Why did Indo-European languages replace virtually all the indigenous languages of Europe?
>>2724394
The beauty of it.
No really: these tribes came out of nowhere with a system of living not seen before by anyone in the region. Whether they willingly joined up with these newcomers or were slaughtered it did not matter. There were SO many of them who came. They had a lot of children too so their numbers swelled compared to everyone living in Europe at the time. It doesn't help that more waves of people descended from other Indo-Europeans moved into Europe after the initial wave.

Mobile pastoralists had an advantage in warfare compared to sedentary farmers. They might have also brought disease (the plague) with them, they likely were healthier due to their diet and the landscape of Europe appears already somewhat depopulated around that time.
Modern Europeans have around 20-50% ancestry from those steppe populations depending on location, so it's clear that the demographic impact was important too. It wasn't just a purely elite phenomenon but had significant populations moving around as well.

I love these threads, post some of your favorite pieces
I will dump what i've scavenged from here so far
Historically, why has there been such resistance to the Federal Reserve? How did it come into being, and why is it so controversial now?
People tend to assume anything that they don't understand is some kind of hostile conspiracy.
Economics is complicated.
Bankers hate it because it reigns them in and prevents them from completely jewing the populace in cycles every five to seven years.
Because the fed has done nothing but ruined the U.S. economy.

This. To perform the negrus feetus ceremony is the most radical act you can perform.
Why did they fought with Germans?
Were they legitime French government?
>>2723929
>Why did they fought with Germans?
They didn't, they were officially neutral. The only troops to fight with Germans were SS and Wehrmacht volunteers
>Were they legitimate French government?
Yes
>>2723929
for fuck sake...
>Why did they fought with Germans?
I'm not sure if you're trying to say that they fought against Germans or on the side of Germans, but both are incorrect. Vichy France was neutral.

So this... is the power of religion?

Facts shamelessly found on Reddit and I will not kill myself because of it.

4. Will Smith is now older than Uncle Phil was at the beginning of "The Fresh Prince."
9. France was still executing people by guillotine when Star Wars came out
14. When Warner Brothers formed, the Ottoman Empire was still a thing.
Teaching started in Oxford as early as 1096, and by 1249, the University was officially founded. The Aztec civilization as we know it began with the founding of Tenochtitlán in 1325

First the feathers, now this.
If Buddhists think that existence is suffering, why don't they just kill themselves? Is belief in reincarnation the only thing preventing them from doing so?
Pretty much
Buddhism is a silly religion like any other
They consider it wrong to be a nihilist or suicidal
Because suicides reincarnate in Naraka or come back to earth as an Albanian or something
>>2723429
but buddhists don't think existence is suffering
merely that existence is an illusion and that non-existence is preferable
You'll always exist because all minds are the same.
What's wrong with Population transfers?
You typically do them to people who don't want to move.
>>2723298
They're not typically well planned out. It's not like you can just cut and paste families and communities into new areas smoothly.
Nothing. Population transfers are exactly what's needed in Muslim countries today with sorting out Sunnis, Shias and so on.

Why it seems, that Vedic teachings, hindu ideas, yoga and other indian stuff is more popular, than chinese ideas expressed in confucianism and daosim?
