About ¼ of Mormons have Scandinavian surnames, principally Danish and Norwegian, and I think the low hanging cluster of dots on the bottom of CEU represents individuals of majority Scandinavian descent that I know to exist in the dataset.

Scandinavians are under strong selective pressure to keep schizophrenia low, but their high consumption of fish both reduces the power of that pressure and redirects it away from acting directly upon schiz causing alleles and instead improving omega-3 metabolism instead.

The population that has probably been under the most ruthless selection again schiz per se are the Finns, who along with their Estonian cousins have the highest PISA scores in Europe. Pfiffer also calculated them as having highest the Edu Attainment PGS of any Europeans.

Selection against nuttiness may also help to explain the distinctive Nordic personality: in other words, why they’re so boring. The positives to being sane are obvious; the downsides are that you find yourself living in a country where people stare at a burning log on Christmas.

I started to suspect was up with you when I saw the awesome barrage of high quality links. It reminded me a lot of me, an autistic dude of Norwegian descent.
