Right now the refugees are used as weapon to force the West into direct conflict with Russia.

Hia name is spelled Barzani not Bashrani. Turkey, Iran, Iraq, threatned to attack if they do the referendum he gone the way. Do you think he risked this all just for negotiations? He gives the Iraqi central government a chance to give an alternative (as I said a Schottland type model) but he...

It seems you didn't get my post. The central government uses the Barcelona case to bring up fear in some voters. All I say is they would never force Barcelona out of the league, if they did so they would lose allot of money. Also I already stated 2-3 times in this thread that I am for a free...

Do you really believe Catalan teams would be thrown out of La Liga by case of segregation. I mean La Liga (the State) makes around half a billion just from the El Classico. La Liga without Barcelona would lose 30-40% of it's viewers and sponsors. It would hurt both sides and I am pretty sure...

Would be nice if you did the same with Kurds. Back to topic I gave my support for a Catalan country already in the past. If that isn't possible at least a British Wales-England relationship should be given.

This thread is from 2011 holy cow since than almsot 6 years are gone. And I have far more information today then the time when I made this thread. You can link some features to DNA but pigmentation isn't a major one of them. Yet today you can tell by aDNA even pigmentation. It doesn't mean that...

Drawing recently discovered near Khomein show a person riding a horse with archery. Based on Dutch archeologists the drawings are 40,000 years old. If this turns out to be true then this would be oldest evidence of horse domestication. Horse Archery 40000 years ago amazing...

Bell Beaker is a local farmng culture and it's origin predates the supposed Steppe migration. The massacres were made by the Schönfelder culture. Schönfelder and Bernburg are non Bell Beaker local farming cultures too.

This is about LBK people and has nothing to do with CWC massacers. The major difference here however in comparison to Americas is, that the archeologists say there is no evidence of any violance from the CWC towards the local farmer groups however there is evidence of violance from the farmer...

As I wrote obviously the Steppe herders expanded into areas which were sparsely populated and not so much suited for cereal farming. The reason why both CWC and Sintashta had EEF is because they both derive from a common group of herders which moved into a region populated by some neolithic...

The thing however is, there is absolutely no sign of violance from CWC or any other "Steppe invaders" towards the local Neolithic groups. There are however allot of evidences of violance and oppression from local groups to the newcomers. That is actually very different from the case of Americas...

Here is some comments I catched up which actually makes the picture more clear. CWC look more like a immigrant group that had to suffer from racism of the local groups which didn't like the idea of a new people settling on their land and "exploiting their resources". What appears to me here is...

At 6:48 Prof. Kristiansen mentions the killing of Corded Ware families in East Germany by the local farmers. I mentioned this a few times in the past. There was a guy on Eurogenes comment section who actually did say that there are archeological mass graves of Corded Ware groups who were...

Like how children of parents of two different ethnicities can look almost completely like one of their both parents or in many cases like only one of their 4 grandparents. You can and are 100% definitely a mix of the "4" ancestral components that dominate in your ethnicity but can look almost...

That map is indeed slightly obsolete. The Near Eastern admixture in Europe is even significantly higher. The reason for that is because the map predates Anatolian_Neo samples and allot of the "WHG" is actually Anatolian_Neo derived. And allot of the "ENF" and "ANE" is actually CHG/Iran_Neo...

I remember there was a whole table of ethnic groups compared with Yamnaya based on fst distance. It was in one of those studies, if we find it, it could be usefull it doesn't tell you how much Yamnaya contributed to an ethnic group (that is impossible to say for 100% anyways) but it tells how...

I disagree, imo it makes more sense that Basques got their ~80+ of R1b from 25% of their ancestry than just 0-5% of it. So much founder effect is just ridiculous. Not even in India is the aDNA of the R1a bearers so low.

Using a Eurogenes calculator to make a map of Yamnaya admixture is a little naiv. Look at the Yamnaya numbers of Haak et al. and than compare it to the map and where "Yamnaya ancestry " peaks. Is it the Baltics? coincidence? isn't the author also from the Baltics? :smile: There is no high...

Correct 4,000-year old chariot burial from Georgia http://dienekes.blogspot.de/2014/06/4000-year-old-chariot-burial-from.html It was basically a four wheeled "chariot" or wagon used for war. And looked quite similar to the later two wheeled chariots just not with two spoked wheels. Therefore...

Now I am not going to take any sides here but Goga is in one point right. Iranic as well Hittite elements have been identified among Kassites, the Lullubi and Zubaru. I had red few recently published studies about these and they mentioned it. Now it could be false alarm but we can't rule it...
