Voleu sabé un cuento?
Jo bé us el diré,
no vui cap pesseta,
tampoc cap diné:
lo que'm convindría
un got d'aigardent,
i després el cuento
ja el 'nirem dient.
Pinned
Responeu al fil amb qualsevol questió que volgeu veure resposta. El preu a pagar és o bé un secret, o dues monedes de plata, valtres sabreu què us convé més.
Seguint la tradició, per vacances tanco aquesta paradeta. Ens veiem a l’altre banda, poder!

Sin duda el paso del tiempo pondrá su obra en el lugar (aún más) privilegiado que merece. Y ojalá ello sirva para trar a nuestro país la gran parte de sus trabajos, nunca traducidos.

Me entero con mucho pesar de la muerte de Claude Lecouteux, uno de los grandes expertos en mitos y creencias mágicas europeas. Sus maravillosos libros (algo difíciles de encontrar en castellano, pero disponibles en inglés y francés) sin duda serán consultados durante muchos, muchos años.

Idea de negoci 🦈: una plataforma per trobar comprador a tot el gossip i secrets airejats que puguis sentir a bars o transport públic.

Millor encara, fem-ho subhasta! O amb una modalitat de xantatge per DM. 💡

What Rhode, Olson & Chang (2004) showed was that this genealogical convergence point is relatively quite recent, no more than 5000 years ago, and possibly as recent as *2000 years ago*.

I've used Cleopatra & Julius Caesar as examples before, but it seems likely they left no descendants.

In practice, we have "pedigree collapse":
many of your ancestors were related, and the point where the pedigree 'collapses', where everyone alive at the time was your ancestor or the ancestor of no-one alive today is the "genetic isopoint" or Identical Ancestors Point (IAP).

Meaning, in theory, you had 1 million ancestors as little as 20 generations ago.

Just for simplicity, let's say they "sync up" at 1 generation = 20 years.

In the year 1623 (400 years ago), you had a million ancestors alive, in theory.

First, let's talk about genealogical ancestry vs. genetic ancestry.

You've had a lot of ancestors.

Run some numbers.
You have: 2 parents 4 grandparents 8 great-gp

See the progression? 2^n where n is generations removed.

At 20 "generations removed", 2^20 = 1 million.

Boris Johnson, Donald Trump & Nelson Mandela are all (probably) descendants of Hammurabi (c. 1792 BCE).

So are you, so am I.

That is, if Babylonian King Hammurabi has ANY descendants alive today, then we're ALL probably his descendants.

Everyone alive today, from uncontacted tribes in the Amazon to Aboriginal Australians to... well, Donald Trump or Greta Thunberg, are probably no more than 50th cousins.

Everyone alive in ~3000 BC was either YOUR ancestor, or has NO living descendants.

Highly unintuitive, but inevitably true.
