I have no idea who this person is and I just realized if you had said simply "literally" instead of "quite literally" I would have assumed you were using literally rhetorically.

can someone explain this map?
the way I see things, haplogroup I (I1 & I2) represent the old mesolithic hunter-gatherers of Europe
as we got neolithic haplogroups, these old ones were pushed back
so it makes sense that I is higher in Scandinavia, and it grows less common from there
but why is Bosnia so high in it?
allow me
>>874991
during the neolithic revolution, indo-europeans pushed in from the east while meds pushed from the south west, the changes were drastic like the displacement of hunter gatherer native americans
the nuragics, hamangia (balkans) and Cucuteni Trypillian culture remained uncucked as they adopted agriculture rapidly through trade and resisted migrations
then later the nords migrated into Germany and north western europe
How would I be able to publish a peer reviewed scholarly work without a degree? Would several experts have to review my work or something?

You can't circle jerk unless you're in the circle jerk. That's the way circle jerks operate.
>>874424
You could probably try but you'd have a hard time and I'm not sure how you'd do it. There used to be a lot of "open" peer-reviewed journals that would allow anyone to publish as long as it was decent enough. But as usual, people in the natural sciences couldn't handle this kind of democracy and in their autistic rage decided to fuck the whole concept of open journals after what's known as the Sokal affair.
I mean to publish works on history btw

Anyone here read this book?
It's pretty useful for shutting Muslim apologists and SJWs the fuck up.
Written by a Spaniard so there's some obvious bias there, but for the most part I found it to be a factual look at the atrocities that the Muslims carried out in Iberia, and helps illustrate why the Christian Reconquest was not only tame in comparison, but was well deserved.

So you only use one source to bolster your arguments? Okay kiddo, don't forget to come back and tell us what you thought of Guns, Germs and Steel next
>>874182
>one
Any source has sources of its own.
>>874065
>It's pretty useful for shutting Muslim apologists and SJWs the fuck up.
Which means it's probably filled with gross exaggerations and stating things everybody already knew but had already contextualized far better and you just like it because it spoon feeds you shit you already believed were true before you even read it.
Hey anyone from Ireland or have good knowledge on Irish myths know what this symbol is?

I have this idea for the power of ridicule (from satire and grotesque to plain ol' ad hominem)...
Basically my point is that ridiculing an idea, and even a person (which, again, includes insults like "you're an idiot") is an adequate way of accomplishing the following goals:
1. The other party will be discouraged from expressing their ideas in front of you
2. The other party will become ashamed from their ideas
3. You will form a stronger bond with the people who, like you, disagree with the other party
Which in turn is very likely to have the following negative side effects:
1. The other party will hate you and might retaliate or become depressed
2. The other party could feel like a martyr and grow an even stronger bond with their ideas
3. Kindhearted observers may defend the other party and through their sympathy for the person create an illusion for being sympathetic to their ideas as well
Is there any scientific work on the subject? Any papers or something?
Can we ever say that ridiculing or insulting somebody is the "right way to go"? When is it helpful to society to ridicule people? When (if ever) is it helpful for the people being ridiculed?
>>873841
Didn't read a word of this
>>873841
I don't disagree, but ridicule can lead to self-betterment.

Use the Jews as cannon fodder instead of sending them to death camps.
Kill Mussolini and install more competent puppets. Sell the Italian and French colonies to the Brits for a non aggression treaty. Lock down Europe. Organize and communicate with Japan. Convince them not to attack the US. Wait until the middle of Spring. Kill the Commies with no distractions and a few million "undesirable" waves. Meet the Japanese advancing from the East, exterminate all Slavs. Split Asia and Africa with the Japs and Brits.
The world is now free to exterminate the last threat to civilization; Islam.

So I've been watching some Weimar film and reading a little bit of Kracauer, a Frankfurt school film critic active during the Weimar years, and it absolutely fascinates me. I took two classes as an undergrad on the era, and I'm taking a seminar on Weimar culture next semester.
Why do people pay so very little attention the era, with its democratic and social freedoms combined with vibrant pluralistic politics? It has everything: sex, violence, mass-culture, beautiful writing, fascinating philosophy, sublime film. Is the proximity of the Weimar period to such significant events overshadowing its own importance? Would the whole narrative of German "national character" contributing to the Holocaust have emerged if postwar historians had focussed on Weimar urban life?
Post ITT about all this stuff.

I think it was too much of a shock to the German people. They should have been eased into liberal democracy, not just thrown into in chaos
>>872655
>why do people pay so very little attention the era, with its democratic and social freedoms combined with vibrant pluralistic politics?
Cause Nazi elites were still in charge and paved the way for the 3rd Reich.
Also the golden era you are referring too didn't start before 1923 and didn't last longer then then 1929. +the vibrant culture you described was and sometimes still is perceived as a sign superficiality, degeneracy and Americanization.

I'm not so sure he was right about pikes

I think he was being sarcastic.
Personally I think many of his theories are pretty cool, even though we will probably never be able to check them. It's entertaining and a nice exercise as far as experimental archaeology goes.
>>872345
a mail coif would be super fucking uncomfortable, that's just common sense so of course it needed padding
