    How One Woman Brought the 'Mother's Curse' to Canada

    There was a podcast in two parts at Maple Stars and Stripes on the topic: https://maplestarsandstripes.com/shownotes/mss-047-french-canadian-genetic-diseases-part-1/ https://maplestarsandstripes.com/shownotes/mss-048-french-canadian-genetic-diseases-part-2/ On top of the diseases listed on...

    If you are taller than 183 cm (6 feet), then what is your Y-DNA haplogroup ?

    I voted for my brother who is 6'2", R1b>R-DF27>R-DF16. My father was almost 6' and one of his brother was close to his height. Although, his father and his other brother were about 6'6". In my grand-father's generation, some of his brothers were tall (one was over 6', I don't have exact numbers...

    The Atlantic Megalith cultures were R1b.

    My take would be men are more dependent of their fathers' lifestyle and women more dependent of their husbands' lifestyle. Let take a bloodless, monogamous, consensual sex, without epidemics, without competition for land scenario, as family friendly as it could have been. Weather get bad in...

    SNP Assurance Program

    The probability you could be true E* is about nil, so you are likely some other subclade under E.

    Neurology Neanderthal vs human brain using computational anatomy

    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...

    Is your brain more Western or more Eastern? - part 1

    Exactly. Thanks for understanding even though I wrote groupe B instead of group A in the first paragraphe. -_- People who put the flower into group A are looking for a balance between the different elements, while people who chose group B are looking for an absolute element, regardless of how...

    Is your brain more Western or more Eastern? - part 1

    But on the other hand (the Eastern hand I guess xD ) flowers in group B only diverge from the norm by one element. One has no leaf, one has pointy petals, one has a double circle center. The fifth flower only diverge by the stem, which is consistent with the group. The four flowers of group B...

    Personality Is your brain more Western or more Eastern? - part 2

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

    Is your brain more Western or more Eastern? - part 1

    I chose A. 3/4 flowers have round petal, 3/4 flowers have single circle center and 3/4 have a leave. Only 1/4 has the right stem, but everything else is right. In group B, 1/4 flower has the right petal, 1/4 has the right center and 1/4 has a leave. Sure they all have the right stem, but...

    Recent reconstruction of Jomon woman

    I read an article about the subject a few months ago... https://www.nature.com/articles/jhg2016110 The conclusion is Jomon are different from anything modern, even if Japanese people are closest to them. In details, Ainu are the closest, although they are not pure Jomon. Then it's people from...

    Visual Arts Michelangelo 'self-portrait' found

    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

    G2a yet 90% sub Saharan African

    G2a3 can be found in Europe and Middle East. There is no massive intrusion of the haplogroup in Africa, but there are quite a lot of possible way for it to have made it to Africa. I could have been Phoenicians, Egyptians (who rules over the Levant for good parts of their history), Greeks (who...

    N1a but yet 90%SSA autosomal

    There were contacts all around Indian Ocean since far in Antiquity, by land and by sea. Probably someone took a wive in India or Middle East and ended up somewhere between Nubia and Zanzibar. Even if there never was a massive movement of population, women can be surprisingly mobile over the...

    Curse of Oak Island DNA

    He could just be Acadian, they had a village about 10 kilometers South West of Oak Island. Looking through the French Heritage DNA Project, there are a few French line under the T Y-haplogroup. Under the mt-haplogroup T, there's even Acadian settlers who are T. Marguerite Doucet was T2b7a2...

    Got my Y-Haplogroup + Subclade and wanna dig deeper, now what? (For dummies)

    To access Big Y, you need to buy Y37, Y67 or Y111. Y37 should enough for your need. STPs (short tandem repeats) are more useful for close genealogy. SNPs will give you a sharper haplogroup and that's where you need Big Y. So the way to do this is: 1) you check for coupons in the yDNA...

    Gencove

    Comparing my parents' and my sample (all of us should have North East Amerindians) with one of my grand-mother's sample (who should have only Europeans), the difference is trace amount of Asian DNA. Finnish, Siberian, Central Asian, South Asian, South East Asian, Oceanian, East Asian, a bit from...

    Is there a Y-DNA haplogroup associated with Neanderthals?

    A000 is still too close to us. They should be on an entire new alphabet, something like haplogroup α or א.

    23andMe Tracing the X chromosome

    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...

    23andMe Tracing the X chromosome

    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.
