“Throughout the recent past, there have been movements from the Middle East into southern Europe, and the Middle East population retains a great mix and diversity,” he says.
you know what this means. “ok folks we have to keep letting them in. Don’t want black death, you see?”
ok I misspoke! less genetic diversity didn’t result in the black death but it could lead to other problems
it’s true ,look at Dodi and Princess Diana
Especially when you consider thats its likely any island population will at large be less diversified than a much larger free ranging population. I’m certain that Japan, Iceland, Greenland, Nova Scotia, Australia and nearly every island dwelling populace will show similar trends.
Don’t forget the Normans creating the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. They brought lots of Scandinavian and French blood to Sicily.
