The mainstream view has been that for the 600 years of Muslim rule, the only Muslims in Iberia were Arab/Moor invaders and after the Reconquista they went back to MENA.
My question is what was the ethnic demography of Muslim Spain. Were the Spanish Moors ethnic Iberians who became Muslims of Arab invaders?
Could one modern day analogy regarding Medieval Iberian ethnicity be how today, South Americans are predominately Iberian with and indigenous mix. The Iberian Muslims were predominately Arab conquerers mixed with local Iberians?
Hello,
im not sure this is the right place to post this but i have to write a paper on population distribution based on marital status. where can i find sources and material on the importance , meaning, and effects of marital status distribution on the population. also, what kind of policies can the government implement to combat the problems that might arise.
your thoughts and opinions will also be useful.
thanks
As the title says. By the time of the HYW, France had almost 20 millions inhabitants, while England had, IIRC, 3. By 1914 though, France was, with Italy, the least populated great power in Europe. What caused this? Why did other countries saw their population increase so rapidly during the 19th century, and not France?
Among modern diet proponents of various persuasions, I've observed a tendency to cite the past while justifying their modern diet recommendations.
"We should eat X and not Y because this ancient group did and they were better off than we are when it comes to health."
In particular, I hear that certain groups did or did not get heart disease because of their diets. To the extent that I've looked into those claims, they often seem dubious at best. For instance, we hear that omega-3 rich diet of ancient Eskimos kept them free of heart disease from modern paleo diet proponents.
But we can easily find examples of very old mummies with heart disease who ate the eskimo diet in the published literature. Zimmerman, for instance, cites a 53-year-old woman from St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Sea from 300 AD. A autopsy found that she had lots of atherosclerotic plaque build up in her arteries.
>***"We have also seen that ancient Eskimos, far removed from the stresses of modern technological society, suffered from coronary artery disease...This anatomic evidence in Alaska not only confirms the antiquity of arteriosclerotic heart disease, but also its occurrence in a preliterate society..."*** -M.R. Zimmerman, MD, PhD
However, I've hardly made a large study of the subject. I
'm curious to know if historians have found that the preserved remains of any particular cultures are actually free of heart disease. Or perhaps if certain segments of some cultures (the poor, but not the rich, for instance, or costal dwellers vs mountain dwellers) did not seem to develop it.
I realize that the subject is tricky because we're reliant on well-preserved remains, and talking about all of human history here, and we're never entirely certain what an ancient diet really looked like.
But perhaps we have several historians specializing in various cultures who could speak to the heart disease incidence found in remains in their areas of expertise.

Thank you so much! I'll leave this for 3 days (or more) and publish the result in diagrams later on.
Edit: just ditched the whole one email thing.
