Ancdote alert. When i was born and my relatives came to see, I wasn’t rolled out to the glass window.
My aunt noticed and said. “He’s not one of us, that kid is Italian”.
Turned out that sh knew because of a lablelling mishap. I told an Italian friend this story recently and added, I could have been raised a Sergi, He replied, no way, you are taller than five feet.

I’m not sure this has been mentioned before but it is actually quite factual. Short people with thick necks, in men. Short petite females that later become thickset.

What’s a Sergi?

Anyway, there is a very similar article in the latest New Scientist, hence my “how long have we been here” question.
