"...Reich’s team plus Russian researchers, recount how about 7,000 years ago the Caucasus-Lower Volga people from somewhere between the Caucasus Mountains, the Caspian Sea, and, roughly, Stalingrad..."
I thought "Stalingrad" was rebranded back to its traditional name of Volgograd. Kinda like Fort (Braxton) Bragg was reinvented as "Fort Liberty" and now has been re-reinvented as Fort (Roland) Bragg.
I'm getting too old to keep up with this s**...er, stuff.
Actually, it was Tsaritsin before it was Stalingrad. After Stalin passed away, CPSU didn't want Stalin, but didn't wan't a reference to Tsar either, so chose a third name. For the river on which the city stands...

President John Quincy Adams: “Masonry ought forever to be abolished. It is wrong - essentially wrong - a seed of evil, which can never produce any good.”
Human nature will not change so a world sans war and empire building is a fantasy.
Fauci is wrong. Early in the pandemic there was a contact tracing study in Taiwan of the first 100 known cases. This was the scientific basis for the 6 foot rule and was pretty convincing. The contacts they followed up on were limited to people who had been within 6 feet of the case patient for at least ten minutes. With that restriction almost all the transmission was at home or in medical facilities. It was something like one transmission out of a 1000+ contacts outside those too. So pretty convincing.
That doesn't sound convincing at all. Even if the distance/time date were accurately collected in the first place (hard to imagine), it could presumably support a five foot, three foot, seven foot rule. It's just common sense to stand back as far as you can from someone with an airborne virus infection.
It's tedious to relitigate the Covid debacle at this point, but I just have to point out that one aspect of that psy-op was the preposterous double standard for evidence and studies. Fauci would make policy based on some observational study of 500 people in Taiwan. But if the other side cited an observational study of thousands of people in Brazil taking Ivermectin or whatever, Team Covid would say it was inadmissible "junk science" because it wasn't a peer reviewed, double-blind, "gold standard" study in a major journal.
I think you are purposefully misunderstanding and trying to refute this general rule by acting as if exactly six feet is magic. There is nothing special about six feet aside from the fact that it was selected in a very good prospective observational study. Why? Presumably it's a lot easier for a person to answer the question 'do you think you were within 2 meters of that person?' than 'how many centimeter from that person were you standing?'. Likewise the ten minute rule would be an arbitrary mark to help divide contacts from non contacts.
If you thought that Fauci was telling you that 6 feet was exact and magical then yes you believed something incorrect and drew an incorrect conclusion.
The point is that this is highly convincing because if using the 2 meters for ten minutes rule the entire study managed to document 1 transmission out of a thousand plus at bats, you'd feel comfortable saying those distances and times as recommendations to the average population. that's how public health and public health recommendations to the vast sea of average schmoes works
All one need remember about the Covid pandemic is that our nation’s government and public health luminaries had no problem with large public gatherings as long as black lives matter banners were displayed.
Funny, autocorrect insisted that I capitalize black lives matter. I better get on the horn to someone about this.
I don’t know, I was just reacting to Steve’s observation that the Dnieper would make a sensible natural border for the Ukraine. I don’t think the Ukrainians would be happy with a border that runs through Kiev.
Navigable rivers don't make good political borders because people normally wind up the same on both sides since transport is so easy. But they can make make good military borders.
It's not a "natural border," that's just what people think when they want to write articles to excite American rubes who think war movies reflect reality. Rivers are mostly economic pathways, not borders. It's laughable to think modern militaries can't cross borders. Or, you know, just a thought, simply move around them.
In a 2006 article (full of praise -- that was then), NYT reporter Ingfei Chen wrote,
"[Patterson] was born in London in 1947. When he was 2 his Irish parents learned that he had a congenital bone disease that distorted the left side of his skull; his left eye is blind. He became a child chess prodigy who earned top scores on math exams, and later attended Cambridge, completing a math doctorate in finite group theory. In 1969, he won the Irish chess championship."
what kind of Irish? Anglo-Irish or Irishmen at a fair Irish?
