I choose the deer for it's mythological role in Ancient Celtic, Germanic, and Scythian societies (most Indo-European societies, I guess).

I would guess R1b-M269 is part of the EHG cline like it's cousin in Samara. The near eastern influence referred to by Haak of Yamna I suspect would be the Leyla-Tepe culture around 4000BC. Maykop seems to be highly influenced by Anatolian and Mesopotamian people. R1b-V88 in Africa is...

"Julius Caesar describes Gaul at the time of his conquests (58–51 BC) as divided into three parts, inhabited by the Aquitani in the southwest, the Gauls of the biggest central part, who in their own language were called Celtae, and the Belgae in the north." Wikipedia...

Dienekes has been advocating the J2 Indo-European connection for a long time. It wouldn't be a surprise if modern Armenia and Lake Sevan was the original PIE homeland. Hittites were believed to be a mountain folk. Could explain the full about face and movement back to Anatolia by the Celts (folk...

Fencing 35 Gold medals. Swimming 25 Gold medals. et.. If we are talking about the Olympics. They seem to be pretty good in the water as well. "Americans spend a lot of money for sports, despite of this they seems weak in olympics." Not true. American's are not subsidized by the government...

It's not really a fair statistic when the teams are limited in size, plus you have to look at a particular sport. If all individuals of a population competed, then your statistics would be correct (of course the results would be very different). It looks like Hungarians are very good fencers...

The same path does not equate the same exposure. PCB is one example of a current chemical known to feminize males. What about the million other chemical side effects not tested or hidden by greedy corporations? Genetics is a comparative field of study. There have been an adequate number of gay...

There is a current debate about PCB's (polychlorinated biphenyls) and it's feminizing/demasculinizing effects. I do believe the feminizing of the male brain is a piece of the puzzle. I'm not sure if it can be attributed to genetics or the environment. In the 50's PCB caulk was used to seal...

I usually see the first movie of the day (10:00 am showing - non IMAX and 3D ). It is in a state of the art AMC theater (personal large reclining seats). It cost me $6.50 USD. It jumps to $8.00 after the first showing. 3D movies are $13.25, and IMAX are $15.25. Nobody goes to the first morning...

I believe the UK and Bulgaria have the highest rate of Mensa IQ test scores. If I remember correctly it (IQ) was associated with the mtDNA and not with the fathers yDNA. The most common mtDNA in both countries is H. Ireland is dominated by mtDNA H and it's a leader in Mensa scores in the UK. It...

It's definitely cool to say you have a genetic connection to an area you lived all your life dating back 5300 years.

It all depends on the calorie source I guess. I saw an article on two Amazonian tribes men making a rare contact attempt with non-indigenous people (photograph), and I was surprised how chubby they were. I would of thought that life in the Amazon climbing trees and being outdoors without...

The study is interesting and all, but who are these 19 people? It would be nice to know what their family ancestry looked like and where they were from.

Land of the horseman from the word Ashvaka - Sanskrit ashva: horse ashvaka horseman -wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghan_(ethnonym)

I was re-watching Rome on Amazon Prime last night, and Brutus was talking to his mother. She commented on how dark he had became. He responded by saying how he felt like a soldier returning from battle. Later in the episode Octavia is shown being powdered for her marriage proposal to Pompey. I...

LeBrok - It reminds me of the Pashtun saying "Me and my brother against my cousin, me and my cousin against the world." I find most strangers disinterested in people they do not know. I'm an empathetic person, and routinely hold doors for strangers, smile, nodding, say good morning, afternoon...

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3978205/ I believe it is all or most of the paper. What I got out of it was that mtDNA H was brought to Iberia from the near east, and after a natural decline in population of the LBK, and with the spread of the Bell Beaker cultural package mtDNA H...

Underneath the article their is a link to Bronze Age chariots in photos. The wheels are solid, and not spoked (West Asian influence). I doubt these where war chariots, I bet they where funeral wagons caring the seven dead to the burial. It's similar to the burial in the Arras culture (Yorkshire...

Amerindians like most tribal people are fearlessly independent. The reservations in the US are a compromise to the American Indian Wars that raged until 1890. The US had a policy to eradicate Native Americans east of the Mississippi. Because of conflicts escalating in Oklahoma in 1851 the US...

"If you actual live by the rules of the far left you will have an empty meaningless life, because they don't believe in morality, they don't believe in family, they don't believe in ethics, and they tend towards utilitarianism and Marxism." Please quit stereotyping. It is like saying everybody...
