Maybe it depends on the severity of the condition; it is a broad spectrum; in my family there are several people who can be described as highly intelligent, leaning towards Asperger, I think in such "less severe" cases, people are more likely to maintain a relatively normal family life than...

X-chromosomes inherit in a choppy way, the father just gives his mother's one to his daughter unchanged, the mother generally gives through a blend of her father's and mother's, however, there are quite some cases in which mothers too give just one of theirs unchanged. I would say because there...

So this is about the assets one has? Cars, houses, etc.? I can imagine additional differences in for example taxing leads to different purchasing power rates.

@Maciamo, you may find my post here interesting;

Interesting; I remember seeing elsewhere a few Brits who had Tuscan as well, though most did not have it. They give me 68,8% GB (most SE England, Lincolnshire, East Anglia), and then interestingly 19% Scandinavian and 1,5% Germanic (I would expect it the other way around; I am mostly...

Lots of tests are heavily discounted this August; A Big Y test is now $395, saving $200. I thought about giving it a try.. it needs more Dutch samples. Watch out for overspending though, these tests are addictive for many of us :p

They should get Ashkenazi references; however, they like to assign DNA to regions on maps, and that poses a problem for "wandering" populations.

In my case, my 1/16 Jewish seems to have been represented by Living DNA, by lack of a Jewish cluster, as a mixture of Kurdish, Iberian and West-Balkan. In some cases, people without Jewish ancestry also get this Kurdish. I have also seen some Brits who got Pashto, which seems to be connected...

It seems that gedmatch (the original, not the genesis) doesn't batch process the LivingDNA files completely somehow; apparently you will therefore not see a list of potential matches (one-to-many list), which makes it difficult to point out your matches. You can use the one-to-one matching tool...

correction: the autosomal raw file does indeed seem to contain 600k SNPs. It is just the batch-processing at regular gedmatch that doesn't work properly, which does only make the one-to-many comparison not possible. It does work at genesis gedmatch; likely later this year these databases will be...

The txt-file doesn't seem complete yet, they are probably working on that.

Does the tokenizing and batch processing work well with you at regular Gedmatch? It says maybe "too few SNPs". Several tools work, but I would also like to use one-to-many.

In general, the only thing bothering me is the lack of Jewish clusters; my 1/16 Jewish is assigned to Kurdish, Iberian and West-Balkan, which to me is in correspondence to a mix of pre-Arab levantine (West-Asian) with Mediterranean and (for Ashkenazi) some Eastern European.

Yes, I had almost 70% British, but all clustering in regions in (South-)East England, the regions most close to the Netherlands.

I got my results, which I did expect in July; relatively well assigned. My Dutch ancestry was however generally assigned to East English and Scandinavian. Overall I think they are more clear than some other companies. mt-dna was W5, which is interesting; y-dna was R-U152. I expected a more...

The linguisti part of the paper, only two of the fourteen pages, links the development of a pre-proto-Germanic to interaction of Corded Ware with Funnelbeaker, for Germanic probably around Denmark, which isn't clear from the abstract. It isn't specifically worked out though. Important is that...

Very nice. Of course some media outlets twisted the words, claiming "a new goddess was discovered", whereas Uni has been known for years.

The Dutch Jewish population only began to grow in the 17th century, reaching about 150k just before the war; only 30k remained afterwards. It was mainly an urban population; mixture with non-jews was low, but did occur, but mostly since the late 19th century. Therefore I think most Dutch have no...

For expansion it's too early, but for the split of dialects from the other IE dialects, it is possible.

Ok then. R1b-M269 might have had some individuals being incorporated in the spread of the Neolithic. But wouldn't that mean this guy was of an early branch? He could have been from the introduction of the Chalcolithic in Southern Spain, or a "traveller/merchant" from over sea (is that...