"Had I been blind, I could have been certain that these islanders were not Malays. The loud, rapid, eager tones, the incessant motion, the intense vital activity manifested in speech and action, are the very antipodes of the quiet, unimpulsive, unanimated Malay … School-boys on an unexpected holiday, Irishmen at a fair, or midshipmen on shore, would give but a faint idea of the exuberant animal enjoyment of these people"
“the West Eurasian linguistic culture that in 1491 sprawled from Iceland to Bengal. “
Culture and language overlap but not fully. Hungarians, Finns, and Basques do not speak an IE language but are culturally similar to their neighbours.
OTOH South Asia is (largely) IE-speaking but is culturally pretty different from what is west of the Indus River. I think this was true even before Islam.
Not A war but many small ones. The brainier ones escaped and married their cousins. Scott didn't tell us who married Rebecca in Ivanhoe, as I recall, just that she fled to Spain with her father (oops).
You should at least watch young Elizabeth Taylor as Rebecca. I read several Scott novels in my 20-30s, then in my 50s, bought a used Rob Roy and couldn't get going in it. Some 19th cent. and Edwardian writers are better in short stories.
My oops referred to the Spanish Inquisition. Bet you didn't expect that.
One of my favorite gags, calling spoiler alert on ancient stuff. I was once talking to a forensic pathologist and relevant to the case he mentioned how at the end of 'Anna Karenina' she killed herself by putting her head on a train track. I said 'Hey, I was gonna read that!'
You'd think a forensic pathologist would have a better sense for humor. Ah well, they can't all be gold!
I found "Ivanhoe" a difficult read. Turgid prose. But the Robert Taylor, Elizabeth Taylor, Joan Fontaine film was a lot of fun, not a great film, but well worth your two hours.
DNA research says the whole Ashkenazi population bottlenecked down to just 500-ish descendants in the Middle Ages. When you get that low it could even be luck of the draw, i.e., it just happened that a handful of those 500 were extra-smart.
Not sure why the population crashed. I've heard people say it was pogroms/expulsions/forced assimilation but I don't know if there is good historical evidence for that. One could imagine that the wealthiest urban courtier types were the most likely to be in the surviving 500. And then that seed got transplanted to the fertile ground of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth where they flourished and repopulated exponentially as the middle-man class for the nobles ruling that region.
I just hope this isn't another version of the Ukrainan myths (authored on behalf of CIA and MI6) that everything done well in the Russian Empire was done by Ukrainians, who are the trud Europeans descended from Vikings, and everything done badly is done by the Slavs of Russia who are actually Asians (along with the Slavs of Europe).
On re-readng - FXXX it is. So out of the Bandera Nazis of WW2 who killed Jews and Poles in cooperation with the Germans, the myths have been spun deeper and deeper. Ukraine really is the heart of all world development despite not even having a proper name (means border land) and a language which is a dialect of both Russian and Polish.
I guess now that Trump has left Ukraine to the UK to sort out, the plan is back to the Gehlen/CIA 1950s idea of supporting the nazi trouble makers to make running Ukraine difficult for next 70 years. What no one has realised is that Russia will cut off W Ukraine from any direct support and all the budding Nazis will all be roaming Britain. Does that remind Amercians of anything?
The genetic core of Northwest European Man, as we've known it since the Iron Age, is the historical blending of these two groups. There are more R1b male-lines, but more female-line contribution from lines associated with the Paleolithic and Neolithic stocks balances it out somewhat.
England is as much as two-thirds R1b alone. Adding in the other elements of the core story of Western Man (R1b+R1a+I1+I2), it rises to 92%+ The remainder (8%) is the aggregated y-dna-line impact of all the various lesser waves since the Neolithic, arrivals here and there by seafarers, traders, merchants, or those associated with early farming but who never had much of a core genetic impact.
As a rule, when the R1b+R1a+I lines of a place/population/culture drop to levels where at a glance they're not the dominant element, you're no longer in a European society.
