"New York" accent

Regarding MTA, it is only very recently that a pre-print came out that can confirm ancient IBD analysis for academic papers. I wouldn't trust features that tries to confirm direct ancestry with ancient population for consumer-genomics tests yet.

Wait a minute, don't commercial genomic tests use IBD already in their comparisons with modern populations? Do they just use best fit, least squares?

I don't think MTA has released any white papers regarding Deep Dive, or other aspects of their methodology.
 
OMG, we've got another one.
He thinks that the Sicilians were/are Germanic.:LOL:

Also he is unaware of the mess caused by the somewhat unstable Longobards/Lombards in Italian history.
At least the Normans set up a coherent, well-run kingdom in Southern Italy and Sicily.

Yes, that's when I stopped reading the post. :)

The number of unstable, obsessive people attracted to this hobby is just incredible. It's like a magnet.

I have less and less interest as a result.

Indeed, the number of unstable people, especially young people, seems to be increasing exponentially. I used to blame it on too many drugs at too young ages, but maybe there's more to it than that. Perhaps, it's a mistake to turn away from the traditions of the past. They became traditions because they worked. The weakest among us need boundaries, certainties, that help control the darkness within.
