New twist on DF27 Now that some time has passed and the methodologies for Y-DNA analysis have become more advanced and commonplace, we need to revisit the idea of the origin on R1B-DF27. The old analysis from the 2017 paper used basic SNP testing and STRs - very rudimentary tactics compared to...

Ancestry released a new ethnicity update this week. For typical white Americans I notice a trend of reporting higher Irish/Scottish than before. Example, raising me from 10% to 23%. I also notice a trend of overreporting small amounts of Scandinavian in typical US southerners. Some are...

I found this interesting.

I downloaded a BAM viewer (IGV) and obtained the CL63 BAM from NCBI. I looked at CL63. Results: Z63+, S2077+, PR683+, L1237- Sample SZ45 is L22, P109, and some downstream. It's being added to YFull.

C6 is not an accurate way to describe Y-DNA. Chances are you are quoting very old ISOGG nomenclature. Use SNPs such as C-V20. https://yfull.com/tree/C/

Remember this is probably spurred in part by the revelations about Apple purposefully slowing down older models for no reason but to encourage the owner to purchase another Apple product. A four year old iPhone would have still been working in good order if they had not been purposefully...

All of the kits uploaded to my Ancestry account have received the update. For the kits that I "manage," none of them have been updated. I think each owner needs to login to get the update. Mine is more accurate, dropping off phantom Iberian and correctly placing it in English/Irish. It took...

Jennifer Connelly, as described in the original poll as a dark haired celt. Some Colombian beauty queens have knockout looks with this complexion too. Gene Tierney (Irish-American) Liz Taylor would not be as celtic but the looks I can approve. Though personality matters to me a great deal.

The Transgender military scenario was only 1 year old when rescinded, with good reason. The GLAAD article is somewhat hilariously biased though. Trump was the first president to appoint an openly gay ambassador (to Germany, sworn in by Pence (haha)). Trump has always been one to hire the best...

Graphically presented, the breakdown of the big 3 branches as a total of I1 in a country.

Here is total I1 percentage of the population by country, with the percent of the "big 3" in the total population shown in the right 3 columns. This makes it easy to see that England and Germany were close, with Viking settlement raising the I1a1 later.

Percent I1a1 of total I1 in a country (includes large branch of L22) Percent I1a1 of the population in a country

Percent of I1a2 within the I1 population (Z58, Z60, Z140, etc) Percent of population that is I1a2 Note, not many subclades of I1 were identified in Slovakia, so the sample size is probably too small.

I have taken the numbers generously compiled by Expredel to make the following tables: 1. Percent of I1a3 (Z63) of total I1 in a country (column K) 2. Percent of I1a3 (Z63) of total population in a country (column L) England/Netherlands and UK/Germany similarity shows that Z63 was a small...

S2078 is everywhere - too general to define by any group. There are some clear Gothic branches though like in the attached image. Other than using Yfull and FTDNA I have not seen good breakdowns of I1 subclade distributions by area. So the Goths left a good contingent behind in Slavic...

I think it probable that a large component of the attack vector of IE expansion was disease. I've been reading about Central and South American events and it's truly horrific what happened from old world diseases alone. I would venture a guess that all of the enormous expansions and...

This is true. It's also true that Hungarians and others have seen the impact and failure to assimilate too many migrants in some Euro countries. It also angers them to be told by EU leadership that they must accept them. The entire concept of being forced to accept them is perplexing. Why are...

I can tell you that the natives I know are anti-immigration. They wish their ancestors had taken that stance in the 1600's.

President Trump is the first US President to support gay rights fully from candidacy. President Obama was not supportive of gay rights during his first candidacy, but later supported the idea when he was in office.
