For what they were... we are. Ancient mtDNA maps of Europe. Update (Jun 2012): As I have not been updating and there have been some very important new discoveries since I wrote this (notably confirmation of mtDNA H in Cantabria and the Basque Country), I strongly suggest to check the entries in the category ancient DNA.

Ancient mtDNA maps of Europe

Update (Dec 2012): A recent update was made to the Late Upper Paleolithic and Epipaleolithic maps (see this entry), which are probably of interest here as well: Original page: These maps were actualized last on May 9th 2011. I was as strict as possible on not over-interpreting the raw data, often only testing the HVS-I segment, what is clearly insufficient and sometimes only creates more confusion. As the tests performed in each study varied, an upstream lineage such as R* does not necessarily exclude a downstream one such as H, specially where no HVS-I markers are know to exist between the two nodes.

Circulation of elite. The Circulation of elite is a theory of regime change described by Italian social scientist Vilfredo Pareto (1848–1923).

Circulation of elite

Changes of regime, revolutions, and so on occur not when rulers are overthrown from below, but when one elite replaces another. The role of ordinary people in such transformation is not that of initiators or principal actors, but as followers and supporters of one elite or another. Assumptions[edit] It is a basic axiom for Pareto that people are unequal physically, as well as intellectually and morally. In society as a whole, and in any of its particular strata and groupings, some people are more gifted than others. The term elite has no moral or honorific connotations in Pareto's usage. Ambiguity[edit] Structural violence. Structural violence refers to systematic ways in which social structures harm or otherwise disadvantage individuals.

structural violence

Structural violence is subtle, often invisible, and often has no one specific person who can (or will) be held responsible (in contrast to behavioral violence). I also hold that behavioral violence and structural violence can intertwine — some of the easiest examples of structural violence involve police, military, or other state powers committing violent acts; of course one can blame the individual soldier, but the factors that lead to a soldier killing a civilian are far more complex than that explanation would imply.

Let me quote Dr. Paul Farmer, Lots of good material has been written directly and indirectly on structural violence, most notably (in my opinion) by Dr. One key aspect of structural violence is that it is often hard to see.

We know now that Italian invasion was due not to Mussolini’s initiative but to Ciano’s one. The flourishing diversity of Eurasia: our political goal. I will allow myself to express my opinion about the future, the strategies and values - the framework of values for the development of our country, the affects of global processes over our nation, our identity and how we would like to see the world in the twenty-first century, and what can our country, Russia, bring to this world together with our partners. Today, almost all the countries of the world - the Russian and European nations, the Chinese and American societies - are faced, in one form or another, with the need to find new strategies to preserve their identity in a radically changing world, a world that has become more open, transparent and interdependent.

The questions «who are we?» , «what do we want to be?» - are heard more and more loudly in our society. We have separated from Soviet ideology and it is not possible to return to it. The main direction of today's competition are economic-technological and ideological-informational ones. National Idea: the search for identity.
