"The Genographic Project was launched by National Geographic in 2005 to help piece together a picture of how the Earth was colonised."

I had my DNA checked by these folks. My yDNA is R1b and my mtDNA is 'V'.

UC Davis Study Finds Distinct Genetic Profiles

Did they trace you back to anybody of significance?

Crusaders 'Left Genetic Legacy'

Is this anything like "Presidue"?

[mad puppy]

All part of the evil “ethnic bomb” being created by evil whitey. I heard that from a Minister in Illinois so it has to be true.

[outofstyle]

So might you be Irish?

These days, youth are content to tag buildings.

A little trans-generational graffiti is even more intriguing.

“Scientists have detected the faint genetic traces left by medieval crusaders in the Middle East.”

FAINT genetic traces, my foot. Visit Turkey, Syria and the Palestinian area in general and you’ll meet people with blue eyes and blond hair. These are the areas that were in the path that the Crusaders took on their way to the Holy Land. Does anyone think that the Crusaders practiced celibacy?

There is an important Lebanese Christian family named Franjieh. I remember reading once that the name derives from “Franks” (the general term for people from Western Europe) and that they believed themselves descended from the Crusaders. The DNA results would tend to bear that out (although I don’t know if any Franjiehs were included in the study).

I had my DNA checked by these folks. My yDNA is R1b and my mtDNA is 'V'.

So, you are typically British/NW European stock.

Both R1b and V come from the Basque area Franco-Iberian ice age refuge after the last glacial maximum, V beginning around 16k year ago and spreading north along the coast from the southern refuge after the LGM. V is not as common as the H haplogroup but R1b has about 90% frequency in the Basque region and spread from the southern refuge about the same time.

All of this is from "The Origins of the British" by Stephen Oppenheimer, part of my current reading list.

Mine is 100 proof.

How much did it cost.. if anything to get tested?
I’m curious about having it done myself.

Cool.

“Crusaders ‘Left Genetic Legacy’”

Although I only saw a couple of episodes of the “Cadfael” series on PBS,
IIRC, in one episode the ex-Crusader-turned-monk discovered a young
visitor from the Holy Land is likely his son.

The ME pop is a mixture of everybody on the planet since everybody on the planet has one time or another gone rampaging through there even before oil was discovered to have significant value.

Don’t believe much of it but a fun map of man’s supposed migration genetically etc. http://www.bradshawfoundation.com/journey/
