left axis: caucasoidness
was it really that hard to understand my sweet retarded kid?
also let's go over with your retarded conversion bullshit
turks and greeks from the same city >>3374520
turk: 22% mongoloid
greek average: 3% mongoloid
greek: 50%+ caucasian because pontic greeks are actually caucasian
turk: 30% caucasian
the difference is greater than 50% aka enough to debunk your retarded hypothesis.

>>3374563
I'm not that OP, I am a different person thatwas just asking a question about the picture.

That explanation doesn't make sense. For one thing, there are only two axis. They also go from negative numbers to numbers below one.

They were impious to a fault. Worshipping in the estern orthodox faith is more insulting than the roman catholic to God because it demands that kings decide who is the head of the coutnry's state church and liteurgy, When God and his priests are meant to be independent of the Kings approval, but not above the law.

yes we did descend from Turkmens. However, they were not "asiatic". They were somewhere between 30% 40% mongoloid and rest was mostly Iranic.
