The Genetic Map of Europe - NYTimes.com

Biologists have constructed a genetic map of Europe showing the degree of relatedness between its various populations. The most unexpected element of the study, at least to me, is that there is no genetic overlap between Swedes and Norwegians, although both overlap with Danes.

The most interesting element is that the Finns are completely unrelated to the rest of Europe's population!
