Laplanders? I’ve heard that term.

I’m not drawing any line; merely using what is accepted by the world’s scientific community, until there’s better data/charts - yours is not one of them - to disprove it, and establish a new set of classifications.

No, I didn’t notice. What are you referring to?

If you find the spot along the horizontal axis where there are ONLY five lines you will find that if you want to separate genetically distinct human population groups into five “bins” the categories would NOT be the five you mentioned.

The five - based upon actual DNA difference - would be...

African

Europeans, Indians, Iranians, Arabs, etc

Asian/Amerindian/Eskimo

Pacific Islanders

New Guinean/Australian

But why draw the line so that you have created five “bins”? Especially when the bins that were arbitrarily filled do not represent reality? I mean - couldn't they at least be accurate “bins”? If you feel the need to separate humanity into five and only five groups.
