you should simply ignore pol, it's just that easy
go there and make your idea out of it yourself

>>2944577
Maybe a linguistic significance if you focus on Arabic and Latin.

>Does the term 'Mediterranean' have any linguistic or genetic value whatsoever?

NO.

>>2944577
Genetic value, yes.

Early farmers from the Levant/Anatolia spread across the mediterranean and much of Western Europe in the late neolithic and the people of the region are still largely descended from them. It's obviously more complicated than that but the basic facts are not at all in doubt at this point.

>>2944577
It has linguistic value in that it differentiates between the Mediterranean master race and the uneducated Nordcucks who think that Brown haired brown eyed mediterraneans aren't white or european

It's a bunch of people in the Old World that had commercial and other relationships for millennia

>when a swarthy spaniard has nothing in common with an equally swarthy Arab.

Arabs from Arabia aren't Mediterranean. You have Mediterranean countries such as Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt which were Arabized and yes, Spain does have things in common with those nations.

>>2944577
Yes:

"Looking at the very different worlds of middle Europe, the western Mediterranean, the Aegean and the Levant in the first centuries of the first millennium BC, the clearest distinction is not that between east and west, but between the countries to the north and the south of the Alps in this period. Wherever one looks in the Mediterranean world around 800 BC, whether it be Phoenicia, Cyprus, mainland Greece, Sardinia or northern Italy, the signs of economic and political lift-off are there. All of these very different societies were undergoing mass population growth, rapid technological development, and the beginnings of advanced state-formation. North of the Alps, in middle Europe and beyond, there is no sign of anything of the kind. For whatever reason, the Urnfield societies of temperate Europe did not experience the same kind of lift-off as their neighbours to the south. This claim is not the result of cultural prejudice on the part of two authors trained in Greek and Roman history; it is accepted also by archaeologists specializing in middle Europe. The Mediterranean lift-off is not easy to explain."

There are considerable similarities between the Med countries, in diet (olive oil and wine, at least before Pisslam), in genes (predominance of neolithic Anatolian farmer genes), and in culture (similarities in music, traditional dress, early adoption of coinage, and a focus on trade-based economies). The Med is a sea, but it's enclosed nature makes it more like a huge salty lake, well-suited to shipping and more of a "bridge" than a "barrier".

it's true. You would be amazed at the amount of people that think brown hair+brown eyes=automatically not white, regardless of ACTUAL SKIN COLOR
