I think people here are fighting over the wrong things: it should be who's the most mongoloid not the most negroid because the former is the main non-Caucasoid ancestry that all Europeans carry.

That is correct actually.

Doggerland? Yeah, my ancients hail from Doggerland too (seriously). Doesn't exist anymore, does it? LOL!

Erm Alice? What are you talking about? Isn't about time you grow up with these weird and childrish insults of yours?

They also fail to provide any contradictory sources, that may aid their arguments.

Italians are indeed part Black, and this can be witnessed in their phenotype.

Saying "Not True", won't change the facts.
The study is Peer-Reviewed, which means it's true.

As a Portuguese you should not make such a joke because your country is the one that suffers the most with trolls trying to place you amongst Mulattos.

For populations it's probably the best way to do it. Autosomals don't really mean much for population studies except in cases you are certain of their origin AND certain there's no selection on them. Which is usually not the case whatsoever.

For individual you are looking for ancestry so autosomals are needed for that, but highly conjectural. For countries it's the opposite. You already know the supposed ancestry, you just want to see how it relates to other populations on a broad basis. Autosomals for populations is like using microscope to look at the stars.
