    Ethnic breakdown of Y-DNA in Europe

    Does "plurality" mean relative majority but less than 50%? Also, the Italian population is unevenly distributed among the North, Center, and South: 46.3% of the inhabitants reside in Northern Italy, 19.8% in Central Italy, and the remaining 33.8% in the South and on the Islands. Does the...

    Question Paternal Continuity of Modern Greeks From Ancient Greeks

    Good point, commercial testing is heavily skewed in the case of Italy too I suppose. The overwhelming majority of the Italians emigrating to North America and Australia were from the south.

    Which European countries & regions do you consider as "Celtic"?

    To me it only makes sense to define Celtic in a cultural sense, therefore only the fringes of the British Isles and Brittany (even Cornwall is hardly Celtic today).

    Stereotypes and Exotism

    Italy within itself is phenotypically different enough from region to region. Corsicans are very well within the phenotypical scope of ethnic Italians.

    Stereotypes and Exotism

    Alizee is clearly Gracile Mediterranean. Lots of Gracile Meds in both Spain and Italy and even Greece.

    Stereotypes and Exotism

    Yeah and from half a dozen other peoples from the northern Mediterranean. Also, from a genetic/autosomal standpoint, why "Ibero" and not "Italo" for example as she's definitely more related to Italy than to Iberia also considering the surnames in her family and the place she's from.

    Stereotypes and Exotism

    Yeah the black dude. Very representative of Italy. :ROFLMAO: What started off as an interesting comment from the OP has turned into a weird-ass thread...

    Alizee is from Corsica. How is she "Ibero"-French? https://ethnicelebs.com/alizee

    Stereotypes and Exotism

    In Netflix Turkish series there are very few Anatolian looking actors.

    Higher rates of rape & murder in areas of lower-Mafia activity in Italy

    Because they're poorer and there's less immigration. And if there's any, it's kept in check by the indigenous criminals rather than by the police. Also, it's by perception (where it is most "felt"). I suppose one should also not be surprised that most petty crimes and theft are not even...

    Unraveling Roman Mobility: Archaeogenomic Insights from Anatolia to the Italian Peninsula

    I have a general observation that applies to all studies, not just this one: while I'm not a statistician, I understand that small sample sizes can lead to unreliable conclusions. Specifically, limited samples are more prone to overrepresenting extreme cases, which can distort the true incidence...

    Europe What are Europe' most overrated and underrated cities and regions?

    IMHO. Most overrated capital: Dublin Most "somewhat overrated" capital: Paris Most underrated capital: I just can't think of a really underrated capital (or any single underrated city in the central and western parts of Europe for that matter - Bordeaux and Edinburgh are the closest to this...

    Nationality-related idioms around Europe

    Interesting but I had never heard "andarsene all'inglese" 🤷‍♂️ Also, in Italy we say "fumare come un turco/to smoke like a Turk" to mean someone who, of course, smokes a lot.

    New scientific evidence for the history and occupants of Tomb I (“Tomb of Persephone”) in the Great Tumulus at Vergina

    You are absolutely right. My point is that I find less disturbing to see a reasonably Southern European-looking Northern European like Colin Farrell play a Southern European character than the fact that in Hollywood (modern) Southern Europeans' spectrum goes from Dustin Hoffman to Al Pacino or...

    New scientific evidence for the history and occupants of Tomb I (“Tomb of Persephone”) in the Great Tumulus at Vergina

    To be Fair Colin Farrell looks more Southern European in his natural look.

    Iosif Lazaridis: Proto-Indo-Europeans had dark hair, brown eyes, and an intermed‌iate skin tone

    Of course. With all due respect I don't think that's even matter of debate. You come across as a reasonable person and between being "repulsed" by the idea of being linked and the idea of being connected in any meaningful way there is a lot of space in between. I think you can see my point.
