Word on the forum is this is the new code: LOYALFAN Good luck!

No, but my understanding it costs quite a bit more for shipping. Still it's $400 off - may be worth it if you know you're in the market. Btw, that promo code has ended. Word on the forum is new codes will be released at 10 am Pacific Time. I will check and post back if I can, otherwise I...

I can't believe no one else has answered this yet... I've read some studies of Roman DNA, and generally they look to the Etruscans, and the Tuscans. I saw one study that mentioned HV, and JT were prominent. In the study of the Tuscans, it was a pretty wide range of haplogroups, H being the...

They've got a new chip, the V.3 1,000,000 chip, and now they charge $5/month for a "subscription". If you're still interested, you'll need the Promo code - B84YAG https://www.23andme.com/store/cart/ I don't know how long the sale will last, rumor say's it's just today, so I wouldn't wait.

What a disturbing article...on so many levels. Nevertheless, I will say I had to take a round of steroids once and I was never happier. Guys have it easier, emotionally. Not having been a guy, but being a mother of a daughter and son, and being married for 15 years...I can say that guys have...

. So much for my Viking fetish...:grin:

Very rare indeed. In my group of 399 of 23andme Relative Finder cousins, I have 3 N1a's and 1 N1a'e'1. (This compares to 183 H's, 49 U's, 39 J's etc) One of the N1a's self identifies as Northern European, and based on my other RF, the other N's are likely European as well. Of the N's I share...

I'm just updating that this week, July 2010, is when I saw my first episode of the 2nd season of Being Human on BBC America!!!!! I think I could have swam to England in less time than it took the second season to be played here. What's the deal!!?? :angry:

The prevailing theory I've read is that early hominids had light skin, covered with hair. Darker pigments evolved due to hairlessness, perhaps for folate retention or skin cancer protection. Based on that, it seems to me evolution went from light to dark...to light for some. I don't think the...

This is an old link around here, but it's the one I have saved in bookmarks: http://www.buildinghistory.org/distantpast/ancientdna.shtml

I'm one of the lucky testers of 23andme's new Ancestry Finder, which I think is bearing out the theory you elucidated. At 5cM, using only old world countries, I'm 1.4% UK, .7 Ireland, .2 Spain, .2 Netherlands, and .2 Italy. Adding colonies: 26.1% US, .5 Canada, .2 New Zealand, .2 Australia...

I suspect a case of intergenomic conflict and sexual antagonism. Most people, scientists included, have pretty much assumed that genes and chromosomes work together for the good of the organism. Evolution works through cooperative mechanisms---survival of the fittest. Some have put forth the...

I imagine the original article was the one cited by ScienceDaily's write-up: "Common Genetic Threads Link Thousands of Years of Jewish Ancestry" In it, they state: "Within every Jewish group, there was a high degree of relatedness between any two of its members. For Ashkenazi Jews, the...

I have the bump. Not sure where I get it from...am Germanic/English/Scottish/Welsh/Irish...American mutt. I track with Norwegians, Icelanders, and Orcadians and have been told I have traits consistent with the Walloon. My haplogroup is from Germany. I share identical DNA on the X with a Swedish...

It's May 19th 2010 and I just saw the first add for the new season of Being Human on BBC America. Ugh...why must you torture us so???!!!! Does European TV show the Daily Show with Jon Stewart?

Blondie...Eat to the Beat. Excellent album, great songs. http://www.amazon.com/Eat-Beat-Blondie/dp/B000006T0D

All cynicism aside, I thought about it later and 4,200 is just too little money...you may have the very basics, but not enough to have fun. It works out to 136.00 a day-food, lodging, and transportation. Sure, maybe you can do it...but do you want to? If I went to Europe, I'd want to go to pubs...

So as an American, I should stay away from Europe? I guess that rules out reconnecting with the motherland, home of my ancestors. I remember another thread which essentially critisized Americans for not traveling more (i.e. Europeans were more worldly because they traveled more), but this...

I can't believe I'm 41 and just finding out I have a prostate!!! Also called the skene gland, it indeed is linked with female ejaculation. Makes perfect sense, of course, but here in the US, such things are pretty taboo. Can a woman have prostate cancer? Why don't we get our PSA numbers checked...

As an American who is equally uninformed about the European Union, I looked it up. First, here's a copy of the original "Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union", which was signed in 2000 and contains 54 articles which are sufficiently vague to be left up to individual countries...
