> archaeogenetics revolution in the last 15 years
Unfortunately none of that is passed on to said audience, as can been in comments that claim ancient europe followed burial or genetic patterns aligned with a cold war era political classification of the region.
It would be comical if not tragic that we actually fund people producing such “research”. I am less and less surprised that some think we can replace them with chat bots given how low quality the output is.
- ZunarJ5 3y agoThis is an incredibly ignorant take. Tracing these lineages has implications on everything from climate, geography, history, politics etc.
- gumballindie 3y agoYup, and this “research” mis traces it. A low quality piece aimed at ignorant readers that project their’s upstream.
- jWhick 3y ago100% agree with this.
- OfSanguineFire 3y agoYour posts here are so incoherent, it’s not clear what you are complaining about. Is it the term "Eastern European"? That isn’t a “Cold War-era classification” at all. The use of “Eastern European” in the archaeology and linguistics of the region goes back to the term Osteuropa in the foundational 19th-century literature. If you lack any familiarity with this field enough to know that, then it would be wise to refrain from making pronouncements on the worthiness of this research. Also, the HN submission is a pop-sci article created by that university’s PR, it is not the actual research. The actual research can be found in the mentioned journal.

Could you actually explain what's wrong with it? Maybe we're reading a different article?
