    The Sun Sneeze: Why Bright Light Makes Some People Sneeze

    When I feel like sneezing and the sneeze "won't come out", I usually look at the sun or a very bright light to make it happen.

    K15 Ancestry of Uruguayans - Eurogenes K15

    Thank you Tomenable for posting data from my country. These are my Euro K 15 results. I'm taking this opportunity to ask you and the other forum members a question. A few days ago, I entered my G25 coordinates into Chat GPT , and the response I received surprised me. Knowing for some time that I...

    Economy The €5.5 Trillion Mistake? Is Germany’s Energy Policy an Economic Suicide Note?

    It is so sad to see how a country that rebuilt itself from the disasters of war is ruined by political mistakes. What were they thinking? That depending on gas supplied by a dictatorial regime with threatening military power was a good idea?

    Economy Free trade agreements between the EU and other countries are rising

    I completely agree with you, Duarte. In a way, it reminds me of things that happened during the Spanish viceroyalty in the 18th century. The current Argentine province of Mendoza has a climate similar to the Mediterranean region, and because of this, grapevines and olive trees began to be...

    Economy Free trade agreements between the EU and other countries are rising

    As a resident of another Mercosur member country, Uruguay, I have a slightly different view than Duarte's. Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world, ranks among the top 10 economies, and has 200 million inhabitants. It is a continent unto itself, self-centered (almost like the US), and...

    Question Ancestries of White Brazilians

    I agree with you, Duarte. Although Uruguay and Argentina have predominantly European origins, our people look different from those in southern Brazil. We have features more typical of southern Europe.

    Debate Why is it that so many Americans can't take criticism about the US and know so little about the rest of the world?

    I believe that knowing you belong to the richest and most powerful country in the world almost inevitably leads to a feeling of superiority. And therefore, little interest in what is outside. I can understand it in ordinary people, but I don't understand it in people with higher education.I...

    Question Ancestries of White Brazilians

    While the Portuguese component is the oldest and most widespread, millions of Europeans of other origins settled in Brazil. This is most noticeable in the southern states, those closest to my country, Uruguay. In Santa Catarina, for example, the German presence is striking. I once went to the...

    Germanization of Silesia, Pomerania, Prussia, Neumark: migration or ethnic conversion

    I seem to see common points with the Spanish and Portuguese colonization in Latin America, where populations with little or no European genetic contribution adopted the language and customs of the Iberians. And I also seem to remember that you published a long time ago a testimony from...

    MyHeritageDNA Share your MyHeritage DNA Ethnicity Estimates

    In fact, they have some groups for the Americas. The wrong ones. Look at my results, for example. As I said, I'm 19% Native American. But I'm Uruguayan, from southern South America. The most logical thing is that I have ancestors from that area, who mixed with the Spanish and Portuguese...

    MyHeritageDNA Share your MyHeritage DNA Ethnicity Estimates

    For those of us who are mixed, MyHeritage is getting worse and worse. All the calculators say I'm 78% European, 19% Native American, and 3% Sub-Saharan African. But now MyHeritage adds mixed populations that only create more confusion and, in my case, represent 28.4%. Furthermore, those...

    Many years ago I read about the theory of the origin of mitochondria... which may explain their different DNA from cellular DNA.

    History Which era was your ethnic group or nation formed in?

    Both my ethnic group and my nation were formed in 19th century. Present-day Uruguay, which was part of the Spanish Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata, attempted to form a confederation with other provinces ( present-day Argentina) but was invaded by the Portuguese and integrated into Brazil The war...

    GEDMatch Latin American GEDmatch averages vs. data from academic studies

    Excellent work!. There's one thing to keep in mind: in Latin America, people's origins are often linked to their social group membership. Generally speaking (there are exceptions, of course), the more European they are, the higher is their position on the social scale . Genetic testing is...

    GEDMatch Argentinians are not as white as they think

    But of course, there are still people who are 100% European. At least in my generation (those born in the 1960s), there are still people with European parents: I have three colleagues at work, one of whom had Neapolitan parents, and the other two had Galician parents. And it's fair to assume...

    GEDMatch Argentinians are not as white as they think

    Here in Argentina and Uruguay, a process similar to that of the rest of Latin America took place: the population during colonial times was formed by a mixture of Iberians, Natives and African slaves . However, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, they received a significant wave of...
