Wrong. Hence the reason why transgenders and/or intersex people are easily spotted by 23andme regardless of the gender they’ve chosen.

Many of these guys have fathers who are either R1b or R1a yet they still get reported as “female”. How come? BTW, what other haplogroups are defined by a SRY mutation? Also, is it safe to say that a full Y chromosome is needed for a paternal haplogroup assigment?

One thing that intrigued (and arguably puzzled) me is the fact that I’ve seen SRY-positive XX males on 23andme (AKA XX males carrying translocated Y genetic material on either their paternal X or their autosomes) who despite their Y related genes got still reported as “female” by 23andme (i.e...

If “she” has a Y-DNA haplogroup (and therefore a Y chromosome), then “she” is genetically male period. In that case, it would be more accurate to say “she” thought that “she” was a biological woman.

Don't any of you think it is unbelievable how can smart people, such as Maciamo and bicicleur, support a second referendum (which is anti-democratic in both theory and practice)? BTW, David Lammy can always go back to Guyana if he's not happy with the decision of 52% of the British people (after...

Oh come on Maciamo! Do you really think I'll believe those unsourced percentages? I mean why would London have a Muslim mayor if not a very significant part of its population is Muslim? And most (though not all) of the areas you mentioned voted mostly in favour of Remain anyway, so my point...

Perhaps, but that still doesn't change the fact that London (1) is the most Muslim city in Britain, (2) has a Muslim mayor, and (3) is the least ethnically English part of England. In other words, London fits all the "requirements" for being a pro-Remain area IN ENGLAND (because Scotland and...

Why not? London(istan) is hardly English anymore!

Maciamo, I'm baffled by the fact that you're repeating the controlled media's scaring tactics! The EU didn't do much for Britain anyway. It's also really not surprising that the LEAST British part of England (London(istan)) voted more in favour of Remain than Leave.

I agree with Aberdeen when he says that most of these West Eurasian lineages found in modern tribal Siberians can be attributed to the Mongol Empire. However, I'm not saying Maciamo's wrong when he says that there might be Indo-European subclades among all these West Eurasian markers. I just...

I would say it was neither. Maybe the original hg P* carriers looked somewhat similar to Northwest Coast Amerindians( in other words, they had phenotypes within the range of these people: http://firstpeoplesofcanada.com/fp_groups/fp_nwc1.html). Who knows really...

I would say it's rather hg R that deserves the title of the most "multiracial" haplogroup...

Even if the original R1 man had "dark" skin, that doesn't mean he was a "Negroid". BTW, I do not take "molecular clocks" seriously anymore nor the mainstream "out-of-Africa" theory for that matter. I think both are nonsensical outdated "theories". And both are being contradicted by a bunch of...

Well someone with such discipline and a tough-mind would not be making such bizarre and non-sensical claims as hg R1 being originally a "Negroid" haplogroup. BTW, I find it odd that you claim to be a forensic anthropologist and yet can not make a distinction between "Australoid" and "Negroid".

Thanks for the link. So it is not even Jean M who's made the claim but jeanL( an even more random amateur!). It seems even Jean M is suspicious of the claim! Even though I disagree with Manco on a lot of things, I'll stand with her on this one.
