This board is dedicated to the discussion of history and the other humanities such as philosophy, religion, law, classical artwork, archeology, anthropology, ancient languages, etc. Please use /lit/ for discussions of literature. Threads should be about specific topics, and the creation of "general" threads is discouraged.

For the purpose of determining what is history, please do not start threads about events taking place less than 25 years ago. Historical discussions should be focused on past events, and not their contemporary consequences. Discussion of modern politics, current events, popular culture, or other non-historical topics should be posted elsewhere. General discussions about international culture should go on /int/.

/his/ is not /pol/, and Global Rule #3 is in effect. Do not try to treat this board as /pol/ with dates. Blatant racism and trolling will not be tolerated, and a high level of discourse is expected. History can be examined from many different conflicting viewpoints; please treat other posters with respect and address the content of their post instead of attacking their character.

When discussing history, please reference credible source material, and provide as much supporting information as possible in your posts.

really tired of you niggers being this retarded
if a negro and a europid can produce fertile offspring, there's nothing you can do to make them separate species.
>why are niggers so ugly then??? hmm??
fetal alcohol syndrome, crack babies, and dysgenics generally
also, "race" = "subspecies"
the real issue is that people seem to have forgotten that these are synonyms. very distinct groups in the same species.

I can't tell the difference between a Turk, Kurd, Arab, Persian or Assyrian. Are they all different ethnicities? If so what are their defining physical characteristics.

I will clarify something which might cause confusion. There are ethnic groups and then ethnicities within said groups. For example, Europeans are an ethnic group while the French are an ethnicity within the European group. However one could argue that the French are also an ethnic group while Bretons and Occitans are different ethnicities within the French group.
In your post you mentioned either ethnic groups and ethnicities. I shall now explain which ones are which.

>Assyrians
They are an ethnicity which belongs to the Mesopotamian ethnic group and they descend directly from the ancient Assyrians and Babylonians just like some Italians, Greeks and Egyptians descend directly from their ancient namesakes.

>Arabs
They are an ethnic group native to the Arabian peninsula from which they spread throughout North Africa during the Muslim conquests.

>Persians and Kurds
They are both ethnicities which belong to the Iranian group. Iranians are an ethnic group much like the Arabs above and Europeans. Most people tend to assume Iranians and Persians are interchangeable terms because they don't know this little fact.

>Turks
They are a Turkic ethnic group which is native to Central Asia. They immigrated towards the Mesopotamia and settled in Anatolia (region in modern day Turkey).

One other thing I think an Emperor would like about Christianity is that Christians began to believe God removed his favor from Jerusalem and now blessed Rome. So it was a useful tactic of Emperors to be able to tell Jews that their own God now loves the Romans more than them.

I find it impossible to argue against their success. As far as denominations go tend to live the gospel of Christ more fully than any other denomination.
Obviously when they started out there were some extremely violent sects, but the ones that continue today seem be the city that is set on a hill.

I never heard of an anabaptist being a Zionist. For one they are pacifists, they also tend to reject politics. Since zionism is both political and militarily aggressive I don't see why they would support it.

ah ok, I just grouped them in with the general milieu of Southern evangelicals. Maybe I just confused them with regular baptists? My bad.

It does not. Thinking does not prove a thought. That we think we observe causality does not prove causality at all.

And it shouldn't be a controversy or debate about it seemingly as we all know archaeogenetics. Or atleast I thought we did. Drift is the seperation between North West and North East Europeans with only a few outliers.

The point is that it's way less of an assumption than the fundamental ones used by the scientific method because it at least depends on where the evidence is currently pointing. If fields were to suddenly be replaced with something else it won't affect every area of known scientific knowledge. There are many things that are taken as purely axiomatic, mess with those and everything breaks down.

There were branches of Scythians that transitioned to the agricultural lives taking advantages of Ukrainian chernozem, who were recorded in Roman documents.
Since agriculture increases population faster than nomadic way of feeding, those agricultural Scythians thought to have absorbed surrounding peoples and formed the core group of the proto-Slavs.
