I see, however I fail to reconcile that with the fact that unemployment rate in Italy is only 5%. Does it highlight that a lot of working-age people are not looking for a job to begin with?

I knew Italy's problem was with productivity rather than working hours per se.

Interesting. I wonder what income do you need to live a "happy" life in London, Singapore or San Francisco. Sure not the same as in Barcelona.

Agreed.

I think this mixes up two different things: genetic admixture and phenotype. A map showing “Germanic ancestry” or “Germanic admixture” is not claiming that Italians should look like North Germans or Scandinavians. It is usually measuring segments of DNA statistically associated with ancient or...

>25% Germanic ancestry in Friuli Venezia Giulia is too high. In general these maps look very arbitrary to me.

Thank you. I love all selections, but cityscapes in particular as I live in Milan and I see some of those places almost daily (sure, almost 200 years later).

May bullying in part depend on perception too, deriving from sensitivities specific to each country maybe?

I’d nuance the treatment of Trentino. Historically, Trentino was part of the wider Tyrolean/Habsburg space (often called Italian Tyrol or Welschtirol) so its inclusion in a broader “Tyrol” is not baseless. But culturally it is not simply the same thing as German-speaking Tyrol or South Tyrol...

Interesting. The percentage of the Germans who see the French as culturally closest looks higher than I would have thought. I would have definitely imagined that they saw at least the Danes as culturally closer.

The “Galician” thesis does not appear to rest on Columbus’s own DNA, but on genetic inferences from descendants and genealogical reconstructions; that makes it compatible with the hypothesis, not conclusive proof. The fact that the study is reportedly a preprint not yet peer reviewed is crucial...

There are a few issues with this reasoning. First, geographic size alone does not determine diversity. Population history, migration patterns, linguistic fragmentation, political borders, and historical isolation matter much more. Italy, for example, is extremely diverse not simply because...

Modern folk pop. One for the North (Lombardy) and one for the South (Campania).

I agree that the sampling limitations, especially for southern Europe, make strong conclusions difficult. That said, the way I read the ancestry-specific PCA, the more apparent pull of the Tuscans relative to the Bergamo sample seems to be primarily along an east–west axis rather than a...

Pity ChatGPoliticalCorrect refuses to list possible ethnicities/geographical origins.

Facial description Face shape: Your face appears oval to slightly rectangular, with a fairly balanced proportion between forehead, cheekbones, and jaw. Forehead: The forehead is moderately broad and high, with a natural hairline and slightly wavy hair falling forward. Hair: Your hair looks...

That is the same phenomen occurring between some modern northern Italians and some modern Iberians isn't it?

As far as I know Italians (most of them originally from Veneto and Trentino) in Brasil were/are very much concentrated in certain areas of the country, so could it depend from where the sample is from?

Interesting, I'm quite familiar with the Nice area and I see a lot of Italian surnames around but I didn't think the percentage was so high. As you say a lot is also due to Medieval interactions, not coincidentally Monaco's ruling family were merchants (or rather pirates) from Genoa...

I would argue that Marseille is as Southern France as it gets with almost the same distance from the Italian and Spanish borders (closer to the Italian but not in a significant way), so almost in the middle. But let's not focus on details. If anything this goes to strenghthen emphasis on the...
