"...he (Alexander) inflicted punishment on the Persians for their outrages on all the Greeks, and how he delivered us all from the greatest evils by enslaving the barbarians and depriving them of the resources they used for the destruction of the Greeks, pitting now the Athenians and now the Thebans against the ancestors of these Spartans, how in a word he made Asia subject to Greece."

Polybius, Book IX, 34, 3

Before trying to argue using quotes and sources you don't understand the context of why don't you try to educate yourself on Ancient Greek history!

Let's keep this simple!

ALL GREEKS FOUGHT EACH OTHER FOR SUPREMACY OR HEGEMONY OVER ALL THE OTHER GREEKS! Sorry for all the caps but it is the only way I feel the point can be made.

So does that make the Athenians or the Spartans non-Greek, after all the fought each other for many years.

Understand the history before trying to use it to formulate an argument!

THE ARNAIZ-VILLENA CONTROVERY EXPLAINED FOR NON-GENETICISTS

When one studies genetics at a population level, one should not use one gene as a comparator. By doing so, they are using biased methods that will lead to misleading results. By chance, one gene may be similar between two totally different populations – simply BY CHANCE. One has to analyze MANY genes in order to link populations.



What did Arnaiz-Villena and his Skopjean partners do?



Well one way to simplify their analysis is the following: If we imagine that populations are animals, and if we analyze how similar they are one from another, we can understand how flawed Arnaiz-Villena’s analysis really is. Let’s say that FYROMians are tigers, Greeks are elephants, Ethiopians are dolphins, and other Europeans are various four legged land mammals. According to Arnaiz-Villena and his colleagues:



But elephants are like dolphins…



You can see how ridiculous this logic is. In reality, elephants are closer to other land mammals because they live on land, have four legs, and don’t have a blowhole. But if one were to only look at the colour gray, then he/she can make the assumption that elephants are closer to dolphins!
