These two principal component analyses (PCAs) show the genetic diversity of the human species and selected West Eurasians (i.e. Caucasoids). Probably the most useful PCAs for showing the genetic structure of humanity and how it relates to geography.

HOW TO HIDE FROM A DRONE IN THE AGE OF SURVEILLANCE
When the govt. redirects large drones from the border to monitor protests, and when towns experiment with drones to test for fevers, it’s time to think about evasion. This article provides some tips:
▪︎If possible, wait for bad weather, since smaller drones have a hard time flying in high winds, fogs and rain
▪︎Trees, walls, alcoves & tunnels offer shelter
▪︎Avoid using wireless devices that reveal your location.
▪︎You can confuse a drone by placing mirrors on the ground, standing over broken glass, or wearing sensor-jamming jackets that can distort the image a drone sees.
▪︎Confuse Infrared drones by masking your body’s temperature.
▪︎Hats, glasses, masks and scarves go a long way toward scrambling drone-based facial-recognition.
▪︎Your gait is as unique as your fingerprint - mask your walk with a limp.
▪︎Umbrellas are affordable, hard to see around and can be disposed of in a hurry. Plus you can build a high-tech one, if you want. [ Article ]
