Maybe they meant as unified countries?

Yes, but in that case I am not sure what colony Greece had.
Besides, Norway wasn't exactly what it is now, when it had colonies, assuming the vikings are meant (any later colonies would have been of Denmark, I suppose)

Percentage of males who appear to be direct male line descendants of Genghis Khan.

That's rather fewer than I thought, but then "male-line" descent is pretty restrictive.

Yeah, they are only looking for a very specific pattern on the Y chromosome. There will be a lot of people decended from him that do not have the "star-cluster" on their Y chromosome. It is worth noting that ∼8% of the men in this region carry the star cluster.

Spoiler Star Cluster graphically :

Spoiler Legend :

Median-joining network (Bandelt et al. 1999) representing Y-chromosomal variation within haplogroup C*(xC3c). Chromosomes were typed with a minimum of 16 binary markers (Qamar et al. 2002; Zerjal et al. 2002; our unpublished observations), including RPS4Y and M48, to define the lineage C*(xC3c) (Y-Chromosome-Consortium 2002), also known as haplogroup 10, derived for RPS4Y and ancestral for M48. Sixteen Y microsatellites were also typed, but DYS19 was excluded from the network analysis because it is duplicated in haplogroup C. The central star-cluster profile is 10-16-25-10-11-13-14-12-11-11-11-12-8-10-10, for the loci DYS389I-DYS389b-DYS390-DYS391-DYS392-DYS393-DYS388-DYS425-DYS426-DYS434-DYS435-DYS436-DYS437-DYS438-DYS439. Circles represent lineages, area is proportional to frequency, and color indicates population of origin. Lines represent microsatellite mutational differences.

I suppose I can put my thoughts:

• Nevada: How to lie with Stats - They are studying for the casinos
• Alaska: Geophysics fluid dynamics - They are studying to be oil engineers
• Massachusetts: The school library - It is those ignoramuses at MIT and Harvard that cannot work out how to use a library
• Delaware: C: How to program - Teaching programing with C in this day and age? Sounds a bit backward. I am not knocking it as a tool, but would not be my first choice for an introductory language.

I wonder about Texas ...

I wonder about Texas ...

I wondered that. It has a big medical industry, it could be that the universities give a lot of medical and biomedicine degrees.

 

[The_J]

But aren't the creationists very strong there?
(that was my main thought)

Texas seems to mandate a core curriculum, including a science subject.

I'd guess this is students taking biology in first year to satisfy that.

Driving Rain Index for Vertical Surfaces (I.S. EN ISO 15927-3:2009) for the period 1991 – 2020 for the Republic of Ireland. Illustrated classes of exposure: very sheltered (< 20), sheltered (20 – 25), moderate (25 – 30), severe (30 – 35), very severe (35 – 40) and extreme (40 – 45).

I'm in a very severe area a bit inland.

I'm reminded of the map from Crimson Skies.

Some of those states don't even have named capitals. And what is "South Vancouver"?

Good map, or best ever map?
