When the Achaemenid Persians defeated the Greek rebels in the Ionian revolt Herodotus says that the Achaemenid Persians chose the most handsome Greek boys from each city and castrated them to become eunuchs and chose the most beautiful Greek girls and sent them away to the king's harem and then burnt the temples of the cities.

>A new phenomenon of constructing distinctive funerary monuments, collectively known as megalithic tombs, emerged around 4500 BCE along the Atlantic façade. The megalithic phenomenon has attracted interest and speculation since medieval times. In particular, the origin, dispersal dynamics, and the role of these constructions within the societies that built them have been debated. We generate genome sequence data from 24 individuals buried in five megaliths and investigate the population history and social dynamics of the groups that buried their dead in megalithic monuments across northwestern Europe in the fourth millennium BCE. Our results show kin relations among the buried individuals and an overrepresentation of males, suggesting that at least some of these funerary monuments were used by patrilineal societies.

Evolution of Fair Features

Hey /his/ there is a strange development of the history of blonde hair and fair eyes that appears contradictory.

We know that blue eyes came from the Black Sea area, [1] however the Yamnaya culture appears lacking in blue eyes and only had a moderate presence of light hair. [2] Furthermore, descendents of the Yamnaya culture such as the Tocharians, paradoxically, did have high presence of such traits, despite being as far removed as Eastern China. [See picture, 3]

What was the cause of such contradictory trends in fair featured traits? Is the data for the Yamnaya culture simply inaccurate? Why would a population so close to the origination of blue eyes have them in lower quantities than other parts of Europe and even Asia?

ANE - Ancient North Eurasians

Tell me about ANE /his/ are they really the ancestors of IE? What's the relationship there? Were they really red heads with green eyes? Why is the Basque country the country with the most R1b? is R1b linked to ANE? is Yamna linked to ANE? so many questions, I hope somebody can shed some light into this since I'm a brainlet and I'm trying to understand this right here. How did they looked like, etc.
