"Itâs not a physical trait, but we have a lactose intolerance report and that draws a similar line where the genetics that make you less likely to be lactose intolerant â that you can digest dairy â [are] much more commonly found in Northern Europeans," Lehman says. Here are a few behavioral and physical traits associated with certain parts of the world, according to 23andMe. But, don’t worry, most probably your friend will offer you a pair of slippers. The Swiss (German: die Schweizer, French: les Suisses, Italian: gli Svizzeri, Romansh: ils Svizzers) are the citizens of Switzerland[b] or people of Swiss ancestry.
