There are arguments about which is the ‘true’ Viking gene, R1b or ‘I’. I think they’re both.
Hello Blam. Got the female side results today and it came back as H. The deeper detail suggests that she identifies strongly with Norway (that is historically accurate), and before that from the region of the Caucasus. The report map shows that same longer term trail.
Looks like I have a lot more reading to do to understand the mtDNA ‘markers’ and the ‘fine grain’ numbers.
R1b and 'H' are the most common DNA haplogroups in Europe.
Got a message that said I was probably R1b1b2 so I authorized an additional test to confirm that, FWIW. Apparently they can drill down deeper into the data in some cases where they have a larger database to work with.
Also authorized deeper drilling into the H parameter to see what that shows. It is amazing (to me) that they can take a totally unknown genetic sample and identify the owner so accurately to a small known geographic spot on earth.
Seems like this business is moving so fast that what we know today may seem pretty primitive in a decade or two.
I expect so. Especially in the medical/health area.

Are you part-Neanderthal?People of European descent may be 5% Neanderthal, according to a DNA study that counters the view that modern humans left Africa and replaced all other existing hominids. The same study, published in the latest issue of the journal PloS Genetics, also says West Africans could be related to an archaic human population... "Instead of a population that left Africa 100,000 years ago and replaced all other archaic human groups, we propose that this population interacted with another population that had been in Europe for much longer, maybe 400,000 years," says Vincent Plagnol... Using statistics and computer modelling, the researchers focused on linkage 'disequilibriums', or sections within genes that did not make sense if only modern human matings are considered... The scientists are not certain which early human group could have contributed to West African DNA, but both Europeans and Africans in the study showed about the same 5% archaic contribution. Neanderthals are believed to have originated in Africa around 400,000 years ago, but they left and then settled in Europe, hence the apparent lack of interaction with modern humans in Africa. Alan Templeton, professor of Evolutionary and Population Programs at the University of Michigan, has also conducted DNA studies and comes to similar conclusions... New technologies are being developed to sequence nuclear DNA from fossils, so in the near future, scientists may learn more about how modern human genes compare with those of archaic humans, like Neanderthals.

Reminder. This program about DNA is coming on in about 15 minutes.
pleasepleasePLEASE?
My cousins and their parents immigrated to NZ from Texas in the early 50’s. My aunt and uncle have passed on but the cousins are pure Kiwis.
Our very own Tennessee Nana is a transplanted Kiwi!
Hi Nana! At what age did you leave NZ and which island (if you don’t mind me being nosy)? my brother and his wife are returning from NZ tomorrow.
i.e. upgraded to maximum number of what's it's to analyze.
Reminds me. I need to call them. They promised something about Native American findings they have yet to deliver on.
Some interesting map stuff.
And, one can connect up with likely distant relatives.
My ancient sources range as far afield as India, Balkins, Middle East, Scandinavia, England, Scotland, Ireland and Cherokee.
Thx.
I think the folks are honorable about privacy etc.
However, I don’t trust privacy at all in our era.
I would personally, not doubt that the globalists could have access to anything they wanted . . . and I’m fairly confident they are in the middle of this National Geographic connected project.
I don’t know why the globalists are that interested in DNA but purportedly, they are. Gets into a whole ‘nother realm I’ll spare you on this thread! LOL.
I did it anyway.
I think it’s a worthy fun project. I hope a lot of folks do it.
I should check back in on the website. Been a while. New stuff evolves out all the time as more people join.
When I upgraded to the highest levels of analysis, the eventually had to send me a new kit. No sweat. Quite honorable on all such things. I think it’s a good organization.
Back in 1965 . . . my boss advised me to check the Boards of Directors . . . re globalists and their reach . . .
The Nat Geo was full of them.
My haplo group is not that common, IIRC . . .
and there can be a paucity of the sort of information one is eager to see at the foundational level of analysis.
That’s one reason I upgraded to the maximum number of—keep forgetting the keyword—thingy’s to analyze.
If there’s not a lot of other people from around the world with some of your stuff, you won’t likely get a very robust amount of information. If there is, there will likely be more interesting bits of information.
You should at least get the “deep in Africa” origins from say 10’s of millions of years ago and a map showing your ancestors’ migrations. Mine was complex and interesting with threads coming, as I noted, as far away as India.
I wouldn’t expect to be snowed under with pages and pages of info.
Hard to say if it’s worth it to a given individual. Depends on the level of curiosity, I guess.
Sure.
Was to begin with.
However, such forces are well able to get DNA samples any number of ways, should they so wish, almost 24/7 anyway—if it’s a sufficient priority for them.
God is still God and always will be God. I’m still His to take care of, regardless.
I prayed He’d mess up any bad aims with all such however He chose to.
It’s a curiosity I’ve long had so I felt the risk was worth it.
The PTB know where I live and what I’m about without DNA.
It was a globalist designed and implemented project from it’s beginning.
It spouted the globalist propaganda from the beginning.
It was used to help shape public and intellectual values and priorities from the beginning.
It has ALWAYS BEEN a tool of globalists seeking a tyrannical global government.
