The further back you go and compare these ancient genetic groups with modern population. Ancient populations even within themselves always appear more genetically diverse compared to the diversity within modern population (especially Europeans). I don't think this is a matter of opinion but a...
My statement is not meant as an attack on Indians, British, Baltic or any other folks. I was just trying to visualize how people this far distant from the actual regions of question, would have very lengthy debates over 50-200 km of distance of land, because of an artificial "border" created...
I think there is a consensus among the scientist today that, although Yamnaya is essential for the dispersal of most Indo European languages, it is not ground zero. Indo-Anatolian is very unlikely from Yamnaya but represents more like a brother branch to Core Yamnaya. And this Proto IA-Yamnaya...
Also it seems to be finally a consensus now that Yamnaya is not where it all started. Yamnaya represents the ancestor of Corded Ware and afanasievo. Linguistically Tocharian might be what best represents the proto speech of Yamnaya folks

I haven't been here for a long time. This new paper is very interesting and indeed proves what many of the users had proposed earlier.
I always said Indo Europeans do not seem to be derived from a single atomic culture and genetic group, but rather formed more out of a cultural network from the...
Hia name is spelled Barzani not Bashrani. Turkey, Iran, Iraq, threatned to attack if they do the referendum he gone the way. Do you think he risked this all just for negotiations? He gives the Iraqi central government a chance to give an alternative (as I said a Schottland type model) but he...
It seems you didn't get my post. The central government uses the Barcelona case to bring up fear in some voters. All I say is they would never force Barcelona out of the league, if they did so they would lose allot of money.
Also I already stated 2-3 times in this thread that I am for a free...
Do you really believe Catalan teams would be thrown out of La Liga by case of segregation. I mean La Liga (the State) makes around half a billion just from the El Classico. La Liga without Barcelona would lose 30-40% of it's viewers and sponsors. It would hurt both sides and I am pretty sure...
Would be nice if you did the same with Kurds.
Back to topic I gave my support for a Catalan country already in the past. If that isn't possible at least a British Wales-England relationship should be given.
This thread is from 2011 holy cow since than almsot 6 years are gone. And I have far more information today then the time when I made this thread. You can link some features to DNA but pigmentation isn't a major one of them. Yet today you can tell by aDNA even pigmentation. It doesn't mean that...
Drawing recently discovered near Khomein show a person riding a horse with archery. Based on Dutch archeologists the drawings are 40,000 years old. If this turns out to be true then this would be oldest evidence of horse domestication.
Horse Archery 40000 years ago amazing...
Bell Beaker is a local farmng culture and it's origin predates the supposed Steppe migration. The massacres were made by the Schönfelder culture. Schönfelder and Bernburg are non Bell Beaker local farming cultures too.
This is about LBK people and has nothing to do with CWC massacers. The major difference here however in comparison to Americas is, that the archeologists say there is no evidence of any violance from the CWC towards the local farmer groups however there is evidence of violance from the farmer...
As I wrote obviously the Steppe herders expanded into areas which were sparsely populated and not so much suited for cereal farming. The reason why both CWC and Sintashta had EEF is because they both derive from a common group of herders which moved into a region populated by some neolithic...
