Why are North Italians lighter than Iberians?

[Universe]

Even though genetically they are not more northern than Iberians.

Their features aren't, just their coloring. Iberians have mostly Western European facial features, with a minority of exotic phenotypes.

North Italians are further from North Europeans because of their genetic input from the Caucasus, which is why a lot of long-faced, pointy types like Norid, Dinarid, etc. are present.

Northern Italians have also a lot of subnordids ans norics, these look far more northern than Iberians, which have so much med in them

Even though Iberians are genetically closer to Northern Europeans.

Because MENA admix is too strong in Iberians, i guess.

There is no Caucasus admixture in Northern Italy and Iberians are not closer to North Europeans than North Italians are.

There is no Caucasus admixture in Northern Italy and Iberians are not closer to North Europeans than North Italians are.

All Italians and Balkan people have Caucasus admixture, which Iberians have less of.

There is no Caucasus admixture in Northern Italy and Iberians are not closer to North Europeans than North Italians are.

Maybe he was talking about "Natufian", but I think South Italians in fact have strong Natufian, not Northern.

No, I didn't mean Natufian, I mean Iran Neolithic/CHG which all Italians have and all Balkan people have, which is separate from any MENA input in the area that came later and is not present in Iberians.

Iberians actually do have post-Neolithic Afroasiatic (Semitic/Berber) input, but not much Iran Neolithic/CHG.

Iberians have like 1% of Caucasus related stuff and North Italians not any more than this.

[Catarinense1998]

North-Italians have more germanic influence? South-Italians are darkwashed, I think.
