What if we give a prize to Nobody1 (at least) as the fastest relevant data hunter on the web? Nobody1, I like your way of communicating by representing facts (by the way, as on the forum the genetic character traits are discussed: that's very german of you).

Siculi were probably (predominantly) italics, while there is controversy concerning the (predominant) indoeuropean or preindoeuropean origin of Sicani. What is clear from the R1b-U152 distribution map in Sicily is that this haplogroup increases from east to west, thus suggesting the push...

Not a suprise. Bologna was occupied by Lombards, in a period in which its population was at the minimum level and all lived inside the small difensive walls (the legend says that the guardians on the defensive walls could speak each other from opposite points). The Lombards settled in...

Sorry for my very late reply. I have not read the forum for long time due to hard work. I think that (starting from wiki) you have already found data regarding this population that migrated to southern Russia starting from 1762 on. I don't know yet from which part of Germany they mainly came...

I understand your remark. Yet it is to be explained how the area of concentration represented on the map could corrispond quite enterely to the zone hinabited by Bessarabian Germans. It can't be by a mere chance. After all your hipotetical conclusion according to which the colonizators...

Medieval Lombards could have contributed to R1-U152 presence in Sicily, but not predominantly. Don't forget that the ancient population named "Siculi" were problably Italics. The low ratio of R1b-U152 legacy in Sicily is compatible with a penetrations of Italics in South Italy (and Sicily)...

You should be only proud of the italian amazing variety of genes....

Maciamo, you say "Many character traits are genetic, and individualism is certainly one of the most genetic of them all" Sorry, which are the scientifical proofs of this statement? Which is the gene of individualism? which are the genes of the other "many character traits" you mention?

Any data concerning the russian area inhabited by the Volga Germans? In the area a higher frequency of germanic haplogroups should be found.

The presence of 12b in the area between Ukraine and Romania/Moldova seems to be more compatible with the legacy of Bessarabia Germans who immigrated over there (mainly from South Germany) starting from 1814 up to 1842, reaching the number of 90.000 persons and more during the XX century.

I've always lived in Milan, but my parents come from north Apulia, some kilometres away from the town of Lucera, a place that should be interesting from a genetical point of view, as during Middle ages its population reached -they say- the number of 60.000 people and was almost entirely...

Hi Maciamo. Thank you for this great idea of yours that is Eupedia. Two notations: - I expected that in some zones of Umbria and Toscana the Lombard impact was as high as in north-western Italy at least: in fact the existence of Duchy of Tuscia and the Duchy of Spoleto suggested a significant...
