How did the Etruscans attach their bridgework or generally protheses to their mouths?
What kinds of tools did they use during those procedures?

Read the article. But south-west Asia. However, "newcomers"... we were all newcomers from the Neanderthal and Denisovan perspective at the time. And many more movements would follow.

Those groups were the ones leaving all the written records, so yeah, not the easiest field of research regardless.

I guess. I am reading an article now that seems to confirm some of what I said:
"Unfortunately, dress history has traditionally concerned itself more with fashionable elites and the middle classes than with the working classes. Although there are some notable exceptions, this is particularly true of studies that address historical periods prior to the twentieth century"

Oh, Canada. How you never cease to fetishize colonialism. Gotta love how they go straight from calling Ogden a "lad" that "pushed and shoved" to mentioning the murder accusations. The article also calls his wife "not an easy catch" as it proceeds to talk about the price of buying her, then assures the reader how she voluntarily went along with what her husband/owner wanted.
Calling him one of the most important personalities in the fur trade may have some truth to it, but maybe give bastards like these the infamy they deserve instead of romanticizing colonialism. As a Métis, articles like these really feel like colonialist apologia/propaganda. And that's not even mentioning some of the comments...

The Mughals are from a long Turco-Persian tradition, though, which matters more than our modern concept of their 'race'. Persian was interrupted as a lingua franca in the Persian region by Arabic, but a new form of Persian, assisted by co-opting Arabic vocabulary and script, became popular because it was used in centres of culture and power, which were focused around rulers. This spread as the various Turco-Persian empires spread, with Persian often having centre stage as the courtly language, but also becoming endorsed as an 'official' language, and even when it was not, it became more popular for songs, poetry, and literature, and was often the first choice as a lingua franca at the borders of the empire.

As is a river nearby, and a canyon.

Your post about Julia Rivet introduced this amazing pioneer woman to many of us who had never even heard of her. Isaac evidently took a lot longer to grow up! I'd wager that Julia had a lot to do with that. She seemed the type to put up with no nonsense, not even from her man.

Oh, I misunderstood, maybe Patrice Lumumba, the first elected leader of the independent Congo then?. They recently returned his remains (a single gold tooth) to Congo. After his death his body was dissolved in acid.

They didn't mention at all how much downstream admixture there is.
It seems like this article is implying that the one of the 3 main genetic components of Europeans (WHG, ESH, EEF) should actually be split in 2; that the Western Hunter Gatherers is comprised of 2 distinctly different groups circa 14000 bc.
EEF's didn't move in for 8000 years (at least), ESH's were 11000 years away. Did these two groups mix or did they remain genetically distinct?
