Non-French admixed Corsicans are basically a mixture of Ligurian and Tuscan, so unless any of those two score higher West Med than the Sardinian I would say it is unlikely.

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 The fact that the study is reportedly a preprint not yet peer reviewed is crucial...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).
