I wanted to raise this question. Because all the people when refer to european they mean all the people from Purtugal to Moscow Russia which I think need modification after some recent archealogical and genetic findings in Eastern Europe especially in Russia.
Genetics has shown that most of east european men (from poland upto russia) carry R1a1-M17 haplogroup at very high rate(upto 50% on average). The same gene R1a1-M17 is also found in the men of the Eastern Afghanistan and Pakistan equally at the same rate( 50%on average).
On the otherside the archaelogical finding in Russia and Ukrain exhibit the war like culuter (horse culture) which is even today prevalent especially in Afghanistan.
I think the Eastern european MAN is a recent arriver (may be few thousand years ago) than the western European MAN.
I think this may explain why Russians think entirely different from Britishers or Americans since they have nothing in common.
What is your point of view.
