Fst is a measure of population differentiation due to genetic structure, tells you how similar or different two populations are, most of you know it I assume. These results are from the supplementary tables in Lazaridis et al(2016) "genetic structure of the world's first farmers" Levant...

Yeah, Andronovo had "measurably" lighter individuals compared tp Yamnaya. In theory, light blonde hair correlates with Ancient North Eurasian "ANE" ancestry, the first individual who had alleles for light hair was an ANE from Siberia, the Scandinavian HG were also light haired, and they had...

It depends on which Steppe population you choose to model south Asians with, in Lazaridis et al(2016) they chose Steppe EMBA (Yamnaya) and dismissed Steppe MLBA (Sintashta) which was admixed with European farmers. If Yamnaya is chosen then Steppe ancestry rises from 25% to 40% in various South...

I see it that they were the conquerors, its the story of their arrival to India, because they are the Indo Aryans, in part at least. Why do we have this picture of the peaceful farmer? They were conquerors too, desiring more land and removing or subjugating anyone who stands in their way...

The North African morphology, if taken as a sign of an adaptation to a warm climate, would mean the Villabruna had ancestry from some part in the Middle East, objection to this points to the fact that there is no Basal Eurasian in Villabruna. But what if it happened before Basal Eurasians...

Why should they feel ashamed? the Indo-Aryans were their ancestors, and did contribute ancestry to all people in India, Indians and all people must accept that they are the result of a mixture of different peoples, these people must have come from somewhere, I mean it's not like they grew out of...

Some say that "someone" is a really talented individual ... full of charisma and intellect. I posted something similar here in Eupedia, he must have copied me...

We give Nordicists too much attention, who cares ? we dont talk about afro-centrists as often, they hold the same degree of political influence, which is null.

Someone on youtube claimed Middle Eastern Christians choose to identify as white more than Muslim Middle Easterners do, I couldn't verify his claim. But he does raise a very interesting issue, Armenians and Georgians identify more as European than their neighboring Azeri people, who are Muslim...

Saudi authorities have not yet commented on the reported events.

I agree, personal freedom is preserved, and you don't enforce your views on others, that's the correct stance. However, if Muslims outreproduce non-Muslims in Europe, which is a fear to some, then why would they confirm to the local laws of the previous majority ? local laws are an outcome of a...

Ok, so how do you measure proper education or degree of respect to local laws? Another question, is Islam fundamentally alien to European values (e.g. freedom of religion), if an immigrant is a Muslim and you had the choice to reject him or not, would you?

Honey, your argument was because a couple of guys from the Arab Gulf are V13, then the thousands of V13 in Europe are slaves from Syria, seriously? No need to invoke slavery here, but its more likely that they were European slaves brought to Arabia, but I don't believe that because humans can...

So it's ok if a German born but fully Nigerian person declares himself European ?

Ah, so because 20% SSA, where does the line stop though? Saudis and Palestinians also have SSA. Interesting how North African Jews don't have SSA, because of the recent Iberomaurusian paper I thought most of SSA in North Africa is Ancient, and if you argue that Jewish groups formed as a mixture...

The simple layman will never accept the argument of geography, anyone who is racially different from his people will never be part of the tribe. The enlightened philosophy of the equality of peoples regardless of race never went through his head. Is Europe diverse racially? would you consider...

A good question, but the people in between are very few in number, Jewish groups that formed relatively recently, and east Mediterranean islanders. They may not be few if you include North Africans, a true Mediterranean cline would form in the middle, I wonder why they're not included.

Roman veterans were granted land after they completed their service in the military, Roman legions were composed of Roman citizens typically from the Italian peninsula, but auxilaries which contributed most of the cavalry and archers were from the non-citizen inhabitants of the vast Roman...

No there isn't, unless by a lot you mean one person from a thousand, then maybe.
