Western Europeans Similarities, Dutch and Italian similarities!!

I just wanted to point out based on anecdotal observations that I have noticed similarities among Western Europeans in the way they look. It mostly has to do with the eye shape and some other features. I have some cousins that are part Dutch and have seen many throughout the years. I am not referring to pigmentation as that varies a lot.

I think once you get to Austria it shifts from Western to an Eastern skew.

Again, this is my opinion which is anecdotal. Western Europeans just seem to look somewhat similar to me.

I wonder if the Rb1 distribution has to do with this.

You seem pretty desperately trying to connect southern and northern(western) Euros together. Italians and Dutch have little in common genetically speaking(in an European context).

I connect all people from Ireland to India. I am just stating based on observations I have seen many people over the years in the USA. All peoples from Ireland to India share similarities. I have family that are Black,Dutch,German,Italian,Polish,Irish,English. I notice differences from a west to east skew. But it is not a great difference.

I like to discuss what brings people together not what separates us. You can accuse me of whatever you want but it is based on my observation over my 35 years on earth.
