Light eyes map of Europe (detail, scientifically backed)

[Supercomputer]

ScotlandDNA did measure all eye colours but decided to not release their data lol. Very helpful.

Any idea whats going on with the London area in this map?

Really? How do you know that? It wouldn't surprise me, ScotlandDNA is shady I read negative things about it's founder Alistair Moffat.

Then I would have to have data for pure dark eyes for all countries of Europe which I don't. Many studies grouped hazel eyes with brown. Russia likely isn't 100% regionally correct, but it's probably not far off. As a whole it's 67% light eyed (roughly the same as Poland, but with more regional spread) and it looks so on the map.

Well yeah, problems with standartisation as always.

Yeah but I still think the map has a lot of value. Certainly better than ToeKneeHwin's map in which regional difference for every country were entirely speculative.

I've been working on this map for about 4 years constantly improving it as I get more data. I've tried to be as objective and detailed as possible. I know it's a bold attempt to try to synchronize studies for whole Europe, but I think that using educated guesses it's possible to create a valuable map - at least better than some of the unsourced maps posted here in the past.

Let me remind you this is WORK IN PROGRESS and will undoubtedly change in the future as I (hopefully) get more studies.



I accept constructive inputs aimed at improving the map accompanied by scientific studies, but NOT arguments like "BS I've been to those places" or "Country X is lighter because I said so..."

I'll give you direct source for the particular study if you ask.

Serbia has data on regional differences and a few regions are outside the 20-35 range according to the post by you:

Yeah, initially I had Smederevo and Sabac counties from 1909 above 35% while Cuprija and Toplica below 20% like the Wiazemsky map shows, however I decided to put all Serbia in the Serbian average (which is 29% according to four studies) because there is a very wide range (as high as 49% light and as low as 10%) strongly suggesting a small sample size per county.

nice job mate. Will satisfy all our autism for a few days

RE; the UK I am suprised cornwall isn't a darker pocket, and suprised yorkshire isn't a lighter pocket. But I think those might be sterotypical assumptions anyway.

Matches closely to that bulgarian guys study.

BTW do you have any Idea where this comes from:

https://archive-media-1.nyafuu.org/b...0808325013.png It looks like they used blue eyes only for wales for example. But used blue+green+hazel for other countries

Please use a proper eye colour map. Also use your logic, how can be Southern England and Wales be darker-eyed than France or Belgium or the Netherlands? It doesn't make sense?

Because the British descend from Iberians via the atlantic seasboard.

According to searchs i've done recently, south east spain is more like 25-30% of light eyes. Its one of the lightest era in Iberia imo. Some part of southern France are rather around 40% of light eyes in Drôme Vaucluse northern Provence and even some parts of south west. I would say light eyes in southern France are arround 35%, 20% is very few in this region. I doubt there is a single french departement under 25% if you take only natives.

Thanks. Took me a lot of work. Germany is based on around 500 sub-divisions from the Virchow study with several thousand samples per county I calculated myself for each one:

France is based on Chamla study map I already made:

https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...-France-(1940)

but I will update it when ikiriu finishes his work of updating it to 500 samples per departma here:

https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...rtements/page5

Italy part is based on Livi but he only provided numbers per Italian state, which wasn't detailed enough for me, so I took the map of blonde type here which is much more detailed:



and calculate how much light eyes correlate with blonde type for each individual county to get where the probable line for 20 and 35% within each state.

Only Russia part is flawed. The only available data for regions is based on average eye color from Bunak so I've made the rough assumption that areas with lightest average eye color are >80% and the darkest areas are <65% or <50% light. There just isn't better data available.

I am sorry Supercomputer. I have a high regard for the work that you have done in four years, combining various maps and i think it was meticulously done. We are all entitled to our various opinions. However I disagree with combining various works due to the fact that scales are different, especially the further we go back. Interpretations would vary.
The German map is old. Although through in my studies, about 35% of Germans are blue-eyed.
Your French map needs update. This is the latest study for blue eyes in France per department! Ranging from 10% (Ariege in Southwest France and the Seine) to 35% (Mayenne in Northwest).

You need to "get on board" as they say! The people of the British Isles are not descended from Iberians!Ha!ha!ha!ha!ha! Update yourself. Leave the "Atlantic seaboard" garbage, there is none of that! Do you even know with which European populations that The British Islanders cluster with closely. You need to talk to O'Malley.

However O' Malley might offer more details on genetic distances.
