>>17847940The truth /his/ has trouble swallowing:
The old time Nordicists were largely correct in their intuition. The ones that spoke of "Caucasoids", not the ones who were overly specific about blonde, blue-eyed Aryans, and northern white people.
They didn't have genetics or PCAs back then, but if you went back in time and showed them what we know now, they'd immediately gravitate to the concept of West Eurasian.
Ancient Greece? West Eurasian (not "Aryan", not Swedish)
Rome? West Eurasian
Jews, ancient and modern? West Eurasian
Ancient Egypt? More mixed but largely West Eurasian and less SSA genes than modern Egypt
People often don't like this train of thought because according to global PCAs, MENAs are largely West Eurasian, but the 3 major categories, WE, EA, and SSA are very effective at explaining worldwide racial differences.
