I got Doggerland too: Latitude: 52.94445984199999, Longitude: 1.9909744139999965 This isn't too shocking - I have a lot of British Isles ancestry (including Glasgow, Campbeltown, and County Mayo), and some Low German ancestors via Pennsylvania. Here are my K36 results: Population...

That's right. As much as I want to imagine myself as a descendant of tree-hugging Mists of Avalon type Celts, I know that it is a gross simplification and even a distortion of reality. Celts were often as bloodthirsty as their neighbors, and also had slavery as major part of their society (cf...

Yes. It helps us understand how religions form and how seemingly mundane occurrences can be reinterpreted to fit someone else's world view.

No, the term cuneiform means "wedge shaped" and refers to the distinctive look of Sumerian, Babylonian, and Old Persian symbols that was a result of the writing tools that they preferred, regardless of whether they were writing with an alphabetic system or some other system. In a similar sense...

Article: http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/02/middleeast/saudi-arabia-executes-dozens-terror/index.html Saudi Arabia has just executed a Shi'ite cleric accused of terrorism by Saudi Arabia but hailed as a hero by Iran. Protesters in Iran have retaliated by setting fire to the Saudi embassy in Tehran...

Generally, you have to take a formally administered test and score above a specific level. The Mensa homepage has plenty of information on this, including what exams are accepted and what the minimum required score is for each. You only have to pass one exam.

R1b-DF27 is most common in Spain, Portugal, and southern France, and seems to have Basque and Celtic associations. All of these areas were also areas that were under Roman rule for quite a while, and that could provide a plausible explanation. Roman soldiers of Celtic or Basque origin could have...

He's not Haplogroup D. He's almost certainly I2, which is much more common in Europe. Outlier haplogroup or subclade results demand further investigation, more so than common ones. Yes, people did travel and some lineages did end up in odd places far from their cousins, but most people (by...

Good point. There are other R1b clades (e.g. R1b-L21, R1b-U106, etc.) found among Semitic peoples, especially European Jews, but these are largely from Celtic, Roman, and Germanic admixture, which is nearly inevitable if your people live in close contact with them. There are other likely...

I got 1%, which is so low that its utility is rather dubious. Finland/Northwest Russia 1% Here are my other regional estimates: Ireland 45% Europe West 27% Great Britain 20% Scandinavia 6% Asia South < 1% Everything else is 0%

Before I looked at your country, I was going to guess Greek or Arab. You do have a general "mixed" appearance. You could probably pass as Greek, Sicilian, Turkish, or Egyptian in some areas.

IMHO, you look fairly Italo-Celtic, and could be from Northern Italy, France, or maybe Scotland (though the dark hair leads me to suspect not). IME, people with a more Germanic or Slavic background tend to appear more angular, which you don't seem to be.

Interesting idea, but I'm not so sure it was an R1a vs. R1b battle. Let's look into the major players and their major haplogroups: Allies: USA: R1b, I1 UK: R1b, I1 France: R1b USSR: R1a, N (though Stalin himself was a G) Axis: Germany: R1b, R1a (both), I1, I2 Italy: R1b, J Japan: O

What sort of R1b subclades were found? Are they mostly the same ones found in other Balto-Slavic populations, or are there any unusual ones?

Usually, more than one line is needed to decipher a script. The most helpful thing we could find, imho, would be a bilingual inscription with a translation in some other, currently readable language, similar to the Rosetta Stone and the Behistun Inscription.

That's a good point. I have heard speculation that the apparent increase in autism may be partially fueled by marriages between highly literate people. Some research (citation within) indicates that a high intelligence can also mean high susceptibility to some mental health issues.

I can't roll my tongue, but don't have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, or any kind of muscular dystrophy for that matter. If you think you found something, you're going to need more data than three people.

How would you define "feminine behavior"? Most of the obvious things have obvious counterexamples in modern or ancient cultures.
