    I think genetically East vs West Europe divide is greater

    They are all vastly different and that is great.

    Genetically the greatest differences are between North and South and then a lesser divide between West and East. This can be seen in any genetic plot. This has been found to be the case in all genetic studies.

    Quoting Razib Khan here.

    This confirms previous findings that the largest component of variation in Europe is north-south (at least evaluating to the west of a particular geographical cutoff), with a secondary east-west dimension.

    But when I look at plots, I notice a pretty big gap from lets say Russia to Ireland or Estonia to England despite the fact that they are both pretty north shifted. There seems to be a fairly big horizontal gap between British Isles and Northern Slavs.

    Taking this as reference, the distance from Estonians to Sicilians is less than the distance from Basques to some Russian groups or Finns.



    Geographically there also a bigger distance west-east than north-south.

    Russia and Ireland are both at the extremes of Europe but Ireland is closer to East Germany genetically than before any Southern European country. That is before North Spanish areas which are in Western Europe. This is Ancestry's newest genetic plot. You can see Spain and Italy form their own clusters here.



    Here's another plot that illustrates that the biggest divide is north to south. This is the view of geneticists by the way but it is obvious to any novice interested in genetics as well.

    Makes sense since Irish are sensitive to the brown southern european disease called gluten.

    That's Daco Celtic's relatives. I love gluten products.

    It's only a small percentage of Irish people and they are shunned at the bar.
