Climate Change

Latest information shows that it's hotter now than it has been for 2000 years.

If this group has a name, I've forgotten it. I could got look it up, but that's more trouble than I feel like going to for one LJ comment. But the people of Urumchi were red-haired, blue-eyed, and extremely tall (6'+); they certainly didn't arise from the nearby Asian genotype. They have a lot in common with groups in eastern and northern Europe, not just genetically but in some details of their culture at that period.

Curiously, they all look like my relatives. Maybe that's why I get so excited about them.

>Cool, you're a Viking.

A little bit, but mostly Welsh and Czech; both sides of the family have similar traits, despite coming from opposite ends of Europe. Growing up, I thought it was a funny coincidence, but when I heard the Black Sea flood theory and its implications, I thought, "Well, THAT explains it."
