Greg Clark: Genetics and Social Mobility, transcript of an interview. See: Manifold | Transcript: Greg Clark: Genetics and Social Mobility — #14 (manifold1.com) It's a long and sometimes difficult read, but it's a complicated and very important issue. I read his first paper or two and thought...

Stop t-rolling, whoever you are. Columbus was not of Polish descent. PERIOD.

Thanks, Salento. I thought since it's closer in time and I often get one or two Corsican matches, it might be the same for them, but I don't get any good matches. Sardinians really are distinct. Distance to: Angela 8.21967153 Sardinia_Medieval:SNN003_Sassari_SAS_San-Nicoa-Necropoi-Esterna...

See: Public views on polygenic screening of embryos | Science "For decades, people have used genetic information to exercise control over the kinds of children they will have. These technologies have largely targeted chromosomal and monogenic disorders and traits; but most human phenotypes are...

Gina, again, since someone mentioned her beauty on another thread. She really did have a very lovely figure, even for Italy, where hourglass shapes are by no means uncommon, far from it. As beautiful as she was in the glamour pictures she took for most of her life, and which feature the...

Translation of Marco Mengoni's San Remo winning song: Due Vite We are the only ones awake in the whole universe And I don't know your desert well yet Maybe it's in a place in my heart Where the sun is always off Where sometimes I lose you But if I want I'll catch you We are stuck in a time...

See: https://www.heritagedaily.com/2023/02/archaeologists-find-lost-stronghold-of-unetice-culture/146211 Not so sure there's evidence for their conclusion, but interesting, nonetheless. "The Únětice culture, named for a type-site cemetery in the village of Únětice, was a Bronze Age culture...

"The potential of climate change to substantially alter human history is a pressing concern, but the specific effects of different types of climate change remain unknown. This question can be addressed using palaeoclimatic and archaeological data. For instance, a 300-year, low-frequency shift to...

Now my favorite rendition. Go, Chris.

The Latins were approximately around 63% Anatolian Neolithic, some probably more with also some WHG. Why wouldn't they be pretty close to Bronze Age Italians?

I've had enough of this stupidity. Never have I see a scientific thread deteriorate so completely, so quickly. The GODS of the Greek and Roman pantheon were NOT people. They were personifications of attributes or forces of nature. They tell us nothing of DNA or descent which is the freaking...

Standing ovation for this one. :)

Even more strange is that Northern Italy has 19% Iran Neo/Caucasus,and Spain not much less (15%) but no Levant Neo at all for either country. For Northern Italy, that's a ten point jump since the Republic. What possible historical event could cause that??? Just as an aside, I love how the...

I find the Villaricos tomb from Iberia very interesting. It repeats the pattern from the other paper we recently discussed in that these Greeks were endogamous, and practiced first cousin marriage. The same was probably true of the Catalunya sample which is still very similar to the Mycenaeans...

What we know is that there were extremely few Canaanite/Phoenicians in the Phoenician/Punic sites, for reasons I explained in another post. Magrebi is not a word I would use to describe the North Africans of this time period. The addition of a lot more SSA admixture as a result of the Arab...

According to the authors there was a "discontinuity" between the Phoenician and Punic "eras". It makes complete sense given the Phoenicians were just setting up trading centers, and then the history of the Levant. The North Africans took it over, as I've pointed out before. It's interesting...