(Some limited exceptions can be made, one easy one being the inclusion of the 'N' y-line-dominant populations within Europe (excluding Russia) today. The Finnic-Baltic element has its own ancient story-line in northeastern Europe. Their core-Europeanization is due to centuries, even millennia, of contact with the R1b-led elements, the 'Kulturtraeger' judged on weight of evidence [language, not the least].)
[R1b+R1a+I among certain peripherally-European groups]
- Armenians: 39.5%
- Georgians: 21%
- Turkey: 29%
- Ashkenazi Jews: 23%
- Greek Cypriots: 18%
- Saami-speakers in northern Scandinavia: ca. 47% (lots of admixture; there may be said to be no more pure-Saami, formerly known as Lapps; ca. 53% N [see above on Finnic/Siberian element] and <1% Other.)
You seem to know all about this. Razib wrote about haplogroups R1a, R1b, I1 and I2in March last year but I don't think I understand it. I1 is supposed to be characteristic of Germanic peoples who acquired it from mixing with the surviving Scandinavian hunter gatherers and the variants conform to a "star phylogeny".
Are the I1 variants new mutations which arose among the proto-Germanic population or did they already exist? And where have they been found in ancient DNA? It would interest me greatly if genetic variants in Germanic ancestors could be matched to different groups speaking different descendants of proto-Germanic. Though we do not have writing in Germanic languages from classical antiquity, there is a large corpus dating to the early middle ages in many different regional dialects distinguished by their phonology.
There are only a few y-dna lines that are extremely highly characteristic of specific, existing ethnocultural populations. The story of these y-dna groups "(haplogroups") is more about trends and the meta-story of Europe since the Ice Age and can bog down if desiring to make it too specific.
One central problem with asking specific questions about origin-points for specific y-lines is uncertainty about how to date them and where to assign the relevant locality for the "origin," and what that is supposed to mean. Where did the first man have the "I1" y-dna-line mutation? Does this matter? It matters a lot more than distant-descendants of that man eventually produced an ethnogenesis and later merged with other groups to produce stable population-stocks, which have been characteristic of Europe for millennia.
Another problem with terms like "Scandinavian hunter-gatherers": What do we mean? We may mean people present in or near Scandinavia at x point in pre-history, or we may mean an ancestral-stock which is supposed to be associated with the Scandinavians of the historical period (and today) but which may not be present in Scandinavia geographically at x point.
There is a dynamic map where you can search for sites of discovery of ancient y-dna lines, displayed as colored dots on an overlay of Google Maps in Europe. You can adjust for specific time periods and specific haplogroups. For example, you want to see where "I1" has been found between 5000 BC and 2000 BC. You adjust the relevant sliders and all other dots disappear except those fitting those criteria. Unfortunately the site was pretty buggy when I tried it.
There was a time when diplomatic tact would have changed much of that speech to a more friendly (non-offensive) posture while not necessarily changing the core message. The speech seemed to me to be deliberately built to provoke, as if he were grandstanding before a conference of enemies and not friends.
Off topic yes, but those of us who are interested in Yamnayans and Indo-Hittite have had our say on Razib Khan's Unsupervised Learning.
I liked every word of this speech from "thanks to all the gathered delegates, luminaries, and media professionals" through "I say this with all humor", follewed by a funny pointed remark, to "Pope John Paul II". I think I like JD Vance. Addressing the assembled political classes of Europe, he made it plain how little claim they have to speak for the people they represent and that he knows it. And he cleverly avoided the trap which I see President Trump falling into of identifying a country (Canada, say) or a continent (Europe, say) with its elite, so enabling left-liberal globalists to posture as the defenders of national sovereignty.
If I had been there I would have been sniggering with glee. Populism all round please.
The name "Yamnaya" sounds very foreign to my ears
> Its name derives from its characteristic burial tradition: Я́мная (romanization: yamnaya) is a Russian adjective that means 'related to pits (yama)', as these people used to bury their dead in tumuli (kurgans) containing simple pit chambers
"Kurgans" sound better
Marija Gimbutas sounds pretty good:

"Kurgans" sounds very sturdy and masculine--like a tribe. Like the Kurds. But I think it's just Turkish for "mound." The mound-burials.

