Tell me about the light eyes gene /his/.
How in less than 10,000 years was this one mutation able to spread and survive from Eastern Europe all the way to Western China, Northwest Africa, and even South Asia? Was there some sort of selective breeding involving eye color that we were never familiar with?

The Buddha was even said to have had blue eyes
Light eyed people cucked everyone else.
Also green eyes are better than blue eyes.

The picture where it says "Early Christianity"... pretty sweet.
Even with all the different denominations they all hold a very similar message though the persecution amongst eachother.
Miaphysite formula was approved in the fifth Ecumenical Council.
A non-denomination Christian would be an Orthodox Christian. Those who commonly describe themselves as non-denominational are baptists though who just use the term to give legitimacy to their theology.
>>1363387
What if there was no label and no seperation.
There is no one true denomination because the Body of Christ is not actually divided.
>>1363393
Right, Christ founded the Orthodox Church, not 10,000 denominations. The Church is only called Orthodox because of the countless heterodox denominations that sprouted up.
Was the Greek, Assyrian and Armenian genocide really necessary in order to create the modern state of Turkey?
Also why does everyone nit-pick Turkey? Is it because the genocide is still recent in everyone's minds?
Because Turkey keeps on genociding.
Most places that have genocides get fucked up by it and end up not doing it again.
>>1362594
because they deny it. I don't hold anyone in Turkey today responsible but it is really god damn slimey to deny it was a genocide
>Also why does everyone nit-pick Turkey?
Because most civilized countries admit what they did and apologize for it. Turkey just keeps on denying historical facts like the bunch of backward baboons that they are.

How come the Balkans' history has been such a massive shit show?
>>1356814
Its between the Turkics, Arabs, Europeans, Mongols and every other moving shitstorm.
>>1356832
The Persians, Romans, Russians...practically everyone.
>>1356814
Its only been a shit show recently.
It was great during thracian times.
It was great during greek times.
It was great during roman times.
It was great during byzantine times.
It was great during ottoman times.
It went to shit when the ottomans stuck around too long and denied the Balkans access to enlightenment, renaissance, colonization, industrialization, nationalism, etc new cultural movements.
Is this true?
Is the Caucasus mountain region the original homeland of 'whites' /his/?
>>1355773
1. No
2. There is no such thing as "whites". Japanese people have white skin, but they aren't caucasoid, Spanish people are caucasoid but they are often brown. The original homeland of Europeans, if thats what you mean, is Europe, and the Eurasian steppe.
>>1355777
Good answer
>>1355773
The original homeland of South Europeans is Western Anatolia

When did this happen? Why? They weren't under communist rule, so we can't blame commieblocks etc on that.

There's a multitude of cozy non-skyscraper European cities throughout the continent, this isn't one of them. This is genuinely terrible
Civil war, followed by civil strife and military rule.
Now they're corrupt as fuck.
To be fair, nobody in Southern Europe is competent, it's just that Italy and Spain are closer to people who are.

read a fucking book, asshole. You think after more than 1000 years, Athens is still going to be as relevant as it once was? It never recovered from the Peloponnesian War, let alone every other social crisis that befell it in the centuries to come.
Why is it that Japan was the only country in history which was able to self-industrialize and compete with the Western powers? It always dumbfounded me, because I have never seen a good explanation. China was historically the economic and technological superpower of the East, but then Japan comes out of nowhere, overtakes it, and beats it up.
Why is it that they were the only ones ever successful at Westernization?

In the 17th and 18th centuries, how did Europe's firearm industry compare to gun manufacture in the Middle East and Asia?
>>1365177
The best guns were made in Japan, but after Nobunaga died, Japan turned inwards and banned the technology. Apart from the Japs, oriental gunmaking never really took off, the Chinks had gunpowder based weapons but nothing that could compare with even a simple musket, let alone the high quality flintlock / snaphaunce weapons being made by the 18th century.
>>1365185
>but after Nobunaga died,
You mean after Tokugawa took power.
>banned the technology
Never happened.
>>1365177
english and german guns were highly praised, but india churned out ammo and gunpowder so much they exported it to europe, and had the capacity to manufacture fucktons of artilery and firearms too
ottomans had specialised manufactures set up near border regions, and loads of gunsmiths in urban areas, but they were mostly best known for how decorative and exotic they are, not so much how well they stand up to european quality

I have a question for you guys, was it really common for soldiers in the Middle Ages to be kitted out in full plate? It seems like that would have been incredibly expensive and a lot of work to armor an entire army. Even chainmail took a very long time to make, right?
they could afford it. they were soldiers, not serfs.
I'm no expert, but full plate didn't come around until the late middle ages. Your armour equipment and training usually depended on your status in society. They didn't make armour for an entire army that a king would pay for. Arms and armour was owned by the soldiers themselves. Knights and aristocracy would have quality armour and training. Men-at-arms were non-aristocratic soldiers equipped with heavy armour just like knights would be, and could fight equally well on foot or on horseback. In England, the next rank down from the men-at-arms would be the archers.

Hello, I'm working on a small presentation about the French Revolution and have been looking on the Internet but I couldn't come up with a viable, unbiased source for an approximation about the number of victim during the 10 years span of France's most important historical event. Do we know exactly how many people died during the whole thing?
>>1364600
Nice dubs, but you are going to have to go into a bit more detail than that. Do you mean stuff like The fear and The terror or do you want more about the armies and such?
But remember at that time people were very polarized about the revolution and the rebuild. Finding something unbiased will be a bit tough.
Robie did nothing wrong.
The number of deaths is usually purported to be at least 40,000.
