25% ENF ancestry among Finns? This makes no sense... Not only that Finland was never in the path of ENF: it was populated by Mesolithic Hunter-Gatherers before Aryans came, but also it has lowest concentration in Europe (near absence, that is) of any ENF / West Asian phenotypes: almost no meds, alpines, dinarics, etc. As always, racial anthropology matches history much better than genetic mumbo-jumbo
Aryan aka "Steppe" ancestry is also over-inflated, Mesolithic HG extremely underestimated (judging how MUCH more common today are indigenous CM-derivative phenotypes than Corded). Perhaps the two should be taken together? Anyway, I don't see any value in these results:
- Southern Italians (Neapolitans, Calabrians) just SLIGHTLY less Aryan than French (25% vs 35%)... Former area cannot have, historically speaking (as confirmed by phenotypes) more than 10% influence: it was briefly invaded by Italics then Greeks started to build cities on the coast but not only those two were very mixed already (definitely not pred. Aryan to begin with), the bulk of the population remained more or less unaffected since pre-Italic times (hence Meds, Alpines, Dinarics and even Armenoids pretty much everywhere)
