I found this Russian genetics chart while surfing the net.
Look at the West Asian and Near Eastern influence on the Central Italians. Now imagine how much of these genes South Italians have!
Check out how many non-European patrilineal ancestries there are in Italy.
Now that we have proved that Italians are not Romans genetically, let's compare the phenotypes of Romans and Italians:
The founder of the Roman republic has Germanic facial features and blue eyes.
Same with Augustus who is blond and blue eyed.
Sulla. No comment.
Now let's look at a typical Italian. If we print "average Italian" in Google, we will get this:
Modern Italians are brown skinned, dark eyed and have dark hair. So different from the Romans who they believe to be their ancestors. Take a look at an average Saudi male:
Oh my God, this guy is so similar to an average Italian that I could have actually confused them! But what about other Europeans? Below is an average French male.
This guy is clearly white and is more similar to the Romans than the Italians.
But what has happened to the Romans in their homeland, why have they disappeared?
Watch this video.
So basically modern Italians have nothing to do with the Romans, they are descendants of the slaves who were brought to Rome from Africa and Middle East. Northern Italians share some features with the Romans only due to their Celtic and Germanic roots. That's why Italians should stop claiming that they have created the modern civilization and stop being arrogant towards migrants and Northern Europeans.
