Genetic Structure of Europeans: A View from the North–East

[Brännvin]

I haven't the link.

Ok, though I am not sure if that study is more recent than that of Nelis, published in May from this year, 2009..

From what i know these are the most recent plots : the fundamental divide in Europe doesn't seem to be "northern-southern" one, rather the "western-eastern"

Just depends on how you draw your x and y axes, it seems to me! And Europe's longer than it is wide anyway.

Our fundamental divides are more cultural - the vinicultural line - and climatic - the January isobar that runs through Poland.

Then the line is in northern France less or more ?

We have a few vinyards in the South of England, actually. I'm happy to have these traitors exiled, however...

It follows the old Roman limes, more or less.

It also looks like a lot of Soviet-Estonians were tested because a large portion of ESTs group with Russians; and anyone who knows anything about the two will know that it's incredibly easy to tell the two apart.

The common marriages between Russians and Estonians during the Soviet period were rare, not usual .And they are rare now, too.Two different ethnic groups, no mach communication between them.

The young Russians, who went to school during the new Estonian era, should speak Estonian. That makes communication easier between Russians and Estonians and that means more marriages. They're rare, but they're happening. I know several people who married Russians.

Yes, of corse there are marriages between Ests and Russians, i also know several people.I just wanted to say that according to statistics the marriages between Russians and local people i.e the Estonians in Estonia in the Soviet period were the most rare in whole Soviet Union.About 6-8 per cents.
