Swiss R-L21*

[rms2]

Showalter is on board now and awaiting the result of an L21 test (probably due in July).

[alan trowel hands.]

The Swiss guys have got me thinking, are there many Italians who are still in the S116 but not S116* category due to not having tested for L21?  I still would expect that the not insignificant amount of L21 in SW Germany, SE France and Switzerland should mean a significant amount was brought to italy by either the Celtic or Germanic movements that linked the two areas.

There are a lot of Italians who are just un-SNP-tested period.

By the way, Meier (the other Swiss guy we were discussing) joined today and is now awaiting L21 test results.

I wonder if these 4200 year old pants were Italian Leather?
I suppose with all the holes(like their cheese) they'd look more like Swiss?
