Genetic Component to European Ethnic Groups

[Flannel Boy]

According to a new study, Europeans are not genetically homogeneous. They show population substructure, meaning genetic information can be used to predict geographical ancestry. The study was done on 2,514 individuals from 23 countries using 300,000 genetic markers.

Here are the individual samples plotted:


Here is a rough genetic map of Europe:

Finland: Genetically Different

Finland: Genetically Different

They are freaks, but they aren't that different. The researchers use small differences in genes to create these clusters.

I understand Finnish is totally different from other Scandinavian languages - good reason to ostracize them.

While Finland has copped difficulties from both directions in the past, it doesn't change the fact they have crazy moon language.

Sterilize Finland has always been my motto.

A good amount of awesome Formula one Drivers come from Finland.

Other than that, i don't have any idea what that country is about.

In a nutshell, Finland forms the testicles, while Sweden and Norway form the penis.  Like so:

Double headed cock? No way, dude. Finland is the flacid dick, while Sweden and Norway are the testicles sitting in a hyper-extended scrotum.

[Bildi]

I always thought of it as a penis with a rather large opening (out of which Denmark would be emerging).  Coming from my interpretation, your hyper-extended scrotum interpretation is definitely refreshing.
