I've had my genome tested for ancestry by both 23andMe and FTdna and I've downloaded the raw data (all the A, C, G and Ts). 23andMe say that I have 2.5% Neanderthal ancestry. Is there any way I can find out precisely which genes, or more exactly, phenotypes I have inherited from Neaderthals...

I also read that Europe underwent...

Hi, Does anyone know of a place where I can get good estimates of all the known (or at least quite common) mtDNA haplogroup divergence dates. Like when did M diverge from L3 or K from U8b? Even better would be if the estimate were accompanied by a reasonable guess as to where the divergence...

Hi, Where does the data underlying Eupedia's beautiful maps come from? Thanks, Paul
