See: Parental influence on human germline de novo mutations in 1,548 trios from Iceland | Nature The characterization of mutational processes that generate sequence diversity in the human genome is of paramount importance both to medical genetics1,2 and to evolutionary studies3. To understand...

^^Looks rather typically North African to me, like his son Rameses II. The mummy can't lie. :)

Yes, that's exactly what the papers show, imo.

Here is the link to the paper. If after you have read it you still think you know better than the engineers at MIT, I suggest you contact them and impart your greater knowledge. Hot mixing: Mechanistic insights into the durability of ancient Roman concrete | Science Advances As for me, I won't...

Sorry, but imo you're wrong. For one thing, I'm leaning towards the idea that Corded Ware and the Beakers, for example, formed as a mixture of people from the steppe with Copper Age farmers from cultures like Globular Amphora and Cucuteni-Tripolye, with minimal input from farming cultures...

I have never said that I feel dislike for Germans born after WWII because of the atrocities committed during the war. I do think, however, that we find people from different cultures more or less agreeable, and that's a right we all have. I have a friend, Irish-American, who was in my study...

I drag it in because your bias is so glaringly obvious. Have you read all my posts? I have pointed out your errors in reading comprehension. Did you read the article??? This is not about volcanic ash from the Bay of Naples. It is about a HOT mixing technique. It was no doubt used in the...

Sorry, out of juice, but thank you. I'll read it with interest, as I'm curious about the connection to ritual violence, which, if I'm interpreting correctly, was a major factor.

I think traveler addresses the general topic very well. If I may interject, mating patterns will vary in many ways, meaning more or less structure, depending on location, i.e. geography, land use, economic structure, religion, social mores etc. Rural areas are going to have less variation...

As I said, perhaps it's reading comprehension in a language not one's own, which is understandable. The OR is important. Just reacting with water creates the recrystallization as calcium carbonate and then fill the crack. Perhaps, if you haven't, you should read the entire article, such as...

Also, the Pantheon doesn't have metal rods to keep it standing, but it's still going strong 2000 years later. I'm sure if they examine a piece of the concrete they'll find those same "clasts". Another interesting feature is that they solved the problem of not having the building settle over the...

My distances to even northern and north/central Italians are only 3s and 4s, so I think these are very respectable distances. Shows again that not much changed in the Greek world broadly speaking from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age.

Most academics don't care about uniparentals, not even the y, but they should. It's a good way, at least with the y, of tracking migration if the sample is good enough.

@Bicicleur and Torzio. It's not about that. They specifically address that issue and say it doesn't explain it. It's about a different process. Helps to read at least the whole post if the article is too long, people. Unless the problem is reading comprehension?

One candidate may be the chemical additives whose use greatly accelerated in the late 1960s. "Phthalate esters have a diverse array of uses in consumer products, and they can be classified into 2 categories: low–molecular weight phthalates are frequently added to shampoos, cosmetics, lotions...

while ours crumble after a few decades? I've often wondered myself, not only in terms of the roads, but more importantly the sewers and aqueduct. Some of the ones in Rome itself are still operating efficiently today. Or, just go see the Pantheon, my favorite building in the world, still...

Levels of testosterone have also declined. No one seems to know why. What precisely changed in 1973? See: https://twitter.com/EvaVlaar/status/1611402592394821642

Yes, I saw it too; just put a few pictures in the "beauty ideal" section. There used to be so many beautiful actresses, and actors. Now it's all different. Perhaps the movie I remember best is Solomon and Sheba with Yul Brynner, one of the sexiest men alive imo which I saw on television years...
