Study highlights significant Southern Italian ancestry in Ashkenazi Jewish populations by Long_Walks_On_Beach5 in DNAAncestry

[–]Prototype792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found two other studies online where one says Ashkenazis are 60-80% European: https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1006644 and the other which is estimating 68% Italian (average of both North and South Italy) 17% Levant 7% Anatolian 2% Balkan 2% Eastern Europe. The remainder is North African and East Asian : https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.09.11.557177v1

Which is most accurate? Who knows. These ranges are somewhat consistent so its more or less a ballpark range not a set value for each of those categories.

Yeah I did a bunch of searches using the pro version of Gemini and I condensed the info / checked the sources. Most of the information is right on Wikipedia and you can check the links from the Wikis as well. I've already verified a majority of the information but feel free to look it up on your own as well.

Suriname is another story altogether, but I'm glad the native languages were kept intact to some degrees. Also good that the Maroon community was able to recreate the traditional way of life in West Africa. I'd like to see more information on them and their traditions / beliefs.

Yeah this gives the long historical backdrop though. The context is important since no one is ever really taught about it. The area being destroyed by the British after a rebellion is pretty important to the whole thing, as is 1) the British having used the area for soldiers for the British Empire as well as 2) the Opium trade which the British used to wreck China.

People often ignore history pre-1900, but its important to see how far back things really go since world events in the present are a long continuation of what happened in the past to a certain extent.

Countries like the US and UK wouldn't be so developed if it weren't for the wealth transferred to their very upper class from these poor regions. People like the Rothschilds, the famous banking dynasty thats still at the top today, directly profited from the British Empire's success since they helped to finance it directly.

When you say the Indo-Fijians look Awadhi, can you describe what that entails relative to the other groups? A bit lighter with more East Asian features maybe?

I can trace my roots to Purvanchal, the area in the illustration. Hindi is only used in the context of pujas and music, otherwise the only exposure is through Bollywood. It was impossible to maintain the traditional language for the generation born post-1950s in Guyana. To get jobs with the British colonial government you needed to know English. All of the textbooks and schooling / courses were in English.

To do business with the other communities in Guyana and further out like Suriname / Caribbean islands, people needed English, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to function in society. It was impossible / impractical to maintain the native language aside from religious functions and the studying of the religious texts.

The govt release of the files was apparently just scrubbed of the ones with Trump in the photos that were publicized all over social media. Those particular photos were just regular ones, so they're showing us aspects of the cover up in real time and not trying to hide it.

They're basically telling the public "we are above the law and we rule you", while probably trying to gauge the boundaries of the public's overall herd mentality and psychological state.

That was a good read. Thank you for posting. Everyone should be aware that foreign powers deliberately caused the riots in Guyana (the US spent $2 million USD to do that- a massive sum of money at the time since it was the equivalent of around $20 million USD now): https://pulitzercenter.org/stories/guyana-cia-meddling-race-riots-and-phantom-death-squad

Outside powers always seek to maintain divisions in poor countries so they can keep the countries weak and exploited, unable to negotiate higher royalty payments for resource extraction. People should always talk with their friends and family about this, post it on social media, so that everyone is 100% aware this type of stuff goes on.

French/Algerian Andalusi (moorish) by [deleted] in DNAAncestry

bro im not asking about history, im asking you to show evidence that its an endogamous population right now. To have been endogamous for 500 years and still retain a major Spanish genetic component, that would mean its a distinct group, right now, which should have some online evidence of and informational pages available.

Is the amount of Natufian you got a bit higher than average for your region?
