Ethnic or linguistic families?

[Peterski]

Please vote three times, each time for either option A or B:

Are all 1. Slavic / 2. Germanic / 3. Romance peoples related to each other?:

1a) Yes, all Slavic people are related
1b) No, Slavic is just a language family
2a) Yes, all Germanic people are related
2b) No, Germanic is just a language family
3a) Yes, all Romance/Latin people are related
3b) No, Romance is just a language family

If we believe this genetic study (link below), only Pan-Slavism has some biological basis and is supported by scientific evidence: only Slavic-speakers are truly related to each other, while Germanic-speakers are not really a group of common origin, and neither are Latins:

I think all of them are lingustic families

[Creoda]

None of them are 'a people'.

In Russia and Poland there is a lot of R1a and I2 they are our cousins.

Slavic people have a connected ethnic and lingustic. Also Germanic people have a connected ethnic and lingustic. But Romance people have a connected just lingustic.

1 Baltic 28.79
2 North_Atlantic 25.08
3 West_Med 16.52
4 East_Med 15.28
5 West_Asian 8.98
6 South_Asian 1.98

I am pretty on the spot genetically speaking.

I think, terms such as Slavic, Germanic, Turkic, Italic, Iranic, Semitic, etc. are ethnological and linguistic terms. In my opinion, they are not directly correlated with neither genotypes nor phenotypes. As for the original question, I guess, all the options are correct. At least, all the people are somewhat related to each other and the people of same meta ethnic group tend to be more related to each other.

Baltic + North_Atlantic = Slavic DNA.
