I can't believe what I'm reading LOL
You are not showing nothing based in population genes and the sources are extremely outdated. 2005? What the ****...?
I mean nothing in the sense that there are only a few samples in the Rosenberg et al study but, furthermore, the Caucasoid component looks like the 23andme ancestry painting, where almost all people of European descent comes out 100% European. So it's telling nothing, and Basques (from Iberia LOL) and Sardinians still get the highest Caucasoid.
This are the technical details of the Rosenberg study:
52 world populations, including three Italian samples, were typed for 993 autosomal polymorphisms and subjected to a clustering algorithm.
You should know that 993 autosomal markers = joke.
In year 2005 it was even believed that R1b originated in Europe and expanded after the last glacial age, while Dodecad's v3 analysis belong to year 2011 and it's really based in a large population dataset (more than a hundred populations/thousands of individuals used) and checks more than
150.000 autosomal markers. So stop with your nonsensical agenda about the MtDna L, which no way reaches 20% in Spain (nowhere) and in Portugal I think only a small village shows a significant % of this haplogroup (not representative at all of the main Portuguese people, basically the same as if you collect samples from the Azores or the Canary Islands). Check the Eupedia haplogroup table, which is by far the most accurate on the net, and you'll see you are the one who CAN'T continue with such an embarassing nonsense. The difference if you are able to understand my previous reply, is that I never thought there was significant SSA input in Italy, while you are still explaining fairy tales.
According to Eupedia (MtDNA other category):
The "Other" category includes mostly the older haplogroups N, R, pre-HV and HV, but also occasionally a few African (L) or Asian haplogroups (A, B, C, D, M, Z).
Italy: 15%
Portugal: 7%
Spain: 7%
L is not significant anywhere as noted above. However, let me remind that we are dealing with autosomal, not with haplogroups.
And by the way, I don't consider myself Spanish because my culuture is Catalan and most of my ancestors were Catalans. What I don't see is why are you so obsessed now in darkering Iberians if you have nothing to do with both Spanish and Portuguese. And posting doubtful sources, YOU should be the last one trying to teach something. Well, enough of this empty discussion, at least it was funny xd
Regarding the Rosenberg study, either way, with the amount of markers given, no matter how small, Italians show a consistent overlap with other Europeans and are 98% Caucasoid. I wonder why they didn't test Spanish or Portuguese people XD The results would have been funny.
You're incredibly stupid. But it's funny, so I'll keep on going:

Look at Spain/Portugal compared to Italy: These are Haplogroup L lineage frequencies.

Those are INCREDIBLY high for European populations
Onto Italy: as you can see L haplogroup frequencies are incredibly small and in certain regions, thus suggesting 98% of Italians don't carry an L mtDNA

Ancestry Informative Markers:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_admixture_in_Europe#Autosomal
A 2009 autosomal study by Moorjani et al. that used between 500K and 1.5 Million
SNPs estimated that the proportion of sub-Saharan African ancestry is 2.4% in
Spain, 1.9 % in
Greece and 1.5% in
Tuscany. According to the authors, this is consistent in the case of Spain, with the historically known movement of individuals of North African ancestry into Iberia, although it is possible that this estimate also reflects a wider range of mixture times.
[36] According to the authors, application of f4 Ancestry Estimation, a method which produces accurate estimates of ancestry proportions, even in the absence of data from the true ancestral populations,
[38] suggests that the "highest proportion of African ancestry in Europe is in Iberia (Portugal 3.2±0.3% and Spain 2.4±0.3%)
As you can see, the Iberian penninsula is the most spoiled by SSA admixture as a consequence of Moorish Invasion and the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.
