Thanks good possibilities.
Thanks to everyone for their excellent and sometimes humorous inputs on a complicated issue, DNA and genealogy.
A female sibling was told by a supposedly good genealogist that our Indian DNA was not showing up because Indian Women married our male ancestors.
Also, the since my sibling and her DNA tested daughter are women, that we might not see any Indian DNA due to the women from the past DNA to our current living women.
Like Garth, my mind just freezes up with this issue? (I still know which bathroom to use when away from our home!)
Is this female Genealogist possible correct?
DNA science is, by no means settled. We know a lot more about it than we did a decade or so ago and I'm aware that certain markers are prevalent in female lines whereas others are prevalent in male lines.
I am also aware that siblings from the same parents may show different DNA results for the same reason that one may be brown eyed and one may be green eyed . . . the luck of the draw. But my mind freezes up with this explanation as well.
Documentary genealogy (where I'm pretty good) and DNA science (where I am not) are more different than brain surgery and proctology. A reputable genealogist should recognize this.
BOL!
I had a mind freeze also.
Dang those sexist auto corrects! ;^) Hank was quite a character. Had some issues. His first marriage lasted 14 years I think, the next five averaged a bit under three years I think. As he lay dying, he was surrounded by former property of various friends he'd had executed over the years. Kinda sad, really.
Yes he did, when he was on the run from Saul..................
OR.....It was planned.... thousands of years in advance.................
Well... If you go by the “official narrative”... It would have been pure accident that a species supposedly from Africa dependent on sunlight just happened to find sustenance in the north that was high in vitamin D and continued to survive. :)
Or... There is more to the story. :)
Actually this was 300 years after the Thera volcano. Perhaps some were people who left Knosos when that civilization collapsed. The volcano caused a tsunami which no doubt destroyed their ship building facilities and killed many of their skilled ship builders. While there were ships at sea which no doubt returned to port, the damage was too severe to maintain a strong maritime civilization, and it made sense to move from an island to a mainland.
Geneticists have scanned the genomes of 173 Armenians from Armenia and Lebanon and compared them with those of 78 other populations from around the world. They found that the Armenians are a mix of ancient populations whose descendants now live in Sardinia, Central Asia and several other regions... Armenians share 29 percent of their DNA ancestry with Otzi, a man whose 5,300-year-old mummy emerged in 1991 from a melting Alpine glacier. Other genetically isolated populations of the Near East, like Cypriots, Sephardic Jews and Lebanese Christians, also share a lot of ancestry with the Iceman, whereas other Near Easterners, like Turks, Syrians and Palestinians [sic], share less.Armeniapedia
The name Goliath, like Achish, is not Semitic, but rather Anatolian (McCarter 1980, 291, Mitchell 1967, 415; Wainwright 1959, 79). Not all agree though; the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (2:524) proposes that Goliath may have been a remnant of one of the aboriginal groups of giants of Palestine who now were in the employ of the Philistines. [1. Naveh (1985, 9, 13 n. 14) states that Ikausu, the name of the king of Ekron in the seventh century b.c., is a non-Semitic name that can be associated with that of the Achish of Gath in David's time. The name in the seventh century has a shin ending that is non-West Semitic.]Giving Goliath His Due, Marco Polo Monographs, No. 7. | 'Philistines' | by Neal Bierling | foreword by Joe E. Seger