Fauci is wrong. Early in the pandemic there was a contact tracing study in Taiwan of the first 100 known cases. This was the scientific basis for the 6 foot rule and was pretty convincing. The contacts they followed up on were limited to people who had been within 6 feet of the case patient for at least ten minutes. With that restriction almost all the transmission was at home or in medical facilities. It was something like one transmission out of a 1000+ contacts outside those too. So pretty convincing.

I don’t know, I was just reacting to Steve’s observation that the Dnieper would make a sensible natural border for the Ukraine. I don’t think the Ukrainians would be happy with a border that runs through Kiev.
Navigable rivers don't make good political borders because people normally wind up the same on both sides since transport is so easy. But they can make make good military borders.
It's not a "natural border," that's just what people think when they want to write articles to excite American rubes who think war movies reflect reality. Rivers are mostly economic pathways, not borders. It's laughable to think modern militaries can't cross borders. Or, you know, just a thought, simply move around them.
The Russians fought hard in early 2022 to get west of the Dnieper and the Ukrainians fought hard in later 2022 to kick them back over the Dnieper.
Patterson in an adult lifetime has excelled in three separate fields: cryptography, quantitative finance, and computational genomics.
He visibly has an incredibly large cranial capacity. You’d struggle to convince me this wasn’t connected to his mental abilities.
In a 2006 article (full of praise -- that was then), NYT reporter Ingfei Chen wrote,
"[Patterson] was born in London in 1947. When he was 2 his Irish parents learned that he had a congenital bone disease that distorted the left side of his skull; his left eye is blind. He became a child chess prodigy who earned top scores on math exams, and later attended Cambridge, completing a math doctorate in finite group theory. In 1969, he won the Irish chess championship."
what kind of Irish? Anglo-Irish or Irishmen at a fair Irish?
"Had I been blind, I could have been certain that these islanders were not Malays. The loud, rapid, eager tones, the incessant motion, the intense vital activity manifested in speech and action, are the very antipodes of the quiet, unimpulsive, unanimated Malay … School-boys on an unexpected holiday, Irishmen at a fair, or midshipmen on shore, would give but a faint idea of the exuberant animal enjoyment of these people"
-AR Wallace on Papuans
With a name like Patterson most likely a Presbyterian.
“the West Eurasian linguistic culture that in 1491 sprawled from Iceland to Bengal. “
Culture and language overlap but not fully. Hungarians, Finns, and Basques do not speak an IE language but are culturally similar to their neighbours.
OTOH South Asia is (largely) IE-speaking but is culturally pretty different from what is west of the Indus River. I think this was true even before Islam.
Estonian not an IE language either, it’s similar to Finnish.
Perhaps some defeats are highly eugenic cullings of the herd. Could that explain Ashkenazi IQ?
You propose that at some point the Ashkenazi lost a war and their conquerors killed all the dull-wits?
Not A war but many small ones. The brainier ones escaped and married their cousins. Scott didn't tell us who married Rebecca in Ivanhoe, as I recall, just that she fled to Spain with her father (oops).
Thanks for the spoiler! We somehow never got around to Ivanhoe in HS English and I've been trying to get through it for the past decade!
I'm mostly kidding. Gave up on that turgid, romanticized prose three years ago and left it at the local library.
You should at least watch young Elizabeth Taylor as Rebecca. I read several Scott novels in my 20-30s, then in my 50s, bought a used Rob Roy and couldn't get going in it. Some 19th cent. and Edwardian writers are better in short stories.
My oops referred to the Spanish Inquisition. Bet you didn't expect that.
haha- actually depending on the time period they might have just been obligated to move again.
Funny how old writing styles make it difficult to enjoy a story.
Ivanhoe is set in 1194, and Edward I expelled the Jews of England in 1290. Wikipedia doesn't say, but I guess they were Sephardic.
