    LivingDNA Small Percentages - A "real" ancestor, or not? (Chuvashia)

    All the tests I've done give me the result of 100% European or 100% British Isles. My Ancestry originally had me as 85% British Isles. The other 15% was Western European stretching from NE France to Denmark. The revised Ancestry results now have me at 100% British Isles. After making a few...

    Intelligence What characterises people with high IQ's ?

    That is due to their vanity and narcissism. They only kid themselves and others on that they are exceptional.

    Where and when appeared Celtic?

    You have only given us a history of the Halstatt/Central Europe Celts of the Iron Age. What about the Insular Celts of the British Isles and the coast of western Europe? These people were orignally Q speaking Celts (the Irish and Hebridean Scots still are). I read somewhere that the Insular...

    R1b-U152-Z71 Italo-Roman didn?t leave England after all?

    According to the sources that I have read, very few Italians came to Britain during the Roman occupation. Most of the people that the Empire brought to Britain were Gauls, Spanish and Germans. There was also a legion of Syrians who were claimed to have settled in NE England near Hadrian's Wall...

    Scotland and Greece Despite the fact that the two coutries are poles apart. i.e if we imagine a NW and SE axis between Europe's geographical extremes. The following YouTube shows the remarkable things the two nations having common. e.g. early Scottish kings had Greek names such as Alexander or...

    Intelligence What characterises people with high IQ's ?

    I've done a few IQ tests. My scores have varied between 109 and 142. The lowest score was on a televised test and the highest one was an on-line test. I did the supervised MENSA test and scored 135 - this was done in response to a MENSA trial test in a magazine that recommend doing the...

    Intelligence What characterises people with high IQ's ?

    LOL that reminded me of something I read in a book about WWII. According to the book, many Germans had the impression that the English were all blonde Anglo-Saxons, but got a culture sock when they first encountered the English. They found most of them to be short, dark guys who whistled a lot.

    Immigration Largest Italian, Irish, Polish, Greek cities in the world outside their home country

    Liverpool, Glasgow and maybe Manchester could have been added to the list. They all have significantly large numbers of people with Irish ancestry.

    What do you think of homosexuality (and gay marriage) ?

    I've made my point WRT gay marriage in the other gay thread. Regarding homoseuality - I have no problem with it. Provided that homosexuals have consenting relationships with adults and don't bore the rest of us to death by telling us how wonderful it is to be gay. BTW it is not as if a person...

    The Gay Marriage Controversy

    I don't have any issues WRT gay marriages. Nevertheless I do believe that people who are opposed to gay marriage due to religous reasons should have respect for their religous sensitivities. Some while ago there was a legal and moral controvesy regarding a Christian baker in Northern Ireland...

    Breakdown of R1b subclades by French region

    It is interesting to note the relatively high levels of R1b-U106. I expect that this will represent Frenchmen decended from the people who gave France its name: the Franks.

    R1b-L21 (S145) in Slovenia and Sicily?

    Yes, R1b-U106 does indeed represent the main AngloSaxon DNA marker, but the English people are a lot more diverse than being ' mostly R1b-U106'.

    R1b-L21 (S145) in Slovenia and Sicily?

    The Roman army often employed Gauls or Germani. So that should explain its occurence in that particular location.

    R1b-L21 (S145) in Slovenia and Sicily?

    Both the Vikings and Normans were in Sicily. Despite the fact that R1b-L21 is asscoiated with the Insular Celts, it was taken to Norway via migrations from Scotland and Ireland (mostly slaves). It was sometimes possible for a former slave to join Viking expeditions and Celtic DNA markers have...
