Are light traits in Southern Europe due to the northern European admixture ?

[Reozek]

Some lombard and furlan alpine valleys are also around 50%, while probably some isolated sardinian or calabrian village can be even around 2-5%...a very big difference for a single country, indeed.

I'm curious about the portuguese and the french percentages.

France :

Évolution de la couleur des yeux des Français depuis la fin du XVIIe siècle.

1940 data -

North-east : blue 41% , gray 13% , dark 46%
Paris : blue 34% , 9 gray % , dark 57%
North-west : blue 29% , gray 20% , dark 51%
South-east : blue 25% , gray 11% , dark 64%
South-west : blue 23% , gray 14% , dark 63%

Bulgaria :

Contribution à l'étude anthropologique des bulgares

blue : 17,65%
gray : 22,59%
brown: 59,76%

plus green : 4,10%

Greece :

14% light eyes
86% dark "

As the former sicilian governo Raffaele Lombardo said, ''Torino è la terza città siciliana d'Italia dopo Palermo e Catania''

Turin is the third (largest) Sicilian city after Palermo and Catania. In other words, so many Sicilians live there that it is essentially ours now.

[Kastrioti1443]

Torino is well know for having a lot of sicilians, one of the mafia headquarters.

I think I found one of the studies I was referring to.

I mean they show a difference between Sicily and Northernmost italy, but much smaller than some numbers posted here. Plus, they show N. Italy to be much "darker" than "50%" light. I don't know when this study was conducted though.

The other studies that I remember were in map form and also showed a "relatively" small but still notable difference. However, I don't remember when those were conducted either.

This is a 2010 study, it's obvious that the numbers are different since basically the internal south-north immigration in the 40s-60s culturally (and phenotypically) destroyed these lands.

Would you agree with me that Palermo, light eyes are probably close to 35% and in Catania about 10%? If so, it averages out to the average.

Let me try something. Here is a sample of photos from Catania collected on anthrocivitas and here is one from Palermo. I'll calculate the light eyes in them.

Catania: http://anthrocivitas.net/forum/showthread.php?t=15264

THREE out of THIRTY TWO. ~9%


Palermo:

SEVEN out of THIRTY TWO. ~21%.

Trapani.

I think I counted 5/25.

You're both right.

But in last decades romanians and MENAs are outnumbering us italics in 5 out of 10 city districts, so...

Ah! I see. I'll try to find the other maps as well.

Do you have some datas about Greece?
