What is obvious to us that wasn't obvious to them? Where there any generals objecting to war on the basis that it just won't produce victory? I understand that Nazis where ideologically blinded and most of them where not all that competent, but what about the rest of the high command?

I don't know if it's the right way to phrase the question, but I've seen many occasional comments alluding to him as 'the dumbest president', and the only thing I have been able to find are tripping incidents. Why is he regarded that way?

Say, a monarch like Edward the Bankrupt, king of England or Charles the Silly, king of France. Did they know that people called them that, and do they say it right in front of him?

In your opinion, what specific event brought the official end to the Roman Republic? What put the nail in the coffin, so to speak, for the Roman Citizen's Liberties? I want to mention that this isn't a question of why the republic fell, which would obviously be infinitely complex to answer, but around what time and by whom did the republic finally end?

This comment is the first I'd heard of Hitler's drug use: http://www.reddit.com/r/HistoryPorn/comments/3a5n2k/luftwaffe_aces_meet_hitler_after_an_awards/cs9jwtj
Though the comment below it describes Hitler in his final months, I do not think it fully disproves the comment which I linked to.

A study in Nature finds that "Kennewick Man is closer to modern Native Americans than to any other population worldwide."
My only knowledge of Kennewick man comes from a single paragraph in Charles Mann's 1491 (The controversy that arose from its "caucasoid" features is used as an example of how archaeologists and anthropologists had trouble repelling baseless speculation when their last big theory, Clovis-First, was falling out of style). How has our understanding of Kennewick Man changed since its discovery? Does this new study do anything to change that understanding?

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/timeline/73f140cf0f51b4227c25c006352f8e17.png There were flourishing civilizations and cultures in egypt, the middle east, Turkey, Greece, India, and China for about 3000 years BC. What were nordics and anglo saxons upto in all this time? I mean, for a population that is pretty successful at present they seem to have left no trace in ancient history? Was it the cold climate? Are there any references to relevant phenomena in other cultures? Thank you!

To expand the question, how did a Roman citizens idea of "Roman-ness" differ from a 19th century Frenchman's idea of "Frenchness"?

Was rape a regular thing back in the times of kings and castles? Co worker and I disagree. One says, percentage wise, it was more prevalent, the other says nope. I know there are no written stats but anyone have an educated guess? I'm sure more knowledgeable than two math teachers.
