Yes, I've noticed this too with most Asians and Horn Africans. I don't know, if what you say, it being to do with mtDNA, but most of that region are very ancient haplogroups, for example haplogroup M.

Yes, I think you could be right.

Haplogroup X among Native Americans could have been brought to America by a Viking woman during the time of Leif Ericson's discovery of Vinland.

You have confused two maternal lines. Queen Victoria was Queen Marie of Romania's paternal grandmother. However, Queen Marie and her paternal grandfather Prince Albert shared the same matrilineal line. King Michael I of Romania, his Mother - Princess Helen of Greece and Denmark, her Mother -...

Agnetha from Abba has mongoloid features. For example, many Slavic (Polish and Russian) and Celtic (Irish) people have mongoloid features too.

I've had a theory for a long time about whether Y-chromosome haplogroup E was the progenitor of curly and wavy haired Europeans. It's quite interesting to know. This is a thread to discuss any physical features

I thought I'd post this interesting link from wikipedia. Nelson Mandela is a member of the oldest mtDNA haplogroup in the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_haplogroups_of_historical_and_famous_figures

Anyone watched her interesting documentries? Coast The Incredible Human Journey Time Team Costing the Earth (BBC Radio 4) Digging for Britain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Roberts

I don't know about, it may seem a bit of a cheek of me asking.

I thought I read somewhere that King Louis XVI of France's mtDNA haplogroup was N1b?

Hi Brad Mountbatten was Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh's maternal uncle. His mother, Victoria of Hesse was the eldest sister of Alexandra Feodorovna, the last empress of Russia. Their mtDNA haplogroup was H (Helena). I don't know about his and George V's Y-DNA, though.

Thanks, but, unfortunately, I'm not Lazuri. A friend of mine is, he's from Batumi, Georgia. I think we need Lazuri members to help us with this.

I hope you don't mind, Maciamo, but I thought I'll add some more royalty of interest to that excellent list you've made. Kings & Queens of England or Great Britain Anne of Denmark (1574-1619) => T2 (mtDNA) Mary of Teck (1867-1953) => H (mtDNA) Edward VIII (1894-1972) => H (mtDNA) George VI...

The Seven Daughters of Ursula U1 (Una) U2 (Uta) U3 (Uma) U4 (Ulrike) U5 (Ursula) U6 (Ulla) U7 (Ulaana)

Some haplogroups are still left without a name. I think it's good to use names when discussing a particular haplogroup (unless referring to subclades), it helps to avoid confusion with Y-DNA haplogroups. I wish Y-DNA had names to. A (Aiyana) B (Ina) C (Chochmingwu) D (Djigonasee) E (Emiko)...

I have read other sources say I and W are older than U5a and HV but according to this from wikipedia they are younger than U5a and HV :confused2:

If U5a and HV were the first and second wave of cro-magnons in europe, then where does that leave I and W? were they perhaps neanderthals? i'm sorry, but i'm just confused with the ages of all haplogroups.

Yes, it's U5a.

yes, i think that's more possible. i would guess demi moore and johnny depp to possibly be an amerindian mtdna haplogroup.

i'm ursula. one of the oldest clans in europe. my ancestors would have encountered the neanderthals.
