There are a lot of questions and no answers. Polako and his works are interesting only to members of the project.

Yes, a lot of questions, but at least we're all looking for answers instead of standing from the side and criticizing. Why don't you join the project too?

You shouldn't take his tests literally but they are interesting to explore for us. :)

Mine are in bold.

As loki said it's really a good insight, and I have discovered a few recurrents things that can be explained in contrast with Alex' results. I always get to be more "Southern or Mediterranean or any label applied to it" than "Western" by a bit, and at the same time, i tend to have more "Northern" than "British/Atlantic" or the name you like best for it and in this, I almost lead Iberians, the difference with Alex here is just ridiculous: 9-20. He is more balanced with the Northwest rate.

How is the Baltic thing in Iberians? I don't get why some appear to have none and others like you 7 or higher. :confused:

Having lots of South European could be a leftover from Roman times. The Romans loved going to Hibernia and the peninsula was loyal to the Roman Empire until the very end when the Visigoths conquered it.

I'm a bad example to choose for a comparison because i have a very low "North European" in comparison with most other iberians. In other words, your results are more in line with other iberians than mine.
From what i see, there are more iberians with a more "North European" and low "North Atlantic" than the other way around.

As for the Baltic i think it can be explained with east germanic tribes? Suebians or Vandals. If not, then it's some old pre-historic connection.

We haven't concluded on anything, it's all theory and that's what we are doing... theorising.

Yes, I picked you for being the only Iberian for comparison, anyway... and even if you are Portuguese I compared my rates with yours, keeping in mind the Spanish average standard of 15% NW and 15% NE: your northWest European keeps itself according to the Spanish average of 15% while mine is considerably lower. Then your North European is lower than the Spanish average but still higher than my Northwest. I suspect that the Portuguese average numbers must not be very far from this. What is sure is that neither you or me are the best Iberian specimen to set as an example, being both unbalanced to a side. :p

Hmmm, don't know, don't know. I rather lean towards the "neolithic" thing that, for circumstances, are more present in my genes than the average Iberian. I don't even know what's the average though.
