You have my thoughts! Live out your days to the fullest and don't let this disease prevent you from doing so! I see your point. There's no IBD between European Jews and north Italians (and Sardinians were isolated on their island for who knows how long) so neither can be the source of Southern...

Netanyahu needs to read a few papers and realize that's he's only about half Levantine. Palestinians are genetically very close to ancient levantines and their Arabian ancestry is way less than the European ancestry in Ashkenazis. Netanyahu is doing nothing but spreading crazy political lies to...

ah forget it, said something dumb. Wish I could delete posts. Dangit!

What's the distance score for the model with the high steppe score for Ashkenazi? Just curious

My apartment doesn't have a dishwasher but I get around this by using paper plates

I love getting drunk, but I usually prefer getting tipsy and content. I don't get drunk nearly as often as I used to and everything is a-ok with me healthwise, save for an iffy digestive system and heart palpitations (but these issues started before I had my first sip of alcohol)

All due respect, I doubt that 24.2 steppe is accurate. This model probably needs more EEF /A_Neo and less steppe to be accurate. Levant and Iran neo scores seem about right. i don't see how small amounts of extra central/ Eastern euro in a Greek/Levantine person can boost up to 24.2 percent steppe

Wow, I would love to move in to a predominately East Asian community (and I'm not flexing my PC muscles saying this, I really mean it). Nothing against those who would feel uncomfortable, I'm not the typical PC guy who would label them as "racist". Im just someone who would never feel home sick.

Well it looks like some of these are 1/2 Mycenaean (like) 1/2 Levant so perhaps a Mycenaean population mixed heavily with the locals. Im willing to bet these greek settlers are the source of the Southern European ancestry in European Jews

Let's be real...Neolithic (this includes EEF, Iran, and Levant Neolithic) and steppe societies were not always peaceful. I cannot imagine the "y-replacement" in Europe to be a result of anything other than a band of steppe people with their weaponry and horses (fast 1000 lb animals) annihilating...

Since there were very few Phoenicians who were in Italy and Sicily and going by what the Levantine slaves went through in Ancient Rome, i don't see how the gene pool of southern Italy and Sicily could've changed due to a substantial inflow from the Levant. These people would have to travel...

Health issues might play a role...this is personal experience but I've seen some kids who are way more obese than they should be and they probably sit around at the PlayStation or pc while munching on processed snacky cakes and crunchy doodles. Just today I walked by a few kids who probably...

Stress might play a role, though I'm not sure if it's any worse for kids these days. I think I read that kids in the US are constantly being bombed with tests as part of this common core thing and it's messing with their mental health but I'm not sure if it's any worse than what students went...

The issue is that academics who have advanced degrees and who have done their hard time in the research lab aren't nearly as qualified or as intelligent as the racist bloggers bc well....uhhh..durrrrr.....they're..uuuuurrr..."politically correct" or uh somethin like a dat..yeah dats about it...

"Same general type as Peter Farinelli? What do you think?" Wow, amazing how close that surname (Farinelli) is to mine

Nice study but they could've used Minoan samples since Crete was the Minoan homeland.

The grand majority of Jewish Americans are Ashkenazi and have both European and Middle Eastern ancestry so it would be hard to choose between filling in the European or the middle eastern box. Maybe we should have a west Eurasian category that covers Europe and the near east? It's a tough call

Smart move of you to point out its in lbs!!

Exactly! I heard this idea thrown around a few times: that there should be a separate racial category for middle eastern people in the US which makes no sense at all. The closest non European population to Europeans is definitely the Middle Easterners and they're real close.

You are very welcome!
