There is a funny video on youtube, you can find it serach: Italian-Indian
it is really true.
Thats a good one, though he is referring to Italians not southern ones (I hope that dosen't make you angry :grin more related to the humor thread. Standing comedians are great just love them.
Something more related to the subject since I was curious with your interesting analysis. I thought you had a new study or something similar.
- A 2013 study by Peristera Paschou et al. confirms that the Mediterranean Sea has acted as a strong barrier to gene flow through geographic isolation following initial settlements. Samples from (Northern) Italy, Tuscany, Sicily and Sardinia are closest to other Southern Europeans from Iberia, the Balkans and Greece, who are in turn closest to the Neolithic migrants that spread farming throughout Europe, represented here by the Cappadocian sample from Anatolia. But there hasn't been any significant admixture from the Middle East or North Africa into Italy and the rest of Southern Europe since then.[29]
