Posted in a response to Lazaridis on twitter apropos of a discussion about an "eastern" shift in Italy and then a "northern" shift.: "If the new paper on the spread of the Germanics is correct, the Ostrogoths and Visigoths were primarily Southern Europeans, leaving any genetic input from...

You're never going to convince people who don't understand America, don't understand the system, and don't apply critical thinking to statistics and just accept whatever is fed to them, or whatever supports their own biases. I've seen it over and over again on this site. I don't have this kind...

True. In addition, the Wiki chart is, as usual, incorrect. To the best of my recollection, the vast majority of EEF only had SLC 24A5, not SLC42A5. Furthermore, if those two snps are responsible for the vast majority of depigmentation, and originated in the Near East, how did EHG get...

Has anyone yet figured out the specific branch of G2a present in Italy during the Bronze Age, i.e. as shown in the graphic? Is it a movement from near Hungary, and perhaps results from an incorporation of a particular G2a lineage by the steppe people?

Too much analysis of Southern Italian dna has taken as its starting point the Indo-Europeans, Magna-Graecia etc., as if the South was empty of people when the newcomers arrived.

The Latin "SPEAKERS", not the Latins of history who actually accomplished anything. If you look at the schematic above you can see that the LATINS were majority Anatolia Neolithic with a big chunk of Iranian like, i.e. non-steppe CHG. When compared to modern Europeans the Republican Era Latins...

^^As was shown in the paper on the Danube/Balkans, the prosperous elite had genomes more similar to people from the southeast/Middle East. I think we should all be able to agree that the elite merchants became elite merchants because their cognitive functioning was high. If authors are going...

Oppenheimer was just another intellectual fellow traveler. Like the Cambridge spies in England, being pro-Soviet was acceptable during the 30s and 40s because the Soviet Union was our ally against the Nazis. However, once the war was over and the U.S. saw the route which the Soviet Union was...

I figured, so I gave it a pass. From what I can tell, it's a post-modern, neo-Marxist movie about a Marxist fellow traveler if not card carrying Communist who, if he didn't directly pass nuclear secrets to the Soviets, associated with those who did. Lillian Hellman was a silly writer in...

OMG! What a magnificent dancer he is, and stunning looking to boot. His face could be lifted from an icon.

Please. I guess if calling someone's argument mind boggling is considered a huge insult, the Dutch must save all their rudeness for when they travel abroad. Dutch people are known all over Europe for their rudeness and insults, although to be fair their cheapness also grates on locals. Some of...

Sorry about that. [/IMG]

Sorry about the mix up, Silesian. Anyone who would say such a thing has a screw loose and I would immediately cross them off my list of people whom I engage in conversation. Life is too short to waste it on idiocy. As for my pet peeves, I have dozens of them, too many to list, and mostly...

No problem, Moesan. We're good, as always. :) It just so happens that every Sunday an Italian couple whose youtube channel I follow (Leave everything and Wander) posts a new video. They're Piemontese, but just bought an olive grove in Sicily with a beautiful view of the sea. I did a double...
