Thank you. This is fascinating. How interesting is it that the maternal and paternal are separated. I read...here are the raging armies that decimated your cities vs. here are the women who somehow nurtured you to adulthood despite. Grateful for both cuz we are here

Haplogroups are interesting because both the maternal and paternal lines are preserved, but separately. I am descended from a long line of women who meandered westward along the mediterranean & a long line of men who conquered the eurasian steppes and spread from Ireland to Japan

This is absolutely fascinating. There has got to be more research on this. S/t like, what happens when a groups of marauders impregnates whole towns of women who subsequently migrate to safer places to save their babies? So many takes on this

Genetics are really one of the best tools we have to study pre-history, as we really don't have much in the way of artifacts. What we do have ends up being really cool, though. See for example the Corded Ware peoples, named for their pots:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corded_Ware_culture …

eigenrobot @eigenrobotThe David Reich book so far is (i) great science, and (ii) hilariously sad sociology of science Kind of remarkable he was able to publish this honestly, even with all of the strained caveating and encomiums to bien pensant views re: diversity pic.twitter.com/Totdu8YRv3Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -

This is absolutely fascinating. Rendering the book. one interesting feature of the Wikipedia article is how much of early research is focused on the Y chromosome. I get why that’s the simplest way. Thank you both. diving down a deep hole that I would not have otherwise
