Segerstrom High School senior Jonathan Espinoza has done it again – even as he struggles to collect enough donations to pay for his registration fee at Georgetown University, he has landed an interview with NBC reporter Colleen Williams, to talk about Project SELF – “a program that helps low-income minorities in Orange County with internships at legal firms and how it has helped him pursue his future career,” according to NBC News.

Congratulations Jonathan!  I have a feeling those donations are going to really start rolling in now!

  • "Some scientists believed they represented interbreeding between Neanderthals and Home Sapiens"...... Hmmmmm

    Exactly!

    However, today you do not need to dig out bones in some cave you can run a DNA test and determine who is a carrier of the Neanderthal gene.

    High IQ like mine does eliminate me to be such a carrier, so who is left here?

  • "The Neanderthal/Homo Sapiens remains were found in your homeland Stanley."...... Hmmmmmm

    That is clear Neanderthal like thinking (if any), Admin.

    If that would be true you would found Mexican remains only in Mexico.

    The Czech name "Čechy" is derived from the name of the Slavic tribe of Czechs which settled down in this area in 6th or 7th century.

    Another example of your low IQ. Scientists have found this. They have scientific proof. Your response is just your low IQ from ignorance and stupidity.

  • "The Czech name “Čechy” is derived from the name of the Slavic tribe of Czechs which settled down in this area in 6th or 7th century"

    Yes they were the founding population and is your ancestors you carry their DNA......why the country has the name"The Czech Republic" go figure.

    Argument not from some one with a high IQ. Fiala you keep exposing your low IQ.

  • "And these people aren’t your ancestors?"...... Hmmmmm

    That is second Neanderthal like thinking (if any), Admin.

    • Well, I will concede that the Czechs were conquered by just about all of their neighbors, so Lord only knows who is in your gene pool Stanley...

  • "Yes they were the founding population and is your ancestors you carry their DNA……why the country has the name”The Czech Republic” go figure."...... Hmmmmmm

    That is third Neanderthal like thinking (if any), Dr. Amalgam.

    Please notice you moron mongoloid that it states: "Slavic tribe of Czechs which settled down in this area in 6th or 7th century."

    That is long time after 29000 BC, infarct 600 or 700 AD

    The Slavic tribe came from different place but you are too stupid to understand Europe and its history.

    See if your monky bran can figure that one out:

    The Slavic influx was divided into two or three waves. The first wave came from the southeast and east, when the Germanic Lombards left Bohemia (c. 568 AD). Later immigrants came from the Black Sea region, as shown by Iranian place names as "Dudleb" (today in Prachens region, South Bohemia) and "Charvat" (Choroathos). Soon after, from the 630s to 660s, the territory was taken by Samo's tribal confederation. His death marked the end of the old "Slavonic" confederation, the second attempt to establish such a Slavonic union after Carantania in Carinthia.

    • According to this article, it would have taken 850,000 years to achieve the current diversity in hair and eyes colours in Europe. We know that Cro-Magnon moved out of Africa and the Middle East to "colonise" Europe around 40,000 years ago at the latest. This would support the theory that the blond or red hair, and blue or green eyes found only in Europe were indeed indeed inherited from an older occupant than Cro-Magnon, and there was only the Neanderthal before them. This is not yet a definitive proof, but another convincing evidence that modern Europeans, especially those of Germanic, Celtic and North Slavic descent, carry a more important part of Neanderthal genes that previously admitted.

  • "Well, I will concede that the Czechs were conquered by just about all of their neighbors"........ Hmmmmmm

    If that would be true, the Czechs would not speak Czech but Spanish like your conquered Aztec.

    • The Slavic branch

      The origins of the Slavs goes back to circa 3000 BCE. The Slavic branch differentiated itself when the Corded Ware culture (see Germanic branch above) absorbed the Cucuteni-Tripolye culture (5200-2600 BCE) of western Ukraine and north-eastern Romania, which appears to have been composed primarily of I2a2 lineages descended directly from Paleolithic Europeans, with a small admixture of Near-Eastern immigrants (notably E-V13 and T). Thus emerged the hybrid Globular Amphora culture (3400-2800 BCE) in what is now Ukraine, Belarus and Poland. It is surely during this period that I2a2, E-V13 and T spread (along with R1a) around Poland, Belarus and western Russia, explaining why eastern and northern Slavs (and Lithuanians) have a considerable incidence of haplogroups I2a2 with a bit of E and T. After just a few centuries, this hybridised culture faded away into the dominant Corded Ware culture.

      The Corded Ware period was followed by the Trzciniec (1700-1200 BCE), Lusatian (1300-500 BCE), Chernoles (1025-700 BCE) and Milograd (600 BCE-100 CE) cultures in north-east Slavic countries. The last important Slavic migration is thought to have happened in the 6th century CE, from Ukraine to Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, filling the vacuum left by eastern Germanic tribes who invaded the Roman Empire.

      Historically, no other part of Europe was invaded a higher number of times by steppe peoples than the Balkans. Chronologically, the first R1a invaders came with the westward expansion of the Corded Ware culture (from about 3200 BCE), then the Mycenaean invasion (1600 BCE), followed by the Thracians (1500 BCE), the Illyrians (around 1200 BCE), the Huns and the Alans (400 CE), the Avars, the Bulgars and the Serbs (all around 600 CE), and the Magyars (900 CE), among others. These peoples originated from different parts of the Eurasian steppes, anywhere between Eastern Europe and Central Asia, which is why such high STR diversity is found within Balkanic R1a nowadays. It is not yet possible to determine the ethnic origin for each variety of R1a, apart from the fact that about any R1a is associated with tribes from Eurasian steppe at one point in history.

  • "Well, I will concede that the Czechs were conquered by just about all of their neighbors"....... Hmmmmmmm

    If that would be true, Czech would be speaking Spanish like Aztec.

    • You're repeating yourself Stanley. Didn't you marry a Mexican? Doesn't that mean your daughter has Aztec blood?

  • "Historically, no other part of Europe was invaded a higher number of times by steppe peoples than the Balkans."........ Hmmmmmm

    Do you have any clue where the Balkans are?

    You may know it as Bosnia-Hercegovina (Yugoslavia) and recent upheaval there which is never ending and has nothing to do with Czechs.

    But there is a limit to Spanish speeking Neanderthal to understand all that.

    • Stanley,

      You know full well that both Yugoslavia and Bohemia (Czechoslovakia) were part of the SAME empire - the Austria-Hungary empire.
