Which South European country has the most light pigmented and light haired/ eyed people?

[Queen B]

According to this:



And this



Bulgaria and Italy are out. (And I also agree, from my experience,too)

About my country, Greece, there are more people that are light-eyed than light-haired.

I don't know a lot about Portugal and Portuguese people, but compared to Greek and Spanish I'd say Greek.

From what I understand, northern Italy (i.e. the Po Valley and the surrounding mountains) has a lot of blonde and light-brunette, light-eyed, and even light skinned people. Maybe not the majority are as light as an Irish or Norwegian, but certainly there are plenty there who you would call of Northern European pigmentation.

I think in the South East of Italy has the same situation who Spain, people with ligh feature but as is in the South people think another thing

On 23andme they identified 3 SNPs which were linked to light eyes and hair, and a statistic using the Eurogenes samples was made. The results were these:

Lithuania 20,52%
Belarus 20,83%
Mordvinians 22,22%
Finland 23,00%
Norway 24,24%
UK 26,26%
Sweden 27,08%
Kent 28,12%
Ireland 28,89%
Vologda 29,33%
Russia 29,57%
Poland 30,77%
Germany 33,33%
Hungary 36,11%
Cornwall 36,46%
France 37,75%
Ukraine 38,10%
Bulgaria 42,31%
North Italy 42,71%
Chuvash 44,12%
Romania 45,10%
North Ossetia 53,57%
Georgia 55,83%
Central Italy 56,67%
Spain 59,65%
South Italy 60,42%
Chechnya 60,83%
Cyprus 62,50%
Armenia 62,50%
Turkey 66,00%

According to this, the answer would be Bulgaria. My own score is 33.45%, but the portuguese weren't counted.

How can one find out ones own score?

How can one find out ones own score?

Find out what you have for these SNPs:

rs1667394 - TT
rs12896399 - GT
rs12913832 - AG

According to this, the maximum score would be:

rs1667394 - TT
rs12896399 - TT
rs12913832 - GG

So, this would be 100%. Using me has an example, you can see that i have 4 of the possible 6. The calculations are:

6 -- 100%
4 -- X

X= (4*100) / 6 <=> X=66.66666

then subtract your score to 100, to have the calculations like the ranking that you quoted:

100 - 66.666 = 33.33%

Edit - My score is actually 33.33% and not 33.45% like i said.

I say it's northern and even central Italy. I think it has an higher percentage of people with light features, specially light eyes. Light hair and very fair skin not as much.

Definitely not Greece, i've been there and on average are darker than portuguese and spanish, no doubt. Could be the bulgarians but there's A LOT of gypsies so that makes it difficult to analize the ethnic-bulgarian population properly.
