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...

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...

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...

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...

After a brief check on those frequencies North Italy and Tuscany are majority Italic-celtic beaker indeed .

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...

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 . 😂

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...

🤨 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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

🤷‍♂️ 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...

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...
