When comparing the North ; Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland.... with South ; Portugal, Spain, Greece, Croatia, Albania, Bulgaria.... the one can notice that the North is working much more than the South. Working hours can be lesser in some countries maybe but their "efficiency" is very...

What if all Middle Eastern countries would unite together in an organization like European Union. Suppose a Union starting from Turkey in the West, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan in North, Afghanistan, Pakistan in the East and Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Oman in South. Very large area including many...

After Croatia, which country is closer to join to European Union? Turkey, Serbia, Macedonia, Albania, Moldova, Azerbaijan or Georgia? http://irglobal.blogspot.com/

European Early Modern Humans (EEMH), commonly known as Cro-Magnons, arrived in several waves from the Near East to Europe. Thinking about what Y-DNA haplogroup can be associated with them, and in which order they migrated to Europe, I came up with the following chronology for the Upper...

Eupedia is a website about Europe and so far I have limited the distribution maps of haplogroups to Europe and its periphery. But I thought it would be interesting to see the global distribution, especially in Asia since it is linked to the propagation of Indo-European people and languages. It...

Isn't there some genetic research of the Montenegrin population? If there is, couldn't the adminstrator write those down and include them on the list of the Y-DNA haplogroups in "Distribution of European Y-chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) haplogroups by country in percentage"?

I have checked the forecasts for GDP per capita (PPP) for the next five years. Slavic and Baltic countries in the EU are starting to overtake older member states from southern Europe. The Czechs are already richer than the Greeks and Portuguese, and will have caught up with the Italians by 2018...

Croatia has joined today the European Union, becoming its 28th member state, just two decades after it declared independence from Yugoslavia. Croatia is hoping to join the Eurozone within 4 or 5 years.

This thread's purpose is to discuss and vote for Europe's most romantic destinations. The criteria to take into account are the atmosphere, the scenery, the beauty of the buildings, the quality and atmosphere of local restaurants, the friendliness of the locals, the weather, and above all...

Three and a half years ago, I was writing about the possibility that the Gulf Stream was weakening because of the melting of the icebergs and ice caps in Greenland and Canada. The ice caps are made of fresh water and their melting into the North Atlantic Ocean disturbs the existing sea currents...

My aim with Eupedia is ultimately to create a comprehensive guide of all Europe. For the time being I am concentrating on Western Europe. Ireland and Spain were added recently. The next countries will probably be Austria and Denmark. I have listed all the destinations and attractions that I...

Thanks to population genetics, we are becoming increasingly aware of just how mixed our ancestry really is. The old stereotypes about ethnic purity are meaningless when we think in term of genetic admixtures and deep ancestry spanning over 10,000 years or more. Yet, ethnic groups still exist...

This seeming oxymoron and tongue twister came to me as I read the earlier thread called "European Identiy", discussing the existence of a common European identity. It seems as if peoples personal identity and perception of themselves is more complex than we often think about. Culture, physical...

Is this weeks summit resulting in an actual fiscal union or is this another Euro Gimmick to calm investors. Do the voters of Europe want or even understand what is going on? With the UK now marginalised can we really thrive on the fringes of Europe with the EZ increasingly pro-regulation of the...

Though it might be interesting to post various statistics for: • GDP per capita • Average Wage • Unemployment Rate • Human Development Index There is alot of talk about crisis in Europe, some times its better to stop listening to the talk and look at some hard numbers. :thinking:

Yesterday the French, British and Americans have AGAIN gone to war. We have already seen from Iraq and Afghanistan that the politcal and cultural problems in the Arab world cannot be solved by taking a dicatator out of power and setting up some ballot boxes. What can "the West" possibly hope...

With the rise of China as an economic and political super-power, are you worried about the potential drop in your living standards? With the Austerity measures being unrolled across Europe and with the fudamental weaknesses still unresolved within the Euro-zone, some are wondering if Europe...
