    History Columbus was a Sephardic Jew from Western Mediterranean, study finds

    The Vikings reached North America and left almost no lasting impact. Their settlements disappeared and Europe didn’t even know they had been there so the world map didn’t change. Columbus' single event triggered the age of axploration, the colonization of the New World, the migration of...

    Debate Alexander the Great vs Julius Caesar: Who was the Greatest Commander in the Ancient World?

    The argument that Caesar inherited a "solid foundation" overlooks the fact that by 49 BC, the Roman Republic was a failing state. For a century, Rome had been plagued by systemic corruption, street violence, and the inability of a small senatorial elite to govern a vast empire. Caesar did not...

    Debate Alexander the Great vs Julius Caesar: Who was the Greatest Commander in the Ancient World?

    Julius Caesar can be argued as the stronger commander because he was not only a brilliant battlefield leader but also a strategic thinker and political architect. Unlike Alexander, whose empire collapsed immediately after his death, Caesar built structures that shaped Western history for...

    North Italians & Iberians closer to C6 than Latini

    TuscanHgdp are from the province of Grosseto if i'm not wrong, database lacks a proper North Western Tuscan sample to have a clear idea, let alone a Tuscan\Emilian Appenines sample wich would be even closer to North Italy average if we exclude Alps and Pre-Alps. It is like considering Romagnoli...

    History Do you agree with this ranking of leading civilizations over time?

    I disagree for Venice before Florence in Renaissance time. Florence is where Humanism before and Renaissance later started, and from there it spread in other Italian cities. Florence alone was richer than whole England and from Florence and Tuscany came people like Brunelleschi, Machiavelli...

    Iosif Lazaridis: Proto-Indo-Europeans had dark hair, brown eyes, and an intermed‌iate skin tone

    Moroccans and Lebanese on par with half Britain as well if you notice, if the similar ratio with North Italy and South France was not already an amusing sight to die of laughters . 😂

    Iosif Lazaridis: Proto-Indo-Europeans had dark hair, brown eyes, and an intermed‌iate skin tone

    In this very blurred pic with most of the faces covered, i can clearly see who's not Iranian and could never be found there as typical anyway. The old man with black sweater and glasses with crossed arms and the guy behind third raw are for sure Italians.. They are very typical Italians and...

    Iosif Lazaridis: Proto-Indo-Europeans had dark hair, brown eyes, and an intermed‌iate skin tone

    🤨 As i said, what are you on dude ? I have no problems, as I was already here before you so i didn't take time to register either and the op was debunked hard . The rest is gibberish and chit chat that add nothing to the great scheme, given that Pax Augusta also explained you that to...

    Iosif Lazaridis: Proto-Indo-Europeans had dark hair, brown eyes, and an intermed‌iate skin tone

    Complained ?? what are you on dude, you just keep whining on distances and useless stuff in the greater scheme and get over a lot of BS said by the op, that's what i said, never said Estonians and Belarussians are not as far like Iranians. 🤦‍♂️ Maybe you still didn't understand but it's the...

    Iosif Lazaridis: Proto-Indo-Europeans had dark hair, brown eyes, and an intermed‌iate skin tone

    He didn't overstress anything, we are in an Anthro\Genetic forum and that's the role of these kind of forums when someone say absurd theories based on nothing trying to pass them as true . Heretolearn may have not considered Estonians and Belarussians in measuring distances but the point still...

    Iosif Lazaridis: Proto-Indo-Europeans had dark hair, brown eyes, and an intermed‌iate skin tone

    Iranians and Italians are not the same people and that's a fact, even taking in consideration Estonians or not, so you are grasping at straw overstressing a comment of Heretolearn, only God knows why . He could have said that North and Central Italians are Belgians or French or even Brits going...

    Iosif Lazaridis: Proto-Indo-Europeans had dark hair, brown eyes, and an intermed‌iate skin tone

    So let me understand, you are bothered by "certain differences" ( well there are and you can clearly see them with genetic distances , you want it or not you have to deal with it as me and other Italians here accept and we are fine we are not Brit or Dutch and are genetically distant from...

    Iosif Lazaridis: Proto-Indo-Europeans had dark hair, brown eyes, and an intermed‌iate skin tone

    🤷‍♂️ So what? The dude below is from my region in Italy. He's not the average look of course, but good luck to find some 100% Ethnic Iranian like him.. Beside, that Iranian player's would be more at home in say Georgia or Ossetia than Europe and the differences between Italians and Iranians...

    Religion Why are there still Christians?

    On the subject about science as totally opposed to faith, i would like to inform many of the people that mock Catholics (or Christians in general for that matter) for things happened centuries ago, that even a Saint like Saint Pio ( Please don't throw a tantrum at me because i said Saint, it's...

    Pompei, capsula del tempo dell'Impero Romano: analisi paleogenomica dei resti umani rinvenuti nell'antica città

    He never said that Etruscans should have 100% light eyes he said that 2,4 % is ridicolously low and it is infact. Such figures would be a ridicolous statement even for modern day Levantines go figure for Etruscans.

    Religion Why are there still Christians?

    It's not a whole different discussion. It's a matter of believing blindly in something despite even science, or empirical observations in the case of a God , cannot explain it. That works for Christian people as well as for many atheists who only rely on science blindly. Deism has nothing to...

    Religion Why are there still Christians?

    Science can't even yet explain the fundamental nature of gravity, consciousness, what universe is made of , detailing how life begun on earth, how a bike can still balancing itself without someone on it hence it still doesn't know a lot of things after decades, if not centuries for some...

    Can a Spaniard, Romanian, and Swiss Italian understand Corsican?

    As a Tuscan myself i can hear some little Tuscan flavour indeed but very very mixed with more southward Central Italian dialects like Umbrian and Tuscan ( Aretino more than something like Florentine or Pisan ) almost fades away soon . In some moments i can't hear Tuscan at all but Umbrian...

    Do I have any potential Norman heritage?

    My friend has not Albanian ancestry for what i know but I don't know if his city had Albanians settlement but i guess he would have told me. In any case Dna results don't point to anything related to Albanians . Albanians in Italy are not taller or lighter than Italians, at least not...
