    Default Can people of the same ethnicity be in different genetic clusters?

    If you ask me, I would say yes. At least for my own ethnicity, upbringing is more important than having similar DNA.

    People of the same ethnic origin tend to be genetically close to each other than a people of any other ethnicity. Therefore all I can say is, ethnicity is not solely a result of upbringing.

    People of the same ancestral and racial origin tend to be genetically close to each other. Definition of ethnicity changes from ethnicity to ethnicity.

    Sure I guess. If we were to say my ethnicity is white/Anglo American for example, that group can theoretically include people from all over Europe and the world now.

    Are they considered as a single ethnicity, or Maghreb is just the northern region of North Africa which consists of several different ethnic groups?

    Are they also direct descendants of proto-Turkic people?
