@hbdchick They look very Tuscan to me - maybe due to stylisation?

@christopherburd etruscan, tuscan. you say po-tay-to and i say po-tah-to.... (~_^) -
@hbdchick Sorry, I meant to say they DONT look very Tuscan to me. Kinda Central Asian-y, or something. -
@hbdchick But I assume their genes are 90%+ identical to modern Tuscans, not that I pretend to know anything abouy genetics. -
@christopherburd etruscan genes (mtDNA) - & the genes of their cows! - look like they're from the near east (turkey?) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etruscan_origins#Genetic_evidence …
