhabiting the island of Crete."
then why Sardinia , who had been populated since the paleolithic and it's rather conservative , have only 14% of Northern Euro aDNA ?

Are you trying to link the Dorians with Gheg Albanians and Montenegrins? http://mrwgifs.com/wp-content/upload...nfused-Gif.gif
Also, for everyone here, please note that the Dorian invasion has historicity but did not happen as the ancients described it, as no archaeological evidence exists for such an invasion. It most likely represents population movements within Greece rather than an invasion. In fact, the Dorian invasion was an attempt to explain how the remnants of Mycenaean Greece transitioned into the early Classical era through the Greek Dark Ages. In other words, it was more likely than not an attempt to explain the evolution of Mycenaean Greek traditions into the classical ones.
So don't try to depict "Dorians" as some sort of blond Ubermensch invading from the far-north or something.
