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

I'm uneducated on genetics but I think there is definitely some overlap: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genet...dean_genetic_distance_using_289,160_SNPs).png

It kind of doesn't matter though. Even if there's less genetic distance between say, Iranians and Sardinians, than once thought, so what? There's (literally) an ocean of difference in history and culture spanning thousands of years. Even your literal cousin can't barge into your house and claim everything. That would be war.

Not saying anything about Iranians or Sardinians or immigration per se, just an example. A nation is more than DNA. Look at Northern Ireland or for that matter, Palestine. Family trees are important (even if we're told it's evil to think so), but it's just one piece of the puzzle.

So?

A distance of even 3 to Cypriots is not very close considering Anatolia and Cyprus are geographically beside each other.

i suggest you look up Vitruvius's post again to which i replied. my point was not to talk about absolute distances but relative ones compared to what other populations score. you're right there are no modern populations that are really close to bronze age anatolians but that wasn't my point. why didn't you reply to Vitruvius when he said bronze age anatolians would have resembled europeans instead of telling me how not even island greeks are close to them?

the actual distance is 0.05-0.06 comparable to all the other distances shown. he just cut it off after the first 5 displayed populations to make his point.

.03=3%, just saying...
