Who are the most attractive on average, Neolithics or Upper-Paleolithics?

Neolithic:

What does it mean to look mesolithic and neolithic?

What you assume to be neolithic admixture is based on agricultural evidences (evidences) and haplogroup frequencies.
There are several models not one.
Are there any more reasons not to believe that this mysterious "neolithic" admixture could be way older?

Since when do all UP look like that? What about Basques?

Recent genetic studies show that Mesolithic Iberians were much closer to modern North Europeans than Iberians and definitely Basques.

This mustn't be said here, i know because isn't the genetic subforum but anyway the study is this:

the problem in that is that 1% of the DNA has been descrypted, there are very low amount of iberian samples in comparation with other european and it is 7000 years ago and neolithic was VIII b.c (in Europe) from to metallurgy

[Balmung]

Neolithics, no doubt.

Mmm Yes, North American girls are most attractive

[gold_fenix]

Neolithics, no doubt.

Superior American: i choose the second, hehehe , she reminds something to Imago_dei, anyway is the same girl not?

Formerly there had been much debate about whether the westerly spread of agriculture from the Near East was driven by farmers actually migrating, or by the transfer of ideas and technologies to indigenous hunter-gatherers. However, in a very recent study in 2010, researchers have studied the genetic diversity of modern populations to throw light on the processes involved in these ancient events. The new study, funded by the Wellcome Trust, examines the diversity of the Y chromosome. Mark Jobling, who led the research, said: "We focused on the commonest Y-chromosome lineage in Europe, carried by about 110 million men, it follows a gradient from south-east to north-west, reaching almost 100% frequency in Ireland. We looked at how the lineage is distributed, how diverse it is in different parts of Europe, and how old it is." The results suggested that the lineage R1b1b2 (R-M269), like E1b1b or J lineages, spread together with farming from the Near East. Prior archaeological[29][30][31][32][33] and metrological[34][35] studies had arrived at similar conclusions in support of the migrationist model.

Dr Patricia Balaresque, first author of the study, added: "In total, this means that more than 80% of European Y chromosomes descend from incoming farmers. In contrast, most maternal genetic lineages seem to descend from hunter-gatherers. To us, this suggests a reproductive advantage for farming males over indigenous hunter-gatherer males during the switch from hunting and gathering, to farming".[36][37][38]

Who cares about mesolitics anyway

[kenji]

no one is perfectly looking neolithics or upper- plaeolithics in moder population so from the current population view i feel ----> neo+upper-paleo mix look more attractive

[CelticViking]

Neolithic

I like these two
