Also H, which is now extremely rare and doesn't seem to have done well in Europe following the Paleolithic, being as the majority of men in Europe with it belong to the Indian/South Asian branch, probably because of the Gypsies.

This is a huge problem. These calculators make it look like "Early European Farmer" or "Neolithic Farmer" or whatever label they come up with is a consistent admixture. It isn't. It is an unstable mixture of Basal Eurasians with some WHG-related population from West Asia, and then possibly CHGs...

The Bedouin definitely have more than their share of pretty faces. That lady looks almost Gypsy to me. In any case, I wouldn't say those noses (PPNB) are either extreme (upturned or aquiline). They look kinda moderate, and I would even say they'd fit pretty much anywhere in Europe, with a few...

I skimmed this preprint a couple months ago and I'm not sure I'm convinced. I don't think their findings are enough to warrant overturning our current understanding of admixture in the region. The Gulf has significantly more ANE admixture than Yemen. I bet the Basal Eurasian ancestry in...

I've seen theories about the Picts being some super-distinct group of Europeans, with some possible pre-Indo-European links. Why does that never show up genetically? Scots are pretty comfortably Northern European, across their ethnic territory. In any case the highlanders most certainly are the...

Great, so you're now taking up for the Saud family. Lovely people, I'm sure. I'm not arguing for the further seizure of Palestinian land. I'm arguing that Israel simply has a right to exist, and that the injustices committed during its foundation should not be used to vilify the modern...

Same guy. The first Cro-Magnon from the Daily Mail looks like a modern European, just especially rugged. The second, from I don't even know which God-forsaken website, well…I'm not even offended they gave him dark skin, but they really had to make him look like a gender non-conforming drag...

I have an overbite (maxillary prognathism). Perhaps my dentist and orthodontist are oppressing me with "ugly racist terminology" according to Max Dashu. Seriously it is concerning when standard anthropological and medical terminology can't even be used. In fact I think they don't even want the...

Also there's this feminist historian and very stable genius, Max Dashu, who believes such words as "prognathism," "platyrhiny," and "steatopygous," are all "ugly racist terminology". The Bering Strait crossing is a racist myth that invalidates Indigenous Ways of Knowing, which say Amerindians...

Check it, yo: realhistoryww.com I would say this is what happens when the wokeness reaches 100%, except I think these guys are probably far-right "hoteps" with no tolerance of intersectional feminism which they would see as the White Man's conspiracy to keep the Black Man down. Everyone was...

To my knowledge the use of "steppe theory" here is a misnomer; it's also a straw man. The original Steppe theory is that the Indo-European languages spread to Europe from the Eurasian steppes. This thread was (originally) about some vague, nebulous constellation of things that may or may not...

Well the online race-classification concept of race clearly is socially constructed, but biologically there are clear differences. It's hard to justify "Gracile Mediterranean" and "Celtic Nordic" in objective reality. As far as critical race theory, I'm glad a European actually understands...

I've lost brain cells from this ****. So it doesn't matter that he shared the majority of his DNA with indigenous modern British people (and Europeans more broadly), but his phenotype would make him "BME" which I guess is their version of "POC". Funny, because the Nazis pulled all their...

What was done to the Palestinians in 1948 was wrong. Just like what happened to the Native Americans beginning in 1492. The difference is that the Native Americans aren't consistently trying to undo the founding of our country. The jihadists continuously attack Israel because they can't tolerate...

That guy's an ***hole. I saw he blocked someone in the comments just for criticizing his support for Palestine. He went crazy and said that "Zionism is banned" on something similarly moronic. Maybe someone should ban him on their blog and say that terrorism support is banned, just to see how he...

Pro-Palestine sentiment from the right is always garbage. Fortunately, both in the US and Europe, it is dying off.

Nope, that's 4chan and the various racial classification-obsessed Nordic supremacist forums, not Fox News or mainstream American conservatism.

This may surprise you, maybe even shock you, but the vast majority of Jewish-Americans haven't heard of Polisario, and couldn't care less about the issue. Even most Israelis, I believe, don't care one way or the other. Yes, I personally do prefer Israel as an ally of the US, as do most...

I see. Do you think that phenotype relates to the K12b component? Seems like it was a WHG descendant that was especially important in the Neolithic. In the Mesolithic it was a minority mixed with the "North European" WHG subtype, and then in the Neolithic it became a majority mixed with Basal...

I wonder if I'll get around to it, because work and Chinese keep me plenty busy, but this is a resource for learning Proto-Indo-European.
