  1. Well actually no, because it usually means unelected elite is replaced with real democracy

  2. Anglo-Saxons were also invaders originally. Plus it is a question whether English actually have more descent from Angles, Saxons and co than from Brittons
    35
  3. Well, weren't Saxons from Germany/Denmark too?
    25
  4. They literally shit on the monarchy
    24
  5. The throne which doesn't exist? Any claims to this non-existent "throne" are meaningless anyway.

  6. Actually the significance of Columbus stumbling upon the Caribbean islands is that it opened long-term continuous large-scale interaction between two hemispheres. So, yeah, it is still significant, even though he found it very late, after so many other groups of people, and by accident
    15
  7. 100% he was. The whole original story is about a Brittonic leader fighting against Saxons, anything else was added later

  8. Back to LUCA!

  9.  @o-o2399  no, he is a member of "blood diamonds" royal family 😆😆😆😆

  10. America = the Americas, btw. "America" in the name "United States of America" means that the country is located on American continent, so it is still a reference to the Americas

  11. Creationists stay mad

  12. It is channel about genealogy, so he talks about it. What is your problem?

  13. Because he "abolished" serfdom in a way that required peasants to pay their former owners for land for generations. Many still didn't finish paying in 1905 when the payments were abolished after the first Russian revolution. In short, in order to stay on the good side of nobility, Alexander didn't free peasants fully. However, when it came to abolishment of serfdom in Poland, he did it in a more radical way, really freeing the peasants there, then the Polish nobility got angry and hence the January Uprising. After which Alexander took away true autonomy from Poland. Considering that he also gave autonomy to Finland, here you can see another surface-level "contradiction", which becomes understandable when you look at the details.

  14. UN should recognise Independent Penguin Republic of the Antarctic (IPRA)

  15. Well many people in his hometown knew about his ancestry, and probably many others did too, considering that he registered in a tribe
    8
  16.  @YourNoseyNeighbor202  there is a significant difference between 68% and 80%. Also, if he was raised as a white person and identified only as a white person, then you would be correct, but he wasn't. Ask any natives, they will tell you being native is about culture much more than about genetic descent. Many tribes have 1/4 or 1/8 (25% or 12.5%) blood quantum or don't have one at all. For example, I am around 68.5% ethnic Russian and was raised only as Russian, and thus I identify as such. The rest are Polish and some unknown ethnic groups. BUT, if I was raised in both Russian and Polish culture, I would identify with both. Ethnicity is about culture, language and identity, NOT genetics

  17.  @voyagerkat22  Putin seems to prefer the Soviet way of choosing the "heir" rather than "keeping it in the family". And honestly, if he tried to do what Kims did in North Korea, that would be an indicators that he totally lost his mind

  18.  @broz1488  if you believe the bible doesn't contradict modern science, you are delusional

  19. The problem is that usual classification of "race" in societies has nothing to do with actual genetic or anthropological patterns in human populations. "White" and "black" are not actual genetic or anthropological categories. West Africans are more different in genetics from some East Africans than Europeans are different from Arabs. There are studies with genetic distances between populations calculated, you can check them yourself

  20. And? 31% of Native American is big enough, and shouldn't be ignored, especially considering Curtis himself considered it important. If we talked about a person with 68% white ancestry, who identified only as white and was raised like a typical white person, then it would be another thing.
    6
  21. You misspelled "by empirical evidence"
    6
  22. You are so mistaken. The evolution of eukarya from archaea is basically confirmed at this point. Three domain system is argued nowadays only as a classification, which can be used for practical purposes while cladistically there are clearly 2 domains
    6
  23. And how much did prokaryotes get? Like, they are most of life on Earth, and half or more of different metabolism types exist only in prokaryotes
    6
  24. Well, it would be hard to hide after he registered in a tribe, so it is more likely many people knew about it

  25. Last time someone played with these legends, prince Arthur died at 15, and there was no king Arthur, and his brother also was a psycho

  26.  @fredriks5090  no, that is actually a HUGE stretch of imagination LOL
    5
  27. No, and it never was. There was never a time when it had 99-100% white population.
    5
  28.  @modmaker7617  I meant the world "person of colour" is rather generalising to all non-white people. Like they are all the same
    4
  29. First of all, "white" and "black" are not real genetic or anthropological categories. Some West Africans are more different genetically from East Africans than Europeans are from Arabs. Knowing only skin colour and using such primitive categories doesn't inform you about any important characteristics
    4
  30.  @mynameisjeff869  genes and how they are expressed define who you are. And environment influences gene expression a lot in every stage of life. And yeah, several dozens of genes related to appearance, are basically inconsequential for anything important, except maybe the amount of sunscreen you need to use on the beach
    3
  31. Yeah, I think any generalisation of all non-white people is disturbing

  32. They are all parliamentary in principle. If more republics were parliamentary instead of presidential they would be more democratic than they are now

  33. Everywhere. Cause almost every marriage is marriage between distant cousins.

  34. 2 party system will be the death of USA. Change the system when it is not too late

  35. You can theoretically connect family trees to our phylogenetic tree, but there is the question of different scale: family trees trace single individuals whole phylogenetic trees trace whole groups like species, subspecies and populations
    2
  36. Yeah, there are biologists which propose that viruses evolved capsids and cells evolved ribosomes, and that is their true difference, before that they could have a common ancestor. And maybe first viruses could live by themselves in very specific niches, but were outcompeted by cells, so parasitic niche was just the only left for them. Also, I like to say plastids which retain DNA, membrane and their own ribosomes are still cyanobacteria, despite also being organelles. They haven't fully lost their identity. There are many endosymbiotic bacteria which also can't live without a host and also influence its life cycle and metabolism, yet they are considered bacteria, not organelles, while plastids are denied that, just because of traditional views

