Isn't H1 the most common type of H in Europe? Why do you call it rare? Is that a particular subclade?

I am surprised that this hasn't been asked before. To calculate it measure your head width, multiply by 100 and divide by your head length. It's really not easy to measure accurately so ask someone to help you. Use calipers if necessary. The best way is to measure directly from a brain scan or...

Austrians long ago might have been Germans but now they are more Slavic than German.

Mr Courvoisier, ) Before you star admonishing other members on the quality of their contributions you may want to work on your English because I am having a hard time understanding your sentences. You should install a spell checker on your browser. It will eliminate words that don't exist in...

And is there many Italians who feel more Italian than Tuscan, Venetian, Sicilian or Sardinian nowadays ? Italians are the people who live in the Italian peninsula (+ islands). Not many Southerners have ever felt like they were alike to Northerners, or vice versa, today or 2000 years ago.

Very funny. But let's not get carried away with sophist logic. There are plenty of non-R1b countries that have terrorists. You just picked two that came from R1b countries. You could have used the same flawed logic with just about anything. I checked if the correlation between R1b and GDP per...

I know how this kind of topic can be controversial and I want to insist that I only intend it as an interesting observation, with no hidden agenda. I couldn't help noticing that within a same country (it doesn't work in comparisons between country with different histories, cultures and systems)...

Are you saying that Sardinians are Germanic people ? They have the darkest hair in Europe, darker even than North Africa. Not an ounce of Germanicity.

Who makes the programmes ? Who funds the BBC ? The answer to both is British people. The BBC has turned into an global media organisation idolised in countries that do not have quality media of their own, like Africa, the Middle East, most of Asia and South America (just check the list of...

Wow, where do you live ? I don't see too many people acting like animals or robots round here. I have to say that the people I know are pretty cordial, social and well-behaved. A century and a half ago there were beggars, thieves, dirty brats, drunkards and all sorts of uncouth and unseemly...

Stop thinking of a grand conspiracy or government propaganda. The BBC just reflects the national British psyche, with all its cultural bias and imperfections. Few Britons have heard of the Patriach of Constantinople at all. That name doesn't have the same potency as the Pope in Rome, because...

Dienekes released yesterday a DYI version of the Dodecad Admixtures. It's useful for people who couldn't join the Dodecad Project due to the numerous limitations or were worried about the privacy of their data. I tried and it works well...

I have to thank Maciamo for his support here. His argumentation makes a lot of sense. Bringing up sickle cell anemia and thalassemia add strength to the theory. I for one never thought that belonging to haplogroup E makes a person more lazy or corrupt, but the correlation between poor economic...

Good map ! Namibia and Botswana have much less haplogroup E and they are the two least corrupted African countries. Isn't that just amazing ! Botswana (index 5.8) is less corrupted than Poland, Hungary or the Czech Republic. Namibia (4.4) is a bit more corrupted but less than Slovakia, Croatia...

The two richest countries in Europe are mountain countries, Norway and Switzerland. Britain and Ireland are hilly. Austria, France, Italy and Spain have quite a lot of mountains too. Ukraine, Belarus and Poland are poor and flat. There is no correlation at all ! You confuse corruption and...
