    The Canaanites and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

    Surely Hellenistic Greek females were much more important than Iberian females, at 35-60%.

    How ethnically European (white) is Europe in 2024?

    Doesn't the U.S. police force refer to people who are Middle Eastern/MENA as being separate from "Caucasians" of European origin?

    How ethnically European (white) is Europe in 2024?

    I wonder why the East Eurasian elements are stronger around the west and south coasts of Turkey than in the interior? Better climate?

    Economy Why building with stone is more sustainable and long lasting than concrete

    High modern buildings, above say 30 metres or so, are usually pretty ugly as a rule. Many European cityscapes are marred by these shapeless or badly shaped high-rise buildings towering over the older, more locally traditional, buildings..

    Genetic study The arrival of the Near Eastern ancestry in Central Italy predates the onset of the Roman Empire

    Ancona retained its own coinage with images of the Greek deity Aphrodite and the Greek language into Roman times. Nothing very Picene about that. Unlike the western Tyrrhenian coast of Italy, the eastern Adriatic coast of Italy had few good landing places apart from Apulia for seafarers like...

    italian genetics

    Politics Trump may not be as bad as he appears

    I'm sure any leader needs trustworthy supporters but what if these supporters lack the appropriate skills to do the job?

    Politics Trump may not be as bad as he appears

    The people he is appointing are mostly yes men and women and some have no political experience at all. However, I see wokeness as a pseudo-Marxist disease which requires strong and unpleasant medicine to cure the patient. Trump is that medication.
