The_Rev Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Those two dots in the outback make Australia look like a face. The inlet near Adelaide is it's mouth, it even has a cute little overbite. <3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Where Americans think Ukraine is. (The more wrong they are, the more likely they are to support military intervention, apparently). Yes. There are Americans who think that Ukraine is in the USA and that their military should intervene. I think the alleged 'professors' who released this need to learn about control groups and should perhaps try to filter out the results of people who clearly either don't care or who seem prone to taking the piss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut them some slack, they're social "science" professors... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In their defence, the results are consistent with many other geography questions over many years. Though in this case, people might have been influenced by hearing about "Georgia" and having that, er, on their mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 9, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9, 2014 I like the dot in the middle of the ocean under NEw Zealand. Is there even an island there? Come on. At least pick a country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted April 10, 2014 Moderator Share Posted April 10, 2014 That map has Aryan asa DNA type, raising instant suspicion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted April 10, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 10, 2014 It lists Aryan as one of the population groups with the R1a marker. Wiki Indo-Aryan or Indic peoples are an ethno-linguistic group referring to the wide collection of peoples united as native speakers of the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-Iranian language family. Today, there are over one billion native speakers of Indo-Aryan languages, most of them native to South Asia, where they form the majority. Contemporary Indo-Aryans are spread over most of the northern, western, central and eastern regions of the Indian subcontinent, Hyderabad in southern India, and in most parts of Sri Lanka and the Maldives. Non-native speakers of Indo-Aryan languages also reach the south of the peninsula. The largest groups are the Hindi, Bengali and Punjabi. (Hindustani) or Hindi/Urdu speakers of India, Bangladesh and Pakistan number more than half a billion native speakers, constituting the largest community of speakers of any of the Indo-European languages. Of the 23 national languages of India, 16 are Indo-Aryan languages (see also languages of India). A study headed by geneticist Z. Zhao et al. (2009) based on an analysis of "32 Y-chromosomal markers in 560 North Indian males collected from three higher caste groups (Brahmins, Chaturvedis and Bhargavas) and two Muslims groups (Shia and Sunni) were genotyped" found that "a substantial part of today's North Indian paternal gene pool was contributed by Central Asian lineages who are Indo-European speakers, suggesting that extant Indian caste groups are primarily the descendants of Indo-European migrants." Eupedia has an occasional tendency to R1a propagandizing as the most European of haplotypes, but the data in the map is sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legov Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Why's Aryan grouped with Slavic though? Weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
