    Films & Series Netflix docu-series with a black Queen Cleopatra.

    I honestly don't get it. Surely the executives at Netflix have a college degree and can read the English language. A two minute foray into Goggle should have put them straight if they didn't learn it at school. Why finance a project which you know is a lie? What does it get these white...

    Politics "WOKE" America

    Amen to that. The poison spread from academia to the students who eventually were hired as marketing directors, etc. at large companies. They somehow convinced the CEOs to go along with this agenda under the guise of growing their market share. The marketing director for Bud Light, a woman as...

    Politics "WOKE" America

    Well, there's a mistake. I think the whole world is going mad. I spent years fighting for women's rights, to have them taken away from me and my daughter by, among other things, failed male athletes suffering from misogyny and malignant narcissism. That same misogyny and malignant narcissism...

    What did ancient Rome look like?

    Very true.

    US Elections Vote for a president of USA. 2024 election.

    When (I hope), Ron DeSantis declares, he'll be my guy. No question and no wavering.

    Politics "WOKE" America

    No children should be given puberty blockers, and no children should be transitioned, period. It's indeed monstrous. No 12 year old has the judgment to make these decisions. Neither do some parents. Some idiots are out there transitioning a boy because he likes to play with dolls. Maybe he'll...

    Focaccia alla genovese

    I grew up on this, and on the Tuscan version called "Schiacciata". The plain one is, believe it or not, fabulous dipped into cappuccino. I never eat it here unless I make it myself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivY_n-jpvr4

    Extraordinary selection on the X Chromosome

    Roman Baths and Public Buildings still in use today

    See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-IjKXTvEOM The Pantheon is my absolutely favorite building. Try to go very early in the morning when there won't be many people and stand in the center below the oculus. It feels like being at the center of the universe. You wouldn't get me in the hot...

    qpAdm false reports

    Like I said...a lot of amateur analyses and even some academic ones are just plain wrong, partly because people don't understand how to use it, and they let their biases influence their choices in qpAdm, and even in Admixture. False discovery rates of qpAdm-based screens for genetic...

    Was Elvis Presley Jewish?

    I read he dyed his hair to look more like Gladys, whom he adored. Regardless, he made the right choice, imo, although he was beautiful as a blonde as well. I can't believe I didn't appreciate him or see his appeal when I was a teen-ager, and into my 20s. Partly it was because "that" Elvis was...

    Was Elvis Presley Jewish?

    No need to get excited, Palermo. I just wanted to clarify whether you were talking about mtDna or autosomal dna. As you know, Gladys' mtDna (and Elvis') would not have passed down to Riley. I wonder whether the information about Gladys having a Cherokee grandmother is based on testing, some...

    Societal Duty to have Children Attitude by Country

    I find it extremely sad that so many hamlets and villages in my valley will soon be abandoned, but I understand the reasons why Italy has been for decades and decades, from right after the war, really, a one child country, as I see why living in those hamlets is completely infeasible. The other...

    Limits of F-statistics for modeling population history

    Apologies if this has already been posted. Paper from the Reich Lab. Only a few papers have been re-examined using the new tool. I think a lot of things might change at least slightly if other papers are examined. See: On the limits of fitting complex models of population history to...

    Genomic sequence data from Neolithic and Epipaleolithic individuals from NW Africa.

    Well, then, we should take the information as absolutely accurate! :)

    Was Elvis Presley Jewish?

    Sorry, Palermo, I'm a bit confused. If the Cherokee ancestry is proved through mtDna it would have nothing to do with Elvis. Riley Keough's mother Lisa Marie would have the mtDna of Elvis' wife Priscilla. Men can't pass on mtDna. If the Native American showed up on the autosomes, the only way...

    Was Elvis Presley Jewish?

    In the American south of that time people would often obfuscate about their lineage in order to hide non-white ancestors. People who were relatively dark and had some small percentage of African ancestry would sometimes claim an ancient Native American ancestor. Those with Native American...

    Genomic sequence data from Neolithic and Epipaleolithic individuals from NW Africa.

    Wait... ydna R1b1a1b1a1a2b1a was in northwest Africa in the early Neolithic? Wouldn't that be 5400B.C.? I hope the paper provides an explanation.
