Please guys, this thread is abaout Catalonia. 15.000 (I'm generous ok) people demostrations against 1.5 million, 1.6 million, and 1.8 million people demostrations, is like comparing apples and oranges. This is not serious.

This is not something teachers teach at school, so it is pointless. We Catalans have to pay Francisco Franco's foundation, something that would be forbidden in any other European country. As for the rest, same parrot talk over and over. Posting figures about the debt in Catalonia ignoring the...

It is funny how he keeps insisting on the idea that Catalonia is very corrupt, probably trying to tell us that this is an argument to prove independence as something bad. Like if in any other country in the world there's no corruption, not to say his beloved Spain. Well guys, you only have to...

To call people in favor of independence Catalibans or nazis it is not an opinion, my friend. In fact, it is an infraction. Case closed.

Carlos tendentiously ignores the fact that there's always more than 30% of the Catalan population who NEVER votes. The total number of votes PSC, PP, C's, PxC, UPyD accounts for approximately 1.3 million. So I highly doubt his pro-Spanish friends can win referendum. No need to say that not all...

1- The guy did not vote 3 times. Two of his friends gave their ID paper in 2 more places and, after that (in front of the supervisor and the other guys), it was him the one who put the ballot inside for them. Very easy to understand, even for you: 3 separate votes by 3 different people, no...

@ Melancon The modern aragonese language depending on the region is more similar to Catalan or Castilian. But it is still considered a different language. You can translate this yourself: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idioma_aragon%C3%A9s At the end of the day, all latin languages are dialects...

Just a few remarks: - It is incorrect to say that Catalans are an Aragonese people. What was called "The Crown Of Aragón" included different entities, for instance, the Kingdom of Aragón and the Principate of Catalonia among others. All those territories were in fact independent states with...

From a Catalan perspective, Scots do not have much reasons to complain about the UK. They are accepted as what they are (a nation), and they can vote in agreement with the state. Don't know if being part of the UK is a good business or not for them, but the previous points are very important: it...

The SNP I mentioned for green eyes it's not the only one. You should bear the specific mutations in many others to have green eyes. It was just an example. You can find discussions in 23andme about this topic. By the way, it would be interesting to see V2's, V8's and T2G2's pigmentation...

Not exactly. Real green eyes fall clearly into the light eyes category, sharing the main GG mutations with blue eyes at SNP rs12913832. And then, there are other genes which help on determining if it's green or blue: for instance, GG at SNP rs12896399 implies slightly lower odds of having blue...

What a waste of time. Reading comprehension below zero (added to other evident problems).

There you are the explanation for this "similarity", although I know it is useless to make you understand: http://eurogenes.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/pca-projection-bias-in-ancient-dna.html To summarize, what the original study you're referring to was pointing out, was simply a Southern...

I think I know what happened. Spanish_North includes Basques and Northern Spaniards. Dienekes' separated the real Basque individuals from the rest, calling this group País_Vasco. Seems like Lazaridis (aka Dienekes') forgot to change the nomenclature he was using in the Dodecad Project...LOL!

I don't think the averages fit for Basque-like people. País Vasco possess 5% more ANE than "Basques", when everyone who's being following amateur projects knows that both samples are almost identical. So everything should be taken with caution while creating the averages. Mine (Catalonia)...

I don't see anything revolutionary. They aim was to find the definite genetic signature of the so called farmers and they failed not testing the most important thing: Y-DNA. It doesn't surprise me at all to see MtDNA K, but don't forget that according to another research in Greece this...

Ok, thanks. At least this SNP works for me, since the one listed by 23andme definitely doesn't. It maybe be possible to have blond hair by just having the appropiate genotypes on other SNPs though.

Figure 2 says: (a) A 17.1-kb region bounded by SNPs rs444647 and rs661114 defines the candidate interval for blondness2. Within this region, a large block of mammalian sequence conservation (blue peaks) overlaps peak marker rs12821256. The rest is behind the paywall. I...

Clusters such as Basque or Sardinian aren't a good choice to get accurate results. But seems like K8 was quite similar to La Braña at least (assuming there's no contamination), an individual found to be more "Mediterranean" than expected in many calculators/experiments. The new results...
