Répartition géographique et origines ethniques des haplogroupes européens Dernière mise à jour de la version française en septembre 2013 (A, C, G2a, I2, J2, L, Q, R1a, R1b, T + toutes les cartes) pour la section ADN-Y et février 2010 pour la section ADNmt.Ce site utilise la désignation neutre d'Ère commune (EC ou AEC) pour les dates. Des études sur l'ADN ont permis de catégoriser tous les êtres humains sur Terre en une série de groupes généalogiques descendants d'un ancêtre commun à un moment de la préhistoire. On appele ces catégories des haplogroupes. Les haplogroupes Y-ADN sont également utiles pour déterminer si deux individus apparament non apparentés mais portant le même nom de famille descendent bel et bien d'un même ancêtre dans un passé pas trop lointain (3 à 20 generations). En Europe, les haplogroupes ADN mt sont répartis de manière relativement homogène sur le continent, et par conséquent ne peuvent pas être associés avec un groupe ethnique de l'Antiquité. => Plus de cartes des expansions du Néolithique et de l'Âge du bronze Haplogroupes européens

The Guide to Sleeping in Airports: Reviews and Pour un même travail, si vous rémunérez 2 singes inéquitablement, regardez ce qu'il se passe. Voici une intervention particulièrement géniale de Frans de Waal lors du TEDxPeachtree. Frans est primatologue, il étudie le comportement des primates, comment ceux-ci coopèrent, s’affrontent, interagissent et partagent. Lors de cette intervention, Frans de Waal présente son travail et ce qu’il a appris du comportement des singes et d’autres animaux à propos de comportements sociaux comme la coopération ou la réciprocité. Une de ses expériences (présentée à 12:30 dans la vidéo) est notamment devenue célèbre. Il s’agit d’une expérience avec deux singes à qui l’on demande une tâche simple : « donner un caillou ». Lorsque les deux singes sont « rémunérés » tous les deux avec du concombre, tout se passe bien et l’opération peut être répétée à volonté. Une présentation qui en dit long à la fois sur ces primates… mais aussi sur nous même dans un sens. Cela vous a plu ?

World's Top 25 Trains: Luxury, First-Class, Steam The 52-passenger Clásico El Transcantábrico train, which traverses Northern Spain, started in 1983. Its launching was one of the first stories in The International Railway Traveler, founded the same year. The train set has six sleepers, each with four double compartments with ensuite facilities. The train is operated by Ferrocarriles Españoles de Vía Estrecha (FEVE), which means Narrow-Gauge Spanish Railways. In May, 2011, a new luxury service, called Gran Lujo, was inaugurated. It features all Preferente Suites, which are each half a train car. The Preferente Suites have a double bed, long sofa, flat-screen DVD, computer for your private use (wifi when in stations) and lots of storage in closets, under the bed, and under the sofa.

The Case against Public Science For libertarians, economic growth is the growth that barely speaks its name. That is because conventional opinion asserts that economic growth is the gift of government. Secondary issues such as the efficient distribution of goods and services can, we are assured, be entrusted to the market, but when it comes to the creation of those goods and services in the first place (especially the new goods and services that constitute economic growth) then—sorry dear libertarian—only government can supply those: we are rich today only because that nice Mr Obama and his equally nice predecessors in the White House and in Congress have been gracious enough and foresighted enough to confer that wealth upon us. The conventional story is thus an awesome story of government largesse and wisdom, and it’s one that the great companies and the great universities and the great economists promote most assiduously. Nonetheless, if only out of antiquarian interest, let’s look at what this empiricist reported.

There are always new products coming out that can improve the travel experience. Luggage, Clothing and Accessories Osprey Farpoint 40 Travel Backpack Like many travel enthusiasts, I favor taking only carry-on luggage.… Introduction My first impression of Mygola was that it was yet another trip planning site, albeit more attractive and better-executed than most. I expect that many of you seasoned travelers regularly use in-flight WiFi but I had not tried it before an Expedia cross-country recruiting trip I took last month. …Finding Serenity off the Beaten Path My brother John and I had the opportunity to visit Hong Kong in March 2013 thanks to a great Singapore Airlines promotion. Shakespeare’s Juliet famously asked “What’s in a name?” 787 Woes: Systematic Problems or Teething Pains? I think Expedia’s “Find Yours” promotional campaign is brilliant.
