nnifer Raff, a University of Kansas assistant professor of anthropology, said mitochondrial and genomic data that scientists have recovered don't support such an early wave of migrants.
"That hypothesis is only held by a very tiny minority of the archaeological community, but nevertheless it gets a lot of attention from people who have a casual interest in American archaeology," said Raff, lead author of a recent article in the journal PaleoAmerica on the issue. "When we summarize the genetic results we have, we find nothing that's consistent with these hypothesized trans-Atlantic migrations."
Raff and co-author Deborah Bolnick, associate professor of anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin, published the article that evaluated these hypotheses in light of current genetic evidence from ancient and present-day Native Americans. They concluded that genetic data scientists have recovered to date only supports a migration from Siberia into the Americas and does not show evidence of earlier migrations from ancient Israelites or inhabitants of what is now Europe. Within the next month, the journal article will available to the public via open access, Raff said.
The genetic piece of one recent argument for a trans-Atlantic migration—known as the Solutrean hypothesis—contended that the presence of mitochondrial haplogroup X2a in Native American populations provided evidence for ancient gene flow from Europe or the Middle East into North America. The hypothesis suggested that the North American Clovis culture dated roughly 13,000 years ago was directly descended from the Solutrean culture of southwestern Europe dated roughly 23,000 years before present.
Eurocentrists btfo yet again
Only conspiracy theorists and other retards believed it anyway

>mitochondrial and genomic data
Yeah sure, like genocides have never happened.
Besides, genetics isn't even the core of the hypothesis here "debunked" by one man's academic opinion.

So ingins didn't cross to America from Asia? Where did they come from?
Hi. I am gathering material and inspiration for my fantasy novel.
Was there ever a religion that preached only selected few are real human beings created by God and the rest are in fact just soulless philosophical zombies crerated by Anti-God to decieve them?

Why did the Councils choose to permit marriage for their clerics, whereas the catholics did not? Could it be somehow related to Matthew 19:12?
Thank you
>>581579
> the Councils choose to permit marriage for their clerics
Did they? It was established tradition before Catholics decided to change it because Pope wanted more power over the Church. It's not about choosing differently, it's about keeping the tradition unchanged.

Wasn't there a papacy long before the Great Schism finalized?
Are the methods of Hegelian dialectics majorly prevalent in the current waters of global politics? Are there any blatant examples of it which you know of?

Iran was always 'Iran'. Just these stupid Europeans called them Persia
>>581424
the endonym for Iran IS Iran. Stemming from the word Aryan (not the nazi bullshit Aryan, true Aryans as in a specific tribe of Proto-Indo Europeans). Persia comes from what the Greeks called them, land of the Persians (or Parsa as they would have been called then). You should learn history before posting on /his/, newfriend.
My professor showed me these pictures today that he said proves Australians created civilization. What does /his/ think?

Why were the colonial powers so shit at creating nice, stable borders along ethno-cultural-linguistic, economical and religious lines EDITION.
>yfw multi-ethnic states in 2016
>le bad borders meme in 2016
Who /nationalist-decolonization/ here?
>tfw exploding Brits cry about "muh terrorism".
>>581287
In most places creating neat little nation states is impossible, as ethnic boundaries are not clear lines. There's usually a border zone where villages of two or more different ethnicities/cultures can be found. There'd always be people on the 'wrong' side of the line.
That said, there's plenty of nations with a plurality of ethnic/cultural groups who haven't failed - borders aren't nearly as much of a determining factor in stability as you might think.
Can someone tell me what are the club designs next to morningstar? And holy shit all of them look painful I would be more scared of them than swords.

According to Perkins, he began writing Confessions of an Economic Hit Man in the 1980s, but "threats or bribes always convinced [him] to stop."

Why the need for insults?
>>581223
He never claimed it was all fake, the book is semi-autobiographical, of course things were played up for dramatic tension and such.
Honestly his claims are pretty on the money for what actually did historically happen.
Idealists, say something nice about Materialism.
Materialists, say something nice about Idealism.
Idealism is true in the sense that we do only interact with mental objects in the sense that "I" thr ego is contained within the whole of the mind and informed by perceptions,which is nontrivial and interesting. But materialism simply has the causitive and explanatory power that idealism lacksh
Materialism is a good way to understand concrete principles of how the world works, but it lacks the idealism that needs to be present in a human being in order for them to be happy i.e. Being an idealist tickles youre brain in a certain way that it was meant to be tickled, on a very primal instinctual level

Thank goodness I'm neither of youse and use historical materialist praxes.

Why do the Vulgate and the Septuagint have "your breasts are better than wine" in Song of Songs 1:2, while Hebrew manuscripts and modern translations have "your love is better than wine"?
>>581122
Because the divine inspiration loves titties.
>>581122
Because you stuck your fist in my arsehole and my womb was opened for you.
Song of Songs is 100% anal hardcore.
I'm not joking.

>Subutai's Mongols
finnish hakkapeelita were famously brave and skilled
Naps cuirassiers
but in general skill i would say the knights. one on one they probably best any other unit in history
