Not the candidate of my choice with South Asian ancestry, but at least it is finally over. It feels like they’ve been campaigning for a decade! And the U.S. will now have a South Asian “second lady” (wife of the VP).

It was always going to be Trump. Just needed to see the writing on the wall without loony left tinted glasses.

hizbulla has done a ceasefire deal with israel. good for lebanon. shias are saved. if they are cleaver, the arabs will not give leadership to the ‘persians’. they have let hamas down the drain, with unnecessary war.

Some commentary on the ungated podcast about European prehistory 40000 BC – 1200 BC-
-Cromagnon should really only refer to those with genetic affinity to the individuals found in the cromagnon rock shelter around 28000 to 30000 years ago, and while we don’t have dna from those exact individuals, they are from a time and general region that has been sampled. and it seems to have been similar to Goyet q116-1 in spite of having a Gravettian material culture. The Gravettian material culture probably started with the Vestonice cluster and the early geographical expansion came with a demographic replacement but by the time it reached northwestern Europe the displacement first slowed around Belgium and then stopped completely in France where the material culture kept spreading. Your later commentary about culture and replacement is relevant here because it seems to me at least; that that the early Gravettians figured out a way to be more competitive than the contemporary Aurignacians, until they admixed with the Aurignacians and the admixed population took the Gravettian culture and passed it off to the Aurignacian population south of them, which leveled off any advantage Gravettians would have had, thus stopping the spread of the ancestry. Also it would make more sense to say that the LGM killed off both the mammoths and Gravettians instead of saying that the Gravettians killed off the mammoths.
-The WHG replacement of Magdalenians is perhaps better seen as a WHG replacement of post-Aurignacians (genetic descendants of Aurignacians who don’t follow the culture anymore). Solutreans were genetically basically like the least WHG admixed Magdalenians and Magdalenians in general existed as a spectrum on an (post)Aurignacian-WHG cline.
-Lastly the IUP population was replaced in Eastern Eurasia as well since only 39% of Tianyuan man’s ancestry comes from IUP (I haven’t seen a higher figure for modern East Asians) while the other 61% of Tianyuan’s ancestry makes a clade with West Eurasians like Kostenki, Sunghir, Goyet .etc. In Europe the most similar scenario is 19% of Goyet
q116-1 Aurignacian’s ancestry coming from an IUP source. This means that the core West Eurasian ancestry in the west and the related core East Eurasian ancestry in
the east replace the IUP ancestry which is an outgroup to both East Eurasian branch and West Eurasian branches.
