Those results are similar to mine, which is expected as I am Maltese born of Maltese born people going back as far as I can find. Those results can be distorted by marriage practices and chance. One man or woman could have given me all my North European, and that has come to me through genealogy...

I would say, not hospital wards but the practice of swaddling babies making look like mummies, and laying them flat on a hard surface, like a wooden crib. It is unattractive by-the-way, that flattened occiput.

Interesting. I remember reading that the overbite came about due to the usage of cutlery. In the times of hunter gatherers they would grab a piece of meat, place it in their mouths, and cut a smaller piece off by a stone tool. So their teeth meet one on top of the other, no overbite or...

Looks like Gianfranco Forni should get back into the oven as he is underdone. This is where people who go on about haplogroups are so far up their rear ends. The male Basques may be high in R1b. So what? They have Steppe herder ancestry like most Europeans, and in most cases, language is passed...

I don't agree. Atheists do not have a religion, that is nothing that can equate to a faith or religion. Most people have some sort of religious beliefs even the dreaded, and dreadful SJW folk, it is just nominal or wishy-washy, it is still religious. I can only speak for myself, every religious...

Knowing you are being watched just makes you craftier, and careful. Like you lived under some sort of Police State or under the KGB. I grew up in a suburb when people knew their neighbors, I learnt as a child that even if I was quite a few km from home or my community, my mother would know where...

That does not sound cosmopolitan to me. Having lots of ethnic groups speaking their own language in the same place does not make that place cosmopolitan. Every Australian city has lots of immigrants from around the world even my small town of 25,000 people. I mean people from all over Australia...

You did not mention the Ukraine as part of Bessarabia is in the Ukraine. And Chisinau is in the Republic of Moldova, not Romania. Why do you want it? Moldovia is one of the poorest parts of Europe, and the government is quite inept. Romania is a better option.

The trouble with that PCA diagram Maciamo posted from the study is it is really disingenuous. They used a limited number of modern reference samples, and in terms of DNA studies, old hoary ones. Example, the Adeghe, the 8 Tuscans (TSI), the 13 Bergamo Italians and so on. Those samples come from...

Yes it is a bad joke. The Keltic thing about Stonehenge, all those idiots in white robes and funny hats pretending to be Druids. It is not just women who are ignorant but lots of people of both genders. They think they are connected to Cheddar Man, a WHG, placed in a cave after death and...

FTDNA is well known to be slow, and late with results. I don't consider testing 111 STRs of much value, as few men opt for that, so you cannot compare. The thing with STRs that I found valuable is STRs with unusual values, I have one which is 8 when the usual is 14 - 15, and those men who match...

Yes so of those women are beautiful, others not really. My question: What makes those women Mediterranean? Anyone can be born in Spain, Italy, Greece, Southern France and Croatia. Personally I prefer Anglo-Saxons, Mediterranean women look like my mother and sisters.

I should have been more specific. All the ancients were very divergent from each other, WHG, EHG, CCG, Anatolian farmers, Levantine farmers, Iranian farmers, and so on, more divergent from each other than a general West Eurasian European is from a general East Eurasian. Modern populations in...

The R haplogroups, R1b and R1a, are the most common in Western Europe, and Eastern Europe respectively. They are mainly due to Steppe dwelling herders, Yamnaya etc, who moved into Western, West Central, and Eastern Europe (Western Russia, Poland..) during the Bronze Age. Those men killed off...

Autism is mainly due to older men producing children. Men are responsible for most mutations during spermagenesis, women produce chromosomal errors. There are more and more Males in Western countries reproducing at an older age. And there is a reason why Sperm Banks reject men over 48. Most...

I am new as well, but I have dabbled in genetics for a while. Haplogroups are given too much emphasis in ancestry and it represents one line of ancestry which can be quite ancient and of general indication of the place of origin. In your wife's case it is sub Saharan Africa. As elghund said, the...

Yes, well the foreign contingent shifted to Constantinople along with the Emperor and governing body. Italia and Roma lost their importance, and the immigrants moved on and other people from the north moved in.

I have never gotten the importance people place on haplogroups. I do not know the subclades of the haplogroups of Maltese men but I know the base haplogroup of some surnames. Attard: E-V13, Schembri: J2, Agius: G2, Portelli: R1a, Zammit & Azzopardi & Cassar are subclades of R1b, Vella & Micallef...

I think you are missing the point. The Iranian Farmers and the Caucasus Hunter Gatherers are not Iranians or Caucasians, they are ancient samples found from places called now the Caucasus and Iran and and may have given little ancestry to modern Caucasian groups or Iranian populations. Having...

SZ19's genetic profile has nothing to do with Mytrueancestry, it comes from genetic testing of remains from Langobard cemeteries in Italy and Hungary. Maybe the researchers were wrong, or they did not use a wider array of reference samples instead of the TSI (Tuscan) or the IBS (Spanish) or the...
