I think the Sardinian people look like ordinary Europeans.

[L.o.l.i.t.a]

The fact that they do not have 'northern ancestry' does not change much in my opinion.

They definitely do, why wouldn't they? After all, they are an island that happened to be located in Europe.

Except the last guy(who looks very MENA influenced), those are pretty cherrypicked.

Also, of course Sardinians have "northern" ancestry lol. They are 55% native European HG, or if you really want to pretend Neolithic Farmers were some pure race, they have 10% extra native European HG over the original Anatolian farmer migrants.

You forgot to include Sardinians like this:





















According to the Hirisplex-S(this is the latest, 2018 version) SNP pigmentation prediction system, Sardinians are the only Europeans with actually truly dark skinned people(the darker shade practically missing in Iberia and Tuscany), and are the darkest in Europe overall:



Also, what are "ordinary Europeans"? The latitude center of Europe's population centers(so not including arctic areas, etc) will be around Bavaria, and most of those people you posted don't pass there. How can someone look "ordinary European" if they don't pass in the center of the continent? I would say only the first 3 girls pass.

And despite all that, not only are they European, but their genetic was on European soil before than your ancestors (or mines), since (in theory) they have the most similar genetics to most of the Neolithic Europeans, so (in theory) they lack the Indo-European component, which arrived several thousand years after the EEF.

Indo-European isn't a race

and the Volga region is in geographic Europe.

The wog portion of EEF did arrive in Europe before the wog portion of Indo-European(CHG), though.

Yours that seem to have been handpicked. Anyone who has doubts just put 'Sardinian people' on google. I see in them the same diversity that I see in Europe.

Interesting how France has a tiny minority of "very pale" people that not even Brits have. I wonder why that would be the case.

And the Neolithic people already had alleles of clear pigmentation long before European hunters and gatherers. Old samples from Anatolia were already recessive for fair skin. I very much doubt that the 'dark skin' reported in Sardinia is not the result of sun exposure.

Is that map based on skin colour genetics or actual skin colour? the figures for the Basques i think seem overblown and in reality should be between the Iberians and the French.

Edit: It's only about skin color genetics, although it is pretty weird how France has actual wog people according to that.
