I was reading a discussion in a renowned anthrogenetics forum and this image came up, it made me think really hard for 5 minutes straight, what do you guys make of it?

so basques are the only true europeans?

>>17867918
kinda, since they are the closest thing to "native" europeans aka epigravettians/gravettians

>>17867900 (OP)
>>17867918
>>17868073
Early European Cattle Herders, aka, Epigravettians whom moved west in need of more pastures.
Osirians/Aesir.

Wait till you learn PCAs have more than two dimensions and the corner looks different at other angles.

>>17867900 (OP)
You could arbitrarily set these clines to a million different reference populations, this graph assumes EEF as the core group you are comparing against

>>17868154
oh really? could you "set" one like in the OP image where sicilians take the place of basques?

>>17868229
Sure, why not?

>>17868233
do it

>>17868250
For what reason?

>>17868229
The most common global PCAs that include archaic populations have Western Hunter Gatherers in the extreme West Eurasian corner, not Basques.

>>17868252
you cant kek

>>17867900 (OP)
this is a meme amateur pca from a blog
crazy how the absolute shittest thing always make the rounds on 4chan, you could have posted the thousands of legit pcas from studies

>>17868428

>>17867900 (OP)
Why do Jews and southern Italians overlap so much?

>>17867900 (OP)
This is a an old k12b pca from eurogenes

>>17869065
so what

Only Poltards are so Nordicist and autistic that they only consider a small part of white Europeans, while other ethnic nationalists consider very different people like Khoisan, Pygmies, Bantu and East Africans to be the same race.

>>17867900 (OP)
gotta draw an arrow showing the aurignacian/european cline

>>17867900 (OP)
There is also the Medditerranean to Baltic cline and the Arabia to Caucasus cline. If people like Scythians/Sarmatians stille existed, they would likely bridge the gap between Caucasus, Urals and Eastern Europe
