The genetic diversity of Northern Italy

[Adamastor]

Why such a small region has such a huge genetic variation? Does it mean it's less stable genetically for the last centuries, right?



In this PCA we can see that some Northern Italians are closer to Tuscans, others to Iberians and others to French.

Q, S, R, M, P (parts of Veneto, Friuli and Trento) would probably be closer to Tyroleans if they were included in the PCA, Austrian Tyroleans are probably the closest living population to what Austrians were before Slavic-admixture.

I have some Austrian Tyrolean kits and they are considerably less eastern-shifted than average Austrians, somewhat intermediary between Veneto and SW Germany.

Tuscany is practically Northern Italy though.

Tuscany is Central Italy. Even Emilia-Romagna is more of an intermediary region than Northern Italy proper.

They are on the fringes of the North, only Southern Tuscany is truly Central Italian.

Northern Italy = Lombardy, Liguria, Aosta Valley, Piedmont, Italian speaking Switzerland (NW Italy) + Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige, Friuli (NE Italy). Emilia-Romagna is more an intermediary region between NE Italy, NW Italy and Tuscany.

Many Northern Italians are considerably more northern shifted than that old Bergamo sample used in GEDmatch calculators and spammed over and over again by trolls in anthroforums.

is that Bergamo sample 100% Bergamo? that sample is probably not even fully northern italian at all
i dont trust these companies when it comes to northern italians

I wonder where do the Southern French plot?
