Today:
Welcome to this week's instalment of /r/AskHistorians' Sunday Digest (formerly the Day of Reflection). Nobody can read all the questions and answers that are posted here, so in this thread we invite you to share anything you'd like to highlight from the last week - an interesting discussion, an informative answer, an insightful question that was overlooked, or anything else.
Was a bit late with it, so here goes my answer on why Mexican accordion folk music (norteño) sounds similiar to European polka music, in case people are interested.
The always wonderful /u/sunagainstgold cultivated some food for thought on the question Timelines of women's rights frequently include gaining the right to own property. But there are plenty of accounts of women in the Middle Ages who owned and managed property. Was here a post-Medieval regression in women's rights or is something else going on?
I'm going to toot my own horn and say I was pleased with what I came up with in regards to the question of How did explorers arriving in the Americas (or elsewhere) determine which plants/animals were safe to eat and which were poisonous?
/u/bentresh on "What did being wealthy look like in the bronze age?"
/u/icnielson on "Why isn't Stalin viewed the same way as Hitler?"
/u/yodatsracist on "Did Christian missionaries localize the Lord's Prayer when they sought to convert new peoples?"
/u/lngwsktksgk had a great answer to the question Would highlanders have spoken English or Gaelic during the Battle of Culloden? - which happened to have some points of military history that I found useful, but was a very thorough and interesting answer to the question, too.
