Hello MOESAN,
The posts on the distribution of hairs on the body, at least those that I and Salento have posted, are not backed on any scientific basis. It was much more a joke we did about the distribution of hairs in the body and its possible relationship with some naenderthal gene. Nothing to take seriously. In fact there is the stereotype of the Mediterranean, hairy and low, and the stereotype of the Nordic, smooth and tall, but we did not specifically address this issue, because, as you said, are stereotypes. I am a Mediterranean type with many hairs throughout the body. However I am not low: I have 1.82 meters tall, weighing 90 kg and my eyes are clear. But since I am not really an European, I can not be used as a benchmark for comparison with any of the supposed European ethnicities, since I am possibly a mixture of the DNA of all European ethnicities with a delicious dash of SSA DNA. Big Hug and a nice weekend
OK! But phoenotypes are based on statistical trends among pops and have their utility spite we know there is no true barrier between individuals and folks, as an unique specy. At the individual level you can be very mixed but show external look very close to a (rather) collective and "pure" phoenotype. these type have no value at the individual level; only high %'s can eventually show some links with the story of a population, the most of the time on relatively short scales of time compared to long term evolution. IMO.
Thanks for answer. I was really taking all this for God's words!
