Going back to the paper, already quoted by Real Expert on page 1 of this thread, it looks Iron Age Sicani largely descended from earlier Bronze Age populations in Sicily, but they now carried an Iranian-related component (6.3% give or take) And then for more recent gene flow, the authors...

You snicker relentlessly. However, if you look at my comment just above, #246 on this thread, you will see that I actually posed a very naive, three-part question. I am definitely not drawing conclusions about where the Sicani originated. I simply pointed to Markod's comment regarding...

This comment by Markod, comment #31 on the 2019 thread devoted to Fernandes & Olalde, "Arrival of Steppe & Iranian Related Ancestry in Islands of the Western Mediterranean," seems to support notion that a major ancestral component of the Sicani came from Illyria ==

[/COLOR] When we describe the Sicani as indigenous or autochthonous, what does that mean exactly? 1 - Do we mean that the ancestral components of the Sicani first coalesced into a single population in Sicily? 2 - Or do we mean that the population had been in Sicily for a significant length...

Purely self-interested comment, but I'm glad to see G-Z1903 prominent among the Sicani

Excellent analysis of the Nordstream attacks by Ron Unz ==

Excerpts on autarky

I prefer DeSantis over Trump as well, for a host of reasons, not the least of which is his youth. Though I would not want to make a hard-and-fast rule excluding the elderly from office, we suffer from a surfeit of geriocracy.

I too admire the Quakers and the Amish. However, if you look at what I said upthread, I said that a continent-spanning country such as the USA should aspire to autarky, whereas Europe would need to have substantial trade relations with Russia, and so a self-contained north Eurasian economic...

Trump's style was bombastic, and many "alt right" personalities are self-styled "edge lords," but I am not the one or the other. In fact, I am arguing for a return to limits and a focus on restoring the internal health of the US, in particular, rebuilding its industrial capacity...

You don't need Dugin to make these criticisms. Christopher Lasch for one didn't. And I could name many, many others. That would be trite. I accept all these labels. However, my romanticism is informed by the hard law of history that no people survives for long (let alone flourishes) that...

It's nothing to do with Dugin, and everything to do with Aristotle. The elite can promote the common good of their people, or they can act against the common good. And yes, if true populists come to power in Europe, they will form a new elite. The question is how they will rule. Can its...

I don't find the right/left distinction particularly salient. The relevant distinction is national-populist versus global-imperialist. I guess I didn't make clear that I was citing Victor Davis Hanson *disapprovingly*, as an insight into establishment thinking in the USA, to point to their...

My position is not as simple as you say. I recognize the right of the Ukrainians to their own sovereign destiny (especially in the areas of the country where they are the ethnic majority, largely the western half), to resist Russia's imperial ambitions, and to orient themselves to Western...

For the moment, Germany has chosen its Western identity over gravitating toward Russia. But what exactly does the West stand for anymore? Does it stand for its own historically embodied peoples and their posterity? Or does it stand merely for abstract principles that we already see routinely...

Rather than have a multipolar world, a US pole, a German-Russian pole, a Chinese pole, an Indian pole, and so forth, the US has instead opted for a new bipolar order. And in this order, the US will preside over a much reduced West, set against a Eurasian block that commands much greater natural...

Tip of my cap to Jovialis on his great insight into Southern Italian genetics

Have other people here looked through the ethnicity scores of their close cousins on Ancestry? Having done that, I must say that I don't have much confidence in the accuracy of anything outside the major ethnicity scores, as none of my cousins share my more "exotic" 1% inputs, whether Russian...
