This is a groundbreaking study btw.
A couple of weeks ago I was explaining to somebody that we could use the eduPGS on ancient Roman samples to test the IQ decline theory of civilizational collapse. I can't believe someone actually did it.
IMO this is the most interesting work in archaeogenetics since the Tarim mummies paper of 2021, and one of the most politically significant archaeogenetics papers since the Proto-Indo-European expansion was genetically confirmed in 2015. I think it will cause quite a ruckus among libtard scientists.
I'll write a mini summary of it on my blog later today and add some extra population genetics info.

New paper on the decline of Roman educational attainment (which is a proxy for IQ) correlating with the decline of the Empire is interesting.
Gives support to the thesis that immigration and dysgenic breeding (given that IQ is largely genetically determined)…

Debunking the nonsensical claim that "ethnostates will lead to incest and inbreeding depression (autosomal recessive disorders)":
1. The probability of autosomal recessive disorders is ~0% for third and fourth cousin marriages, which are the most fertile and also pretty common because friends are as genetically related as fourth cousins, on average.
2. The only people at risk are second cousin marriages and closer related incest, which is practically nonexistent in White countries. We are the least inbred people on the planet.
3. Miscegenation causes outbreeding depression in the same way that inbreeding causes autosomal recessive disorders: It creates rare gene variants that are more likely to be harmful because they haven't been purged by natural selection. It also alters environmental adaptations for the worse, e.g. darkening skin in northern climates.

A new paper on the Proto-Indo-European expansion was recently released, looking at the Cernavoda and Usatove cultures of Southeastern Europe, dated ~4000 to ~3100 BC.
"It has been theorized that the Cernadova culture, together with the Sredny Stog culture, was the source of Anatolian languages [Hittite, Luwian, Trojan, etc.] and introduced them to Anatolia through the Balkans" (Wiki) (Study).
This theory was challenged by the Harvard Reich Lab in 2022. They used extremely shady methods (representing PIE ancestry with East European Hunter-Gatherers, not sampling any Western Anatolians, etc.) and claimed that because they couldn't find any "PIE" ancestry in Anatolia, PIE people/languages must have originated in the Middle East.
Using the newly published Cernavoda individuals (who didn't have much PIE ancestry to begin with but likely spoke IE languages), we see that Harvard's claims are bogus. Early and Middle Bronze Age Anatolian samples do have Cernavoda-related ancestry after all.

Is Wokeness a Religion? - New short video from Patrick Casey.
I'm enjoying these sub-10 minute videos. I'd like to see more of them. Most RW content is longform today and while there's nothing wrong with such content, it's good to have some variety. People's attention spans have shrunk a lot over the last decade or so.

"Definition of wokeness" and "why it is bad" as requested by this Twitter libtard:
Wokeness is primarily hating straight White people, and secondarily hating success, beauty, strength, etc. The first is bad because straight White people built the West and everyone else is ruining it, the second is bad because worshiping failure, ugliness, and weakness is suicidal.
Also succinctly summarized by the pictured Mystery Grove quote and by Edward Dutton: "Wokeness is merely Communism for a society of high material wealth."

Joseph Bronski said that he defines "Wokeness" in his research as: Support for feminism, homosexuality, and foreigners. He pointed out that these things depress the fertility of the founding/native population of an empire/nation and always seem to pop up during periods of societal decline.
I would add support for economic leftism to that list, since it predicts negative psychological and physical characteristics (spite, malicious envy, selfishness, physical weakness, etc.).

The current conservative definition of 'wokeness' essentially boils down to: "These crazy RADICAL Leftists are destroying our race- and gender-blind utopia! This isn't what MLK's dream was about!" It exists to give Leftists like Chris Rufo and James Lindsay wiggle room to say: "I'm not like THOSE crazy Leftists! They want to acknowledge group differences!"
We need to change this definition to one that captures the essence of "wokeness" (which is just regular Leftism as it has existed for centuries): The inversion of everything that is healthy, evolutionarily adaptive, and in favor of White group interests.
- Anti-White / pro-brown
- Anti-male / pro-female
- Anti-family / pro-LGBT
- Anti-wealth / pro-poverty
- Anti-strength / pro-weakness
- Anti-beauty / pro-ugliness
- Anti-health / pro-sickness
This is the nature of "wokeness," not the Rufo-Lindsay-ite idea that it is some sort of "Neo-Racism" or "Neo-Sexism." It is about making society more brown, more gay, more feminist, poorer, weaker, uglier, sicker.

This thread is genetics autism but a good example of how geneticists etc. lie by manipulating data. These lies get published in academic journals, sent to journalists who don't understand what they're reading, then become canon after being injected into public consciousness by MSM.
