The closer a population is to Danes in genetic makeup, the happier they are argues this new paper. This could explain why Germanic peoples from North Europe (Canada, Australia, US as well as Scandinavians and Dutch) are among the happiest in the world.
Of course it could be that Germanic genetics encourage cooperation, thrift and order and it just might turn out that being rich, having friends and feeling safe can make make anyone happier. Or it could be a bloody coincidence.
Correlation does not prove causation.
