A thread to suggest new famous R1a individuals. My own first suggestion is the outlaw Jesse James. A descendant of his grandfather reverend John Martin James (1775-1827) has tested R1a on the James Y-DNA project These two I have posted before, but I will mention them here again for the sake of...

I don't see a thread on famous E1b1b individuals yet, so I thought it might be a good idea to start one. The first candidate I would like to propose is Metallica singer James Hetfield. According to geni.com, he is a descendant of Valentine Hatfield (1767-1840) of Russell county, Virginia...

From what I see around me, males who are most likely to obtain some material success and reproduce are agreeable and conscientious. They may not be wildly imaginative or attractive, but they do well in college and they make suitable employees and husbands. Extremely successful men tend to be...

I think power is an element here, but ideology is also important; according to the postmodern left, Western culture is evil, as Western man is evil, and so if both disappear as a result of mass-immigration that is something to watch with glee.

The disadvantage of calling the conflicts of 1914-1918/1939-1945 the first and second world war is that it suggests that previously no other wars had been fought on a global scale, which is of course not true. But I think calling the Seven Years War WW I suggests too much of a difference...

Pushkin's haplogroup is mentioned on Poreklo. Of the others the ancestry can be found on geni.com (assuming the information there is correct). I give the name and dates of the ancestor whose haplogroup is mentioned on family tree dna. Alexander Pushkin R1a John Hawkins (Andrew Hawkyns...

Actor Lee Van Cleef (the Bad in "The Good, the Bad & the Ugly") may have belonged to Y-DNA-Haplogroup Q. According to geni.com his first known paternal ancestor was Jan Van Cleef (Amsterdam 1628 - New York 1698). This man moved from The Netherlands to the colony of Nieuw-Nederland (later renamed...

https://www.geni.com/projects/South-African-Y-DNA-Male-Progenitors/17866 https://www.familytreedna.com/public/CapeDutch/default.aspx?section=yresults On these websites we can find the Y-DNA-haplogroups of some South African families. It seems these prominent Afrikaners belong to the following...

Ben Carson, the African-American neurosurgeon and Trump-supporter, belongs to haplogroup R1a, according to the book "Finding Your Roots." I mention this because I don't see his name on the famous people-section of the R1a-page yet - I don't know if I'm saying something new or if Carson is not...

There has been a discussion on this forum about the influence of the Y-haplogroup on a man's looks. Now the genitalia are, as far as I can see, the one part of the body whose appearance is most likely to be influenced by the Y-haplogroup. Has there ever been any research on this? I'm sorry to...

I was looking at the R1b map on eupedia the other day, andinteresting and admirably made as it is, I suddenly got the unpleasant feelingI was staring at a bag of cut off testicles. I mean, this is a historical map,a map of something disappearing. Today Europe is undergoing genetic changesunseen...

It is a leader's task to defend his nation's interests. Therefore Merkel is a terrible leader. She puts the interests of Middle Easterners over those of her own people. That is betrayal, no matter what moral platitudes she uses to defend her behaviour. She resembles an attorney in a lawsuit who...

I think the mistake is to see Islam as a religion like any other. Islam is much stronger political aspirations than most other religions, and the Ummah in some ways more resembles a nation than a religious community. Unlike Buddhism or Christianity, Islam was founded with the sword. It does not...

I know very little about genetics and I don't know anything about the Y chromosome apart from the fact that it determines that you are a male. I could imagine though that different Y haplogroups, since they contain different mutations, produce different hormone levels and thus influence your...
