@B0mbadiI@zagrebbi It’s an estimation based on the PISA scores of 5,000 Shanghainese high school students. While there hasn't been a citywide census, according to the Flynn effect, the average IQ of Shanghai would be around 97–101—which is not unusually high among the world's major cities.
@arcticinstincts Of which, 99% never reached Siberia, not to mention the arctic. You also seemed to confused bc with bp, inland Siberia was depopulated during 19,000bc, the repopulation event driven by asiatic people happened during the rewarming period between 19-17kya, 4000 years later.
@arcticinstincts They were such a small offshoot of the East Asian core that their descendants don’t even make up 1% of modern East Asian population, the percentage is even lower in Asian Americans.
@GoldenSaka The Mongolian_N shown here is an extremely broad group and most of it didn’t came from the Amur, nor did the Primorye sample. People of Rudnaya Culture contributed to later local cultures and probably a tiny bit to Mongolians through Bökli but that’s all, they didn’t travel far.
This map is VERY inaccurate when it comes to Europe and Siberia, heres an (ugly) correction:
The LRJ industry starts in europe during 50-45kya, contemporary to various transitional Neanderthal-Sapien industries such as Chatelperronian and Uluzzian.
The Initial Upper Paleolithic culture (IUP), genetically related to East Eurasians, spreads to both Southeast Europe and the Altai in 45kya, while the East Eurasian Core and Flake industry spreads from the south northward into China.
By 45kya, the West Eurasian Aurignacian Culture spreads into europe, possibly via Anatolia or the Caucasus. Partly Contemporarily, the closely related Gravettian Culture spreads northward into Eastern Eurpope via the Caucasus and then spreads West into the Aurignacian Culture and Eastward, replacing the Altai IUP Culture and migrating far to the to Yana and various related ivory sites.
Before this, there were various possibly-IUP sites with evidence of human activity older than 40kya in the arctic circle, an remarkable testament to early humans climactic resilience.
around 10 thousand years later, the Late Glacial Maximum event hits, drastically lowering temperatures across the globe, forcing the humans in the arctic to abandon their lands and migrate south. During this LGM, there is almost no evidence of Human presence north of the Carpathians and Alps in Europe.
Only after the LGM in 15kya would Humans begin to resettle and expand out of the Refugia back into the rest of Europe as the Soluteran and Magdelanian Cultures. Following this Period, the Scandinavian ice cap started to melt, allowing humans to migrated into Scandinavia for the first time in prehistory, and when they did so, they did so very rapidly, reaching the northernmost part of Scandinavia by 11kya as the Komsa-Hensbacka Culture.
@SperglerAcolyte The goal of Duginism is to position Russia as the leader of the Third World, but the downside is that Russia would have to actually work with third-worlders.
@far_middle@EmmanualMacron@mtracey I've looked deeper into China's age of consent law. It seems to only apply if the minor was 'visibly' a minor — for example, by wearing a school uniform or similar cues. It's beyond ridiculous.
@EmmanualMacron@mtracey I’m usually against government surveillance, but people who saw “soliciting prostitution from a minor” and immediately imagine an island with nine-year-old child prostitutes should probably be on some kind of watchlist.
@Tom_Rowsell@GhanaMFA All slave-importing states should return enslaved people and their descendants, while slave-exporting states should provide compensation adjusted for inflation.
@royalserf I love how they had to throw in Epstein Island to make it three—might as well add the guy who got scammed last week buying fentanyl in LA, and those blue people who died during the final battle in Avatar.
@MittCPA Convince billionaires that classical architecture is a better way to showcase their wealth than contemporary styles. All the great classical buildings we admire today were commissioned by the “billionaires” of their time and we won’t bring those back by rallying internet peasants
@TexasOncologist@Geiger_Capital It’s a state-assigned ethnicity copied from the old Soviet system. It should not be confused with an ethnic or linguistic group, or with cultural identity in the modern sense.
@VIX_TA_Expert@TexasOncologist@Geiger_Capital That’s crazy. Most of their ancestry diverged 20–10 kya. They later influenced each other throughout history, but never shared the same language or culture.
@witte_sergei This is the default Chinese view. It is built on the false premise that the center (themselves) is always more advanced than the periphery (Eurasia, the Middle East, Europe, etc.). As a result, every one of their defeats can be interpreted as being conquered by weaker people.
