He's over 9000 years old, the tribes we know today were probably not there yet and the would intermarry on various occasions, so... He's more an ancestor, or at least a cousin, to many of the existing tribe around where he was found.

I heard from a researcher in sexology that anything self reported is unreliable. Everyone will inflate their number not to look like a looser, because they already saw older studies with self inflated numbers and feel like a looser from the get go.

Ever heard of the Flynn effect? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flynn_effect Basically, the score "100" is an average, which went up slowly for about 3 points a decade since the first tests in th 1930s. Average scorers on today's tests get much higher results on the early versions of IQ tests...

I went for A and B because the form is the same.

It took a while before I spot him, but I manage to see after a few minutes. I redraw... ok more like butchered, the contour of the form.Edit: I'm not sure... did it work for you guys? Edit: maybe a .png is too exotic, let's try a .jpeg

Angela, there's always a possibility of unrecorded adoption, but since your parents and their family were both in Italy, I would guess a cousin from the same area moved to America or Germany earlier. Or one German moved to America while a brother or cousin moved to Italy. There's also the...

I have unexplained X-match with English-German, too. I am wondering whether the X DNA is less diverse than the rest of the genome, leading to more false positive. My tree is full up to the 9th generation and quite complete up to the 12th.

A paper published in Nature where they study the descendants of one of Quebec settlers, carrier of the mt-mutation T14484C. This one is know to favor Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy. Studying the lifes of her mt-descendants through the extensive Quebec genealogy database, it seems the males...

They always seems to start with mtDNA, probably to test whether there is enough DNA left to do anything, and later push on with autosomal DNA, including Y. I have no doubt will have everything within a few years.

What about Marie Curie? Without her and her husband works, there is no atomic bomb, no Hiroshima and Nagazaki, no cold war, no medical isotope, no radio therapy, no nuclear power plants, no Chernobyl, no Fukushima, no radio isotope for dating in archaeology, and a lot more. Plus, her influence...

I would need to have her tested and compare our genome on gedmatch, but the chances that the odd mutations will happen to be on the character genes...

Some of it is genetic, but some is just finding one's place in regard to the other sibling(s). I have an identical twin sister, and although we are genetically the same, my mother nicknamed me the leader of opposition. I was the one who would test the rules and my trade mark line was "it's not...

True Europeans would be Neandertals, anyone else is just super late comer. ^_~
