Who said they were government owned though? Stagnation and risk averseness is pretty much the default when it comes to most major European companies. In almost any sector.

Papen wasn’t even remotely left wing or even “moderate”. Hindenburg also hated democracy and wanted to destroy it. There were barely any liberals left in the Reichstag when it voted for the enabling act (progressive liberalism as we’d under

Is cycling (as a method of transportation of course) really that popular in Italy? I’ve never noticed that.

Adjusting by location, race and other factors makes a significant difference as well. e.g. Hispanics generally have comparable life expectancy to top 10 European countries in most states. If you exclude the Black and non-Hispanic White popu

Well I specifically disagreed with “wouldn't have been particularly noticeable in any one life time”. So it would seem it’s quite different from what you said. If you happen to live in the Pontic Steppe for most of your life yet your e

There is some evidence of at least proto-writing existing in the “Old” European societies that the Indo-Europeans replaced prior to 3500 BC. Of course no indication that it was preserved or further developed. https://en.m.wikiped

If in earlier periods a specific haplogroup is concentrated in specific relatively small area but after a couple of centuries it can be found across the entire continent that seems like a good indicator.

Bodies in certain environments (e.g. especially some bogs/marshes) are much more likely to be preserved? On the other hand it’s extremely unlikely for human remains to survive for long in tropical forests or similar places.
