  1. There absolutely is, my ancestry test also distinguish led Basque form the rest. ​ @vengadorbacana

  2.  @juanv5375  Además, horrendo ejemplo cuando Unamuno era abiertamente anti-euskera. Como si no tuviera sesgo ideológico ni nada.

  3.  @anabegins7349  being genetically different doesn't make anyone better or worse but I know that my Basque ancestry was indeed shown apart in my ancestry test, separate from other Iberian groups.

  4.  @Meryawey  I have a question for ya before I give you the info. What ethnicity did the aboriginal peoples of the canary islands belong to before spaniards arrived?
    2
  5.  @Meryawey  Guanches are ethnically north African, you still need me to show you what the reaserch says about the average Canarian person's ancestry?
    2
  6.  @Meryawey  just to make sure we're on the same page, a large percentage of the matrilineal lines are Guanche and on top of that you gotta add the north African ancestry carried there by peninsulars. Are you still gonna argue that a canary islander being 40% is unheard of when about half (56%) of their matrilineal ancestry is Guanche on average? Add the few peninsulars who are 10-15% north African to that... Yes, a 40% north African canary islander is a thing for sure.

  7. The amount of spaniards triggered because many ancestry tests distinguish Basque from Spaniard is hilarious!! 😂😂😂😂 Mine did also and it's an American company.

  8.  @azborderlands  That's not most Spaniards. Canarians descend from another group of people who lived there.

  9.  @abelnodarse1841  the rock band? Honestly that's not a bad generalization, many do look like that (complexion wise)

  10.  @Silvestriano  yeah the Iberian peninsula actually changes less than one would expect, and genetically it does so more in a East-West direction rather than North-South. During the reconquista northerners expanded southwards creating this interesting genetic "stripes" and homogenizing the peninsula quite a bit. More than you can see in Italy for instance.

  11.  @celtibero9742  Galicia has a higher percentage than any other northern Spanish region.

  12.  @marcelodelgadotejerina  Pero dicho intercambio genético fue una minucia, ni por asomo una cantidad suficiente como para cambiar el aspecto de los locales.
    2
  13.  @marcelodelgadotejerina  Pues un Asturiano físicamente es clavado a otros peninsulares de esa latitud. Incluyendo a navarros por ejemplo.
    2
  14.  @marcelodelgadotejerina  Que manía de atribuir rasgos claros a pueblos no ibéricos. Las primeras poblaciones de homo. Sapiens de la península ibérica tenían ojos claros. Al llegar posteriormente otra población, principalmente de costumbre agrícola, con otros rasgos (piel más clara pero ojos muy oscuros) se mezclan y surge la base actual. Ni por germanos, ni celtas ni nada, simplemente esos rasgos ya estaban aquí. La diferencia principal entre los pueblos europeos actuales en la proporción de dicha mezcla, siendo mayor la contribución de estos granjeros y pastores en el mediterráneo.

  15.  @marcelodelgadotejerina  por entrar, entra hasta el sur de Francia en gran parte

  16.  @marcelodelgadotejerina  tengo razón pero no por eso, realmente no lo entiendes porq no quieres entenderlo.

  17.  @marcelodelgadotejerina Apenas hay diferencia entre las poblaciones ibéricas

  18.  @marcelodelgadotejerina  ni en la actualidad ni desde hace 5000 años como poco.

  19.  @miguelm.a7462  We now understand it didn't originate among Celts tho and that groups that were never celtic carry it.
    2
  20.  @miguelm.a7462  I'm aware of that, I also know that the genetic baseline of Iberian peoples was established before they arrived.

  21.  @DunaEider93  as if people who are 100% Iberian couldn't be green eyed and red headed.

  22.  @larrsan  Navarre is no more real Basque land than any other Basque land. F u.

  23.  @irdcs  eso es, dice "Basque is the cultural term" pero mal escrito.
    2
  24.  @irdcs  Orígenes en el norte de Nafarroa Garaia, Nafarroa Beherea (Baxenabarre) y Gipuzkoa concretamente bai. Ambos padres euskaldunes y soy de un pueblo con más del 88% euskaldun, casi 100% el año que nací yo, ha bajado bastante por migraciones internas.

  25.  @larrsan  por eso has dicho "my father" y no "my parents" verdad?
    2
  26.  @larrsan  sólo tienes sangre vasca por parte de padre y no pareces arreglarte ni medio bien en euskera, no me llegas ni a los tobillos. Me recuerdas al dicho sobre las palomas y el ajedrez...