  37. How about noone. Transition to parliamentary republic now. No more "strong leaders", who are just dictators exploiting the country
    2
  38.  @Silver_Knee  well, yeah, spot on, because haplogroups describe only mtDNA and Y-chromosome, which are only 1% of genome. See my earlier comment
    2
  39.  @fannin8583  yeah, but social classification of race is usually very arbitrary, and not based on most important genetic/physiological differences. Like what the heck is "Latino" category? That is certainly not based on reality. Also, Africa is so genetically diverse, that black Africans could themselves be classified into several "races"
    2
  40. Well, social constructs are based on something. Lets just say, the fact that different groups have different phenotype is one thing, but HOW those groups are classified are another. Into which exactly groups you divide the population is arbitrary

  41. Is there some similar information for Tlaxcala, rival state of Triple Alliance?
    2
  42. The only fraud is the one Drumpf tried to do. Drumpf cultists still can't accept that their orange god lost 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

  43. Only few generations, not enough for evolution

  44. The monarchy was forced upon your country by other reactionary European countries in the aftermath of Napoleonic wars. Before it wasn't a monarchy

  45. They were all just tyrants, who transferred their tyranny from generation to generation. No sympathy for them

  46. ​​ @omargamal916  it is not "simply a bacterial cell", it is not a bacterial cell at all. It is "similar" to bacterial cell,and still only if you don't look much into any biochemistry. When you start looking into biochemistry, it is different from bacterial cell in multiple things
    2
  47. Well the whole tree wouldn't fit in one chart
    2
  48. But there are many bigger mistakes than that the one with bees and wasps.. those are all simplifications necessary simply because the whole tree should fit into one chart and important for humans groups are shown

  49. Humans are monkeys (simians) taxonomically, as are other apes

  50. ​ @alexreid1173  I am not even sure about where "most biologists don't consider viruses to be alive" claim comes from.

  51.  @nickvenuto9803  his point was a legit one, so..

  52. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  53.  @gengarzilla1685  because they still have useless remnants of feudalism, which are not necessary at all? Parliamentary republics work just as well. And egalitarian principles of equal rights and responsibilities by law should be followed 100% without exceptions for members of one specific family

  54. Haplogroups describe 1% of genetic ancestry at best - the ones from purely female and purely male lines, all the other ancestral lineages are not described by haplogroups. Also, the same individual may have absolutely different results for mtDNA haplogroup and for Y-DNA haplogroup, if their all-male and all-female ancestries come from different populations. One may well be a 100% Western European by Y-DNA and 100% Native American by mtDNA (because those bits of DNA don't mish-mash in crossingover, so they all give you 100% result from one source). I believe there was a video with clearly black girl having a nasty response to a genetic company, which promised to tell her where her African ancestry comes from by studying only mtDNA, but her mtDNA turned out to be from British Isles. Because mtDNA literally contains only a tiny bit of your overall genetic ancestry. Plus, bold for them to assume that all black people have mtDNA lineages only from Africa

  55. He does look like a light mestizo to me. So? Some people who have seen the same photos of me said I look white to them, and others said I don't. I should identify with something based on how I "seem" to look to other people??? Ethnicity, btw, is about culture, not genetics, od course. So is being native American. Ask any natives, they will tell you, identifying with a tribe, being raised in native culture etc. are more important to them than genetics

  56. Some people thought of it only in the way of eradicating genetic disease, btw. And now science actually does it, via gene therapy

  57. Bronze is still widely used in many ways, it is just not for weapons. Copper and its alloys are awesome! Stop the slander 😂

  58. Russian church is hated by so many people in Russia though... Mainly cause it's corrupt

  59. No, thank you. Romanovs got what they deserved

  60. There were some differences. Some for the better, some for the worse. But yeah, they inherited a lot of things from the past. Like the illiterate population, which was brainwashed for generations into thinking that dictatorship (absolutism) is good for them. Crazy is, many people in Russia still have that mindset ("Czar is good, the nobles are bad"), and that is why Putin's propaganda still somewhat works

  61. We all are the Simians (monkeys). Taxonomically apes are monkeys too, and humans are apes

  62. Islam and Christianity were negative conquering forces in the world, destroying many cultural treasures, because those were "pagan"

  63. Some people can trace their ancestry back to Middle Ages. I am a descendant of serfs, so good luck to me...

  65.  @news_internationale2035  England didn't exist at the time of Roman conquest. Britain was populated by native Celtic Brittonic tribes, after whom it was named. AFTER the Romans withdrew, Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians from the continent started to spread through Britain. There are known dates of conquest by Anglo-Saxons for every place and every city in modern England, from the 5th century. In the end Brittonic languages and culture were displaced and survived only in Wales, Cornwall and Cumbria. Anglia is also a peninsula between Germany and Denmark, that is where Angles came from. Saxony - name of several provinces in Germany. Jutland - name of a large peninsula which makes most of modern Denmark. Frisia/Friesland - a province in the Netherlands

  66.  @blossomjoseph5541  well, Brexit happened, and he hasn't shown up 😆😆😆😆 Will he come when sea levels rise so much that they swallow half of the island?

  67. 6:26 - I actually know one of my third cousins and have met her multiple times. Funny, cause I have never met my own half-sister

  68. Celtic lands, invaded by Germanic you mean

  69. Except atheists don't "worship" anyone or anything. And most people who accept evolution aren't even atheist

  70. Yeah, I would never be able to trace my ancestry so much through family tree, cause my descent is mostly serfs, plus many records were destroyed during multiple wars in Russia.
