Juniper Blessing (19, trans, she/they) was stabbed 40 times while doing their laundry. 40, fucking, times. Rest in Pride Juniper, you will not be forgotten 💗🏳️⚧️
i miss every single person i’ve ever met in my life
They were NOT lying about youtube recommendations getting considerably worse
They are so uniformly two years behind the discourse, it's relentless!!
In 2019, scientists sequenced DNA from a 6,000‑year‑old piece of birch tar chewing gum found in Denmark. They named the girl who spat it out “Lola.” Her genome revealed something that surprised many: she had dark skin, dark hair, and blue eyes. When an exhibit portrayed her that way, a social media firestorm erupted, accusing researchers of “blackwashing” the past. But the truth is, Lola’s look was common in prehistoric Europe. Using 41 gene variants, researchers predicted Lola’s appearance. And she’s not alone. Dozens of Upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic hunter‑gatherers from England to Spain to the Baltic shared similar traits: dark skin, light eyes. So why don’t modern Europeans look like that? Light skin evolved late — only in the last 5,000 years or so. It came from Neolithic farmers who migrated into Europe and interbred with local hunter‑gatherers. Also, as people switched from a vitamin‑D‑rich diet of fish and game to farming grains, they needed more sun to produce vitamin D. Natural selection favored lighter skin. That’s evolution, not ideology. #archaeohistories
Cardial was a Neolithic culture in the western Mediterranean between 6500 and 5000 BC. We have about 20 ancient DNA samples from this culture. Below is an infographic which describes some interesting facts their ancient DNA has taught us about their genetics.
This map of Anatolian Mesolithic ancestry by Genos Historia shows that despite being a Near Eastern population whose ancestry is now widespread across West Eurasia, it is more European than anything else. Anatolians learned to farm and then colonised Europe with the result that all Europeans share this ancestry more than any other type. The closest living relatives to the extinct stone age Anatolians are modern day Sardinians.