Today, Althouse quoted part of an Emerson speech to Harvard PhiBK in 1832. Difficult enough to read, impossible to digest aurally.
One of my favorite gags, calling spoiler alert on ancient stuff. I was once talking to a forensic pathologist and relevant to the case he mentioned how at the end of 'Anna Karenina' she killed herself by putting her head on a train track. I said 'Hey, I was gonna read that!'
You'd think a forensic pathologist would have a better sense for humor. Ah well, they can't all be gold!
I found "Ivanhoe" a difficult read. Turgid prose. But the Robert Taylor, Elizabeth Taylor, Joan Fontaine film was a lot of fun, not a great film, but well worth your two hours.
I don't recall any wars that Ashkenazi jews were involved in fighting (other that finance and supply chain stuff).
DNA research says the whole Ashkenazi population bottlenecked down to just 500-ish descendants in the Middle Ages. When you get that low it could even be luck of the draw, i.e., it just happened that a handful of those 500 were extra-smart.
Not sure why the population crashed. I've heard people say it was pogroms/expulsions/forced assimilation but I don't know if there is good historical evidence for that. One could imagine that the wealthiest urban courtier types were the most likely to be in the surviving 500. And then that seed got transplanted to the fertile ground of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth where they flourished and repopulated exponentially as the middle-man class for the nobles ruling that region.
Funny how Mary, Queen of Scots, might be distantly related to Rishi Sunak. Their common ancestors may have been the Yamnaya.
I just hope this isn't another version of the Ukrainan myths (authored on behalf of CIA and MI6) that everything done well in the Russian Empire was done by Ukrainians, who are the trud Europeans descended from Vikings, and everything done badly is done by the Slavs of Russia who are actually Asians (along with the Slavs of Europe).
On re-readng - FXXX it is. So out of the Bandera Nazis of WW2 who killed Jews and Poles in cooperation with the Germans, the myths have been spun deeper and deeper. Ukraine really is the heart of all world development despite not even having a proper name (means border land) and a language which is a dialect of both Russian and Polish.
I guess now that Trump has left Ukraine to the UK to sort out, the plan is back to the Gehlen/CIA 1950s idea of supporting the nazi trouble makers to make running Ukraine difficult for next 70 years. What no one has realised is that Russia will cut off W Ukraine from any direct support and all the budding Nazis will all be roaming Britain. Does that remind Amercians of anything?
Harvard Gazette: "With larger herds and superior mobility, the Yamnaya started exporting their economy — and their language — about 5,000 years ago."
Exporting, LOL, that's one way to put it. I'm not so sure that the exportees would have agreed with that anodyne turn of phrase.
The exports will continue until morale improves
Stalingrad? I guess very few people in the West call it Volgograd.
It’s a bit like the Gulf of America.
Or Tsaritsyn
Razib Khan has an excellent writeups of this research on this at his site:
https://www.razibkhan.com/
So after all this, 'Caucasian' as a term for white people might actually make sense?
Proto-Indo-European male y-dna lines: R1b and R1a.
Old-European Paleolithic survival stock y-lines: I1, I2.
The genetic core of Northwest European Man, as we've known it since the Iron Age, is the historical blending of these two groups. There are more R1b male-lines, but more female-line contribution from lines associated with the Paleolithic and Neolithic stocks balances it out somewhat.
England is as much as two-thirds R1b alone. Adding in the other elements of the core story of Western Man (R1b+R1a+I1+I2), it rises to 92%+ The remainder (8%) is the aggregated y-dna-line impact of all the various lesser waves since the Neolithic, arrivals here and there by seafarers, traders, merchants, or those associated with early farming but who never had much of a core genetic impact.
As a rule, when the R1b+R1a+I lines of a place/population/culture drop to levels where at a glance they're not the dominant element, you're no longer in a European society.
