Are you kidding? They actually spent money on this?

Stealth Hunter · 03-04-08, 11:47 PM

Yep.

Heh, just drew the conclusion that the English are sort of bashing themselves when they go after the Irish/Scots.

That's a bit awkward.

Considering the fact that we can all be traced back geneticaly to the San(if i remember correctly) people from Africa it is not really a surprise, now is it.

Tchocky · 03-05-08, 04:33 AM

Think you mean, English, Irish, Scots.

EDIT - We more or less knew this already.

TarJak · 03-05-08, 04:58 AM

Wot about the Welsh then?

danlisa · 03-05-08, 05:40 AM

Sweet!

We Cornish are fine then.:rotfl:

Does this not tie back to the whole thing about that swath of land travelling south west across Scotland/Ireland/Wales/Cornwall/Brittany all being full of a bunch of Celts?

Am I right in thinking there are very few both genetically and geologically distinctive
peoples in Europe?

The Basques and Sammi are the only ones that spring to mind.

Europe has been a genetic melting pot for thousands of years, let alone England, Scotland and Ireland.

Personaly I decend from Scots, Germans and Hebrews and English.

Everyone is inbread.

Do the math, if everyone was the result of 2 unrelated parents, then the population of the
world at 1000BC would have been in the billions of trillions.

There is a lot of inbreeding!

IIRC there is greater genetic difference between different family groups of mountain gorrillas than there is in the whole of humanity.

Dose this make you my DNA wife?

Bloody hope not. :rotfl:
