Polish looks? [1410]
Hi Tomasz ^_^. People tell me the same thing too, but that's because I am half Greek and half Polish. You can probably find my picture if you click a few pages back on this thread. Anyway, I people call me this since I have light brown eyes and black hair along with pale olive skin (which would be a true olive if I was 100% Mediterranean). Either way, none of the ethnicity you noted are really Mediterranean but more or less related to their own genomes such as the Hungarians or Romanians whom are descendants from the Magyars, the Bulgarians who are southern Slavs, the Ukrainians, Tatars who are Slavic tribes. In fact the Tatars are the main Slavic tribe for poles. So I would say that you are indeed polish if you test positive for Tatar haploids. The theory people tell you I would say is false. I would say climate, melatonin, or personal/parental genetics play a factor. Any mixing with Poles (which is very little believe it or not) has been purely Caucasoid. Many genetic tests have proven that Poland is more homogeneous than one things. Truth is, through history many places like Galicia and Silesia have been occupied purely for military and conquer-ship empire reasons. Most foreign populations that moved there soon migrated out when their land was lost and Polish people have migrated to these places in mass. Especially for Silesia where all the Germans were driven out by the Marshall Plan and Soviet Forces and resulted in millions of Poles from Warsaw migrating to this area. As for Galicia, it has it's name from a mere short-lived Napoleonic conquering. Galicia is Greek and Italian for France.
Anyway, you might have Mediterranean blood in you. Again the ethnic groups you mentioned aren't really Mediterranean. What would be is: Italian, Greek, Macedonian, Turks/Anatolian, Southern French, Spaniards, etc.
