Can you help me understand how Mediterranean "color" is different from Libya to Morocco to Sicily to Turkey to Rome (I don't think it is?) Never mind that the climate is the same, but slaves, etc., were shipped all over the region.
If the Rus just showed up 5k years ago, where did they even come from? I'm being an a-hole, but everyone came from Africa, so the Rus/Slavs are just returning to their roots, right? But we still have differences between Rus, Slavs, Irish, and English, even though they're all "white."
I dislike reporters giving simple answers to questions that demand one thesis after another, I guess.

The "Rus" did not show up 5000 years ago. People from the Pontic Steppe around the Black Sea called the proto-Indoeuropeans spread to the west and even to India. The Rus are much, much later in history.