(Some limited exceptions can be made, one easy one being the inclusion of the 'N' y-line-dominant populations within Europe (excluding Russia) today. The Finnic-Baltic element has its own ancient story-line in northeastern Europe. Their core-Europeanization is due to centuries, even millennia, of contact with the R1b-led elements, the 'Kulturtraeger' judged on weight of evidence [language, not the least].)
[R1b+R1a+I among certain peripherally-European groups]
- Armenians: 39.5%
- Georgians: 21%
- Turkey: 29%
- Ashkenazi Jews: 23%
- Greek Cypriots: 18%
- Saami-speakers in northern Scandinavia: ca. 47% (lots of admixture; there may be said to be no more pure-Saami, formerly known as Lapps; ca. 53% N [see above on Finnic/Siberian element] and <1% Other.)
See: https://www.eupedia.com/europe/european_y-dna_haplogroups.shtml
You seem to know all about this. Razib wrote about haplogroups R1a, R1b, I1 and I2in March last year but I don't think I understand it. I1 is supposed to be characteristic of Germanic peoples who acquired it from mixing with the surviving Scandinavian hunter gatherers and the variants conform to a "star phylogeny".
Are the I1 variants new mutations which arose among the proto-Germanic population or did they already exist? And where have they been found in ancient DNA? It would interest me greatly if genetic variants in Germanic ancestors could be matched to different groups speaking different descendants of proto-Germanic. Though we do not have writing in Germanic languages from classical antiquity, there is a large corpus dating to the early middle ages in many different regional dialects distinguished by their phonology.
There are only a few y-dna lines that are extremely highly characteristic of specific, existing ethnocultural populations. The story of these y-dna groups "(haplogroups") is more about trends and the meta-story of Europe since the Ice Age and can bog down if desiring to make it too specific.
One central problem with asking specific questions about origin-points for specific y-lines is uncertainty about how to date them and where to assign the relevant locality for the "origin," and what that is supposed to mean. Where did the first man have the "I1" y-dna-line mutation? Does this matter? It matters a lot more than distant-descendants of that man eventually produced an ethnogenesis and later merged with other groups to produce stable population-stocks, which have been characteristic of Europe for millennia.
Another problem with terms like "Scandinavian hunter-gatherers": What do we mean? We may mean people present in or near Scandinavia at x point in pre-history, or we may mean an ancestral-stock which is supposed to be associated with the Scandinavians of the historical period (and today) but which may not be present in Scandinavia geographically at x point.
There is a dynamic map where you can search for sites of discovery of ancient y-dna lines, displayed as colored dots on an overlay of Google Maps in Europe. You can adjust for specific time periods and specific haplogroups. For example, you want to see where "I1" has been found between 5000 BC and 2000 BC. You adjust the relevant sliders and all other dots disappear except those fitting those criteria. Unfortunately the site was pretty buggy when I tried it.
Off-topic: Vance's Munich speech is outstanding. Never thought I'd hear an American politician say these things.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2025/02/14/full_speech_vice_president_jd_vance_addresses_munich_security_conference.html
You don't think it was too antagonistic towards friends?
Hmm, good question... I think that part of being a friend is being able to speak frankly.
There was a time when diplomatic tact would have changed much of that speech to a more friendly (non-offensive) posture while not necessarily changing the core message. The speech seemed to me to be deliberately built to provoke, as if he were grandstanding before a conference of enemies and not friends.
Off topic yes, but those of us who are interested in Yamnayans and Indo-Hittite have had our say on Razib Khan's Unsupervised Learning.
I liked every word of this speech from "thanks to all the gathered delegates, luminaries, and media professionals" through "I say this with all humor", follewed by a funny pointed remark, to "Pope John Paul II". I think I like JD Vance. Addressing the assembled political classes of Europe, he made it plain how little claim they have to speak for the people they represent and that he knows it. And he cleverly avoided the trap which I see President Trump falling into of identifying a country (Canada, say) or a continent (Europe, say) with its elite, so enabling left-liberal globalists to posture as the defenders of national sovereignty.
If I had been there I would have been sniggering with glee. Populism all round please.
