"European ethnicity doesn't exist".

[Visage pâle]

Of course there's no "European ethnicity" but there are European ethnicities.
There is some sort of common culture though (democratic values, laws, religion, history)



I'm curious to see this "survey". Distinct cultures? The culture was Italian since Middle Ages, there were only different states.

Yet peoples of european ancestry formed distincts communities in new world, africa and asia.
Your modern nationalism is mostly a XIXth century's construction.

This is related to a study done about 6 years ago. It's been discussed on different threads here. It's quite an interesting study looking at IBD sharing among Europeans.

You can read it here.

Yeah there is of course.

The title of this thread is wrong, it should be: 'European ethnicitieS don't exist' because what the article actually says is that all Europeans (as distinct from non-Europeans) are related. It seems today genetics is used to 'prove' whatever ideological agenda one has, usually, but not only, the 'Regressive Leftist' one... As a molecular biologist I can say that few, if any, studies about population genetics wholly agree with each other. There are so many confounding factors, like what genetic markers are used, the power of the study, how the samples are selected etc. Not to mention that most of genetic markers used in population studies are not affected by environmental selection, which is the main driving force behind evolution and differentiation between populations.
