Of course, but it seems this whole thing started with
YOU posting alleged connections between spaniards/portuguese and african lineages. Please, read a bit more about genetics before posting material you do not grasp (and neither do I to some extent). Lineages like L are african in origin, as are ALL lineages in origin. And about the diversity between populations, it's just a matter of logic and comparison of genetic data. For example, let's compare Central Portugal with Athens and Ireland.
Simply put, Western Europe as a whole is more similar in genetic makeup than the East/West cline, but I guess scientists knew that all along....
