fun fact is that you are not even entitled to use the negative button, if you do, for posts that you seriously think are nonsense, you get banned for whatever twisted reasons; a childish game, specially by those who react; anyways spanish rule in italy (milan/naples) was first and foremost...

the Genographic Project has two Next Generation tests, one is the 'helix kit' for USA customers only and processed at a lab in san diego,CA and the other is the 'international kit' for all other countries + canada and processed at a lab in houston,TX (genebygene/partnershipFTDNA); the...

the article does mention the cheddar man 'had “ancestral” versions of all these genes' concerning pigmentation, yet since labrana and loschbour were homozygous derived at rs6119471 thus maybe also the cheddar man; other than that a typical WHG profile, old news; just last year gonzales-fortes et...

yes, that is what i meant with 'extensive data', though that so much literature stress the "fact" that romans saw red-haired people everywhere they looked i did expect the six british celts to be red-haired or at least the majority after all they span two-three hundred years of roman period...

i understood that part and keep the answering short, its apples and oranges; i never doubted the length of spanish rule what is not accurate is your presentation/context of the wars, and why would it be hard to maintain? if there were no revolts and milan/naples marched right along with it #39...

what assertion? if you were asserting that post-wars italy was the center of innovation than yes i disagree, that was mostly pre-wars italy; as for this in specifics #35 "France and Spain did conquer and occupy large parts of Italy, although Spanish rule was more successful and lasted longer"...

the rest, fits with the op;

the renaissance was pre italian-wars, after the italian-wars (pavia1525) which was hereditary at root (anjou claims / valois(visconti) claims) the large parts of italy(milan/naples) under PhilipII were than mostly/solely the supply of armory(milan) and soldiers/mercenaries(milan/naples) as the...

The main tool of the Renaissance was the printing press with movable type of Johannes Gutenberg (15th century); Otherwise all the knowledge that poured in from Byzantium (and was translated) could not have been mass distributed;

maybe the ingots/objects derived from foreign ores are the result of loot/naval raids as 'the unruly Sherden whom no one had ever known how to combat, they came boldly sailing in their warships from the midst of the sea, none being able to withstand them' KRI II/290; the uluburun shipwreck...

exactly that, and never said otherwise, in fact #37 "with a strong affinity towards modern sardinians which is neolithic based" 20-12-17; yes the ligurians were a very large population and it is known archaeologically since the terremare that the po valley could foster/harbor such large...

that is for sure, and that is how much missing a word or using a false word distorts (as related meant related to me) #122 should have been 'type ancestry' or 'substrate type' ancestry and not implying a direct migration ancestry (though can never be ruled out either); i think the listed...

relatedness is not determined by admixture analysis but by IBD analysis (segments), the admixture analysis only determines your broad regional ancestry by the given defined clusters; the more detailed the better the insight yet it only goes so far as the overlap; of course north_italy has a...

gencove UPDATE! 01/2018 with new clusters FTDNAb_37_concatenated / FTDNAb_37_autos

yes they might not have been on the coast directly yet coastal in the broadest sense, and how many actually existed? from what i have seen maybe ~ten at best with those of substance necropolii/tophets prob ~5; for the punic/charthage chronology i have found these two links...
