    Spring-Loaded Heels Gave Extra Step to Homo Sapiens(as opposed to Neandertals)

    Spring-Loaded Heels Gave Extra Step to Early Homo Sapiens Perhaps this is why modern African atheletes dominate most Marathon length running events. Since they do not have any Neandertal DNA and modern European and Asians do?

    I wonder if the amount of Sub-Saharan DNA found in Portugal is a remnant from Portugal's long history of exploration and colonies in Africa? Or exchange of African DNA from Brazil?

    Mediterraneans want to be liked, Northern Europeans prefer not to be disliked

I like doing a good complete job, I like giving my customers the best service I can, I like making sure I always do the right thing and I try not to be confrontational but I don't hedge my opinion when asked...

    Characteristics of Haplogroups??

    There might be some physical characteristics that are defined by certain Y groups, things like male fertility or maybe a tendancy to produce more male offspring than female offspring.

    Characteristics of Haplogroups??

    Our general charateristics are determined by our autosomal DNA and not our mtDNA or Y DNA haplogroup. Two individuals can have identical mtDNA and Y DNA markings and look completely different as far as eye, hair and skin color, along with other physical attributes.

    The Normans

    Yorkie is quite right about the invaders and later land lords of the Saxon's being a mixed bag of scoundrels from the continent. The main thing they had in common was that they were French speaking and in league with the Bastard to take over control of a wealthy and prosperous kingdom.

    Black Sea deluge theory & the Indo-European homeland

    I had always thought that the rising sea level in the Mediterranean Sea broke through the Bosporus and flooded back into the Black Sea. Before 5500 B.C. the Black Sea was a fresh water lake. They have been able to date the age of the "Great Flood" by dating the age of fresh water mussels found...

    Who were Scythians?

    There might have been some Turkic or Mongolian admixture with the tribes traditionally considered to be Scythians.

    New Fossil Findings suggest, Asian Neanderthals, Humans Mated

    It is very interesting and although the genetic evidence points to an out of Africa scenario for the population of Asia, these Neaderthals or Neanderthal analogs might have developed from the Asian strain of Homo Erectus. This strain could have been instrumental in some of the specific...
