Italians are darker than Greeks

I notice a clear difference, it is clearly noticeable

This also makes sense because Greece is more cloudy than Italy despite being further south, this involves a lower risk of sunburn and skin cancer than Italy and a greater risk of vitamin D deficiency, therefore selection for fair skin.

(The Italians in the video are in winter, the Greeks in summer, so the difference is even greater all things being equal)

Italians are darker than Greeks

No, they are not.

[manu15151513]

No, they are not.

Here he is on time, the idiot who without even bothering for a fraction of a second to see the videos immediately sentences. It seems to me so, instead.

Sorry for not letting you throw bullshit around.

Well here's the thing when you generalize it's absolute nonsense. Eastern Aegean Islanders, Greek Cypriots (who really aren't Greek in a traditional sense but have continental Greek admixture) and Siclians, Calabrians, and/or possibly other Western/Southern Italians are probably somewhat similar in pigmentation. I would guess you could include some Cretans in that mix as well. When you get to mainland Greece it gets tricky particularly since you have such significant Indo European and/or Slavic admixture in this population whereas South/Central Italy has probably higher farmer admixture. I've noticed that when you compare mainland Greece to South/Central Italy Greeks are typically a bit lighter.

You're a retarded Russian, you don't even know where the map is on the geographic map and you don't even have the intelligence to look at faces in videos instead of spitting bullshit, what the fuck do you want to know, you idiot.

I mean in general, of course there is a regional gradient. The Slavic mixture has nothing to do with it, natural selection in a few generations can radically change the pigmentation. There is more cloudiness, so the selection favored lighter skin. Strange that nobody, absolutely nobody, realizes that the uv index is completely correlated in a millimeter way, village from village, province to province, to pigmentation. Everyone invokes mix bullshit that has nothing to do with explaining pigment differences.

How can Italy be more sunny than Greece when Italy is northern than Greece?

[Colan]

I highly doubt Italians are darker than Greeks on AVERAGE
