    The major genetic risk factor associated with severe COVID19, a chromosome 3 genomic cluster, is derived from a Neanderthal haplotype, and carried by ~50% of people in South Asia and ~15% of people in Europe

    The maps here are outstanding but I'm wondering where can they be found.


    Can anyone recommend some sites?

    Thanks

    Interesting that this is highest in Bangladesh and practically zero in Myanmar.

    Not actually a map, but a nice illustration all the same

    Um, it is actually a map though.

    "A map is a symbolic depiction emphasizing relationships between elements of some space, such as objects, regions, or themes. Many maps are static, fixed to paper or some other durable medium, while others are dynamic or interactive."

    Perhaps not to scale but still a map.

    I'm certainly not an expert on this but my understanding would be that the Bengalis are an Indo-Aryan ethnolinguistic group and a lot of their genetic makeup would come from central asia - the pontic steppe.

    Myanmar has a lot of mixture of people but mostly and including the largest group Bamar are ethnically South East Asian group.

    Crossover Neanderthal dna happening in europe direction.

    That, and it would be a pretty good place for astronomy and astrophotography. Assuming you could get your hands on the equipment.

    Seemingly my dialect is from Honolulu, Reno or San Jose.

    I don't know how I feel about that to be honest, I will have to ponder that for a while.

    I got Yonkers, New York, and Jersey City for that one.
