Which Italian region are you closest to (scaled)

[Erronkari]

I'm very surprised of your very short distances with French and Italian references.

And it's rare that I haven't any similarity with sicilian genetics....
Could be my sicilian bisnonno descendant of northern italians settled in Palazzo Adriano, Sicily?

then why do so many people making DIY models use scaled source populations if unscaled will produce better results?

he said unscaled provides better distances, not better results.

I'm very unexpert (better said illiterate) on this. I just said this based on what I read (don't remember if in Eurogenes or in this forum) that unscaled coordinates work better with modern populations, and scaled coordinates work better with ancient populations. And I'm seeing that we get much shorter distances when we play with unscaled source and target coordinates than with scaled ones.

doesn't closer distance equal more accurate results? I mean closer to zero is the goal it seems when people start picking populations for regionally mixed people. isn't 1.575 of group mix 25/25/50 better than 2.575 of a similar group mix 20/35/45?

And precisely unscaled coordinates are giving me shorter distances with modern populations.

That's what I meant when I said "better distances": shorter distances.

I edited my example distances/pop numbers but yeah, I guess I get it.
