Spring-Loaded Heels Gave Extra Step to Early Homo Sapiens
Perhaps this is why modern African atheletes dominate most Marathon length running events. Since they do not have any Neandertal DNA and modern European and Asians do?
I wonder if the amount of Sub-Saharan DNA found in Portugal is a remnant from Portugal's long history of exploration and colonies in Africa? Or exchange of African DNA from Brazil?
In my professional life I guess I have a sort of "stuffy" attitude about some things. I like doing a good complete job, I like giving my customers the best service I can, I like making sure I always do the right thing and I try not to be confrontational but I don't hedge my opinion when asked...
There might be some physical characteristics that are defined by certain Y groups, things like male fertility or maybe a tendancy to produce more male offspring than female offspring. There might even be some sex linked differences that are responsible for certain behavioral traits. I seem to...
Our general charateristics are determined by our autosomal DNA and not our mtDNA or Y DNA haplogroup. Two individuals can have identical mtDNA and Y DNA markings and look completely different as far as eye, hair and skin color, along with other physical attributes.
Yorkie is quite right about the invaders and later land lords of the Saxon's being a mixed bag of scoundrels from the continent. The main thing they had in common was that they were French speaking and in league with the Bastard to take over control of a wealthy and prosperous kingdom.
Half of them look like they could be Mexican or some other Latin American group. :innocent: Are you sure they aren't illegal immigrants who snuck into Poland. :laughing:
I had always thought that the rising sea level in the Mediterranean Sea broke through the Bosporus and flooded back into the Black Sea. Before 5500 B.C. the Black Sea was a fresh water lake. They have been able to date the age of the "Great Flood" by dating the age of fresh water mussels found...
I think turnips were common in Europe as a root crop that fed poor and rich a like.
Another favorite of mine are Pretzels, all their different varieties. I saw them all over Germany.
There might have been some Turkic or Mongolian admixture with the tribes traditionally considered to be Scythians. From what I have read the Scythian language was an Indo-European language of the Iranian branch. The Y DNA that I have read about from the majority of skeletons described as being...
Friendships Moderate an Association between a Dopamine Gene Variant and Political Ideology
Basically the paper finds a link between a particular mutation of the Gene DRD4 and the number friends one had during adolescence with your political leanings as an adult.
Personally I think that they...
It is very interesting and although the genetic evidence points to an out of Africa scenario for the population of Asia, these Neaderthals or Neanderthal analogs might have developed from the Asian strain of Homo Erectus. This strain could have been instrumental in some of the specific...
This article is about 3 years old and I have not been able to find any follow up on it and if it ever resulted in any definite findings?
Search for Christopher Columbus Origin
Apparently he was able to get several hundred samples from the Ligurian area of Italy and the Catalan area Spain of...
