Balts and Slavs, what's the difference?

[Peterski]

In Living DNA I score 43.5% of Baltics-related ancestry:

Interesting. I’m confused by the results of the study. Poles show genetic continuity to the Bronze Age but they’re genetically similar to East Slavs.

It depends on which Poles though. IIRC Poles from Mazovia are overrepresented in those studies and they share the biggest similarity to East Slavs. People from further West or extreme south (for instance Zakopane, Bielsko-Biała, Muszyna) are pretty different on average already. They even do look quite different.

Mainly their phenotypes, food, and languages.
