Who Is Closer genetically: Italians (All of them)/Croatians or Poles/Eastern Russians?

Continued from another great edition.

People in far eastern Russia are Mongoloids. So Croatian/Italian.

[LightInDarkness]

When I say Italian I mean North AND Far South (excluding Sicily and Sardinia). But yeah, I have to go with Italians/Croats.

[Sikeliot]

People from Veneto are probably genetically close to Croatians.

[LightInDarkness]

I'd say people from Central Italy are most like Croatians. People from Northern Italy are closer related to Swiss.

I'd say Southern Italians are closest to Greeks/Serbs/Albanians/Bosnians (maybe)

[StonyArabia]

Eastern Russians are not Slavs, so Italians and Croats would be the obvious answer in this case. If you meant that ethnic Russians who live in Siberia then they are closer to Poles and Croats probably since they share Slavic origins.

[Heartie]

eastern russians look like chinese so I vote Italians/croats

[Austrvegr]

eastern russians look like chinese

Yeah, like Australian Anglo-Saxons look Australoid.

[Padre Organtino]

What bizzare "Eastern Russians" are you talking about? Far East region of Russia has been colonized by ethnic Ukranians during Russian Empire. So people there are even closer to Poles than your average Russian. And Russians in Siberia and other colonial parts of the country didn't mix much with the natives hence they look almost like Russians from European part of the country.

Looks like they're neck and neck.
