Yeah... This was about America.

Whites are of european descent.

And yet time keeping preference varies between white European countries.

I notice Italy and Greece aren't on that list you pasted.

Why wouldn't it vary? Do you think all whites have the same genes?

Italy and Greece constitute the border to MENA

Italy and Greece have virtually same ancestry as northern Europeans.

Mesolithic Western Hunter Gatherers ,from 20k

Neolithic farmers from Turkey, about 9k.

Steppe ancestry from the bronze age, about 4.5k ago.

They don't have any mass amount of levantine ancestry, north African or SS African ancestry in them. No mass of modern Turkish ancestry either. They have exactly the same mix of ancestry as most Europeans, barring the Sami.

No, Italiens and Greeks don't have the same ancestry as northern Europeans.

I assure you they really do.

How do you think it differs?

[–]Dragonerne 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Swedes and greeks/italiens have around 0.008 fst

That's nothing.

No, it's a lot. It's 10 times more than between Danes and the Dutch.
