I know this is a long dead poll, but I felt a need to mention the Cantabrians. Their resistance towards the Romans seems like something that no modern historian could adequately summarize.

I'm not in a position intellectually to agree or disagree with any professional research, but I am always skeptical when such a decisive conclusion is reached. If I remember correctly, the "Ice Age Refugee" theory for the origin of R1b also received an overwhelming consensus among researchers...

It was some from research I had done several years ago, back when the Italo-Celtic theory actually had some ground among linguists. I checked the college research engines I used to spend my time on, but the article was nowhere to be found. I still think that there is not enough linguistic...

I misused the term "P-Celtic" to refer to the language spoken by the Gauls and Alpine Celts. I think that the P-Celtic spoken in Britain was largely derived from Q-Celtic, but I believe that the Gallic language (neither P or Q) also influenced the P-Celtic there due to a Belgic/Northern Gallic...

Right, I should have written "absorbed" instead of "replaced" given the various Afroasiatic influences on Semitic languages.

I know, I didn't say otherwise.

My idea is that J1c3 can be associated with the development of various Semitic languages as it is older and more widespread, I think J1c3 people were dispersed throughout the Middle East before large scale war became the norm. My guess is that the people associated with J1c3d made their own...

"Anatolian Bump" is just a word for a large inion. Koreans I know have these, but I think it is illogical to associate it with Turkic or Mongol ancestry, as they appear everywhere. I associate the occipital bun (which I lack) with higher aggression, mainly because all of my brothers and...

Nevermind, I just read about the Stelae folk, though I don't think it is quite enough of a trace to really prove anything. Perhaps this will make sense of the nonsense story about "Goidel Glas" and his offspring. I still think that the P-Celtic languages developed independently and moved...

Perhaps the "mediterranean" theory would explain the distribution of Q-Celtic. I've always thought of the Goidelic and Celtiberian languages as closer to "proto"-Indo European than the P-Celtic branch. What confuses me is how they could have travelled all the way from their homeland without...

Empires and countries collapse when they are not strong enough to hold onto core societal values in the face of adversity. A nation full of conviction will not flinch when people with "tribal" ideals begin to pour over the border. Instead, a country that is well established will be able to...

"It is therefore normal that migration countries like the USA, Canada, Australia or NZ should be more open to immigration from anywhere around the world than other countries. It is their way of admitting their past mistakes and share their conquest with the world." Unfortunately this sentiment...

edit: double post

Agreed, I think it will take many more years of research before anyone comes up with a reasonable explanation for the peopling of Europe. Until then I will continue to occupy my mind with unstable theories.

"G is found both among Ashkenazi and Sephardic that's makes me think that the first Hebrew were G this is matching with the Hurrian - cauacasus origin of the first Mesopotamian tribes." This is the leap in logic which I mentioned, also you do speak of the Ashkenazi in relation to first Hebrew...