  27.  @irdcs  es todo un cobarde y no tiene orgullo, prefiere taparse los oídos, cerrar los ojos y salir corriendo diciéndose a si mismo que todo es mentira. Como un crío preadolescente.

  28.  @irdcs  debe ser un ser humano horroroso. Infantil, intransigente y racista.

  29.  @irdcs  Infantil, intransigente y racista... Menudo elemento eh?

  30.  @mayafey7595  no necesariamente, no es raro ser español y solo tener ancestros europeos.

  31.  @LuckyNumber37  duh makes no sense after having written a text saying something else.
    1
  32.  @LuckyNumber37  which honesty it's still not correct because I can see it's only based on Haplogroups more than anything else, rather than the WHG, EEF etc proportions in their ancestry which picture a much different story.
    1
  33.  @LuckyNumber37  I know, but that's the only thing that those group have mostly in common.
    1
  34.  @LuckyNumber37  if you don't take Haplogroups into account then you're even more wrong.
    1
  35.  @LuckyNumber37  I mean that your comment about people from the British Isles being the closest after the Portuguese is incorrect.

  36.  @shailingkhongmalai9515  It's not like Iberians aren't western European.

  37.  @shailingkhongmalai9515  Honestly, British islanders look like lighter Iberians much more than they look like let's say Germans. Their structure is very Iberian like. In saying that, Iberians tend to have sharper faces, Germans more square and the brits and irish more rounded. But overall fair Iberians are indistinguishable from your average Brit. David De Gea, Dani Olmo, Asier Illaramendi or even Xabi Alonso don't stand out as particularly not British looking and they're not even that fair. You wouldn't bat an eye if they said they were of British stock. The opposite is true for darker brits. Plenty of darker Welsh or Irish people look like your average Iberian. So both populations fall within the same spectrum, often meeting in the middle. The difference relies in the proportion of darker and fairer people.

  38.  @shailingkhongmalai9515  Idk how many Spaniard you've met, but David Villa is most definitely darker than most Spaniards. Watch any video of Spanish fans celebrating Spain's victory over England and if you don't start cherry picking people who are darker you'll very soon see David Villa is darker than most. is the average Spaniard darker than the average Brit? Without a doubt just not in the extreme way you pointed out. Brits look like fair Spaniards as I stated, similar body and facial structures with on average lighter complexions. They do not however look like your average German. Europe doesn't simply change from fair to dark, people's faces change too. Most brits are more fair than most Spaniards but their faces look a lot more like Iberians than they do like Germans. People like Xabi Alonso and Asier illarramendi are quite common in Basque lands for instance. Brits look like Iberians who adapted to a northern climate rather than insular Germans.

  39.  @shailingkhongmalai9515  I'm sorry but not Saoirse, people like her are not very rare, not super common but I've met plenty with those features even in my Basque town of 2000 people

  40.  @shailingkhongmalai9515  what the heck my own father is like her.
    1
  41.  @shailingkhongmalai9515  Is that so? Because if you Google "European genetic map" it does not show that whatsoever. Germans seem further "away" than Iberians.
    1
  42.  @shailingkhongmalai9515  interesting data nonetheless, so europea changes genetically mostly in a northwest to southeast direction. This still defies the south vs north widespread notion most people have because europe changes a lot west to east but if what you're saying it's correct these genetic shift (not big regardless, all Europeans are closely related) is kinda tilted, diagonal if you will.
    1
  43.  @shailingkhongmalai9515  again, looks don't determine this as much as you think. Greeks are said to look like Spaniards but are not genetically as close.
    1
  44.  @shailingkhongmalai9515  so just as I said, northwest-southeast.
    1
  45.  @shailingkhongmalai9515  as I guessed rather
    1
  46.  @shailingkhongmalai9515  Haplogroups are still quite important.
    1
  47.  @shailingkhongmalai9515  which says what I said twice, that Europe changes genetically northwest to southeast, rather than just north to south. The study says that, not the Haplogroups which imply a West-East shift. So the study says northwest-southeast and Haplogroups say West-East. Neither implies a simple north-south divide.

  48.  @shailingkhongmalai9515  Armenians are literally the only exception to this rule btw, talk about cherry picking.
