  2. Genetic history of Sardinia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_history_of_Sardinia

    The genetic history of Sardinia consists of the study of the gene pool of the Sardinian people with two main objectives. The first is purely cultural and is to reconstruct the natural history of the population. The other instead has the aim of understanding the genetic causes of high life expectancy and of some pathologies by exploiting some ...

  3. Sardinian people - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardinian_people

    Depiction of the Sardus Pater Babai in a Roman coin (59 B.C.). Not much can be gathered from the classical literature about the origins of the Sardinian people. [17] The ethnonym "S(a)rd" may belong to the Pre-Indo-European (or Indo-European [18]) linguistic substratum, and whilst they might have derived from the Iberians, [19] [20] the accounts of the old authors differ greatly in this respect.

    The discovery of Paleolithic lithic workshops indicate a human presence in Sardinia in the period between 450,000 and 10,000 years ago. According to the researchers, a hominid nicknamed "Nur" was the first to colonize the current territory of the island about 250,000 years ago, in the Lower Paleolithic; based on studies of a phalanx found in the Nùrighe caves of Cheremule, the researchers ...

    Marcello Siniscalco (31 July 1924 – 29 November 2013) was an Italian scientist at the forefront of the development of the nascent field of genetics. [1] [2] A contemporary of Watson and Crick, [3] he spent a significant part of his international career heading the Department of Somatic Cell Genetics at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, [4] but throughout his life maintained ...

    This haplotype is considered a genetic marker of Sub-Saharan Africa, where it shows frequencies of about 80%. [72] Whereas, in non-Mediterranean European populations, that value is about 0.3%, in Spain the average figure for this African haplotype is nearly eight times greater (though still at a low level) at 2.4%, and it shows a peak at 4.5% ...

  7. Genetic history of Italy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_history_of_Italy

    A close genetic similarity between Ashkenazim and Italians has been noted in genetic studies, possibly due to the fact that Ashkenazi Jews have a significant European admixture (30–60%), much of it Southern European, a lot of which came from Italy when Jewish diaspora males of Middle Eastern origin migrated to Rome and found wives among local ...

    The Nuragic civilization, [1] [2] also known as the Nuragic culture, formed in the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, Italy in the Bronze Age.According to the traditional theory put forward by Giovanni Lilliu in 1966, it developed after multiple migrations from the West of people related to the Beaker culture who conquered and disrupted the local Copper Age cultures; other scholars instead ...
