My DNA results are in; I had almost forgotten this. Last night just as I was shutting my computer it occurred to me to check my Email I did and there it was; I don’t know how long it had been waiting. This came about because my wife expressed doubts about me having Mexican ancestors.
She couldn’t see how two brown eyed people could have a blue eyed child; both my mother and my father had and have brown eyes. I tried to explain to my wife that it didn’t work that way. My grandfather on my mothers side had blue eyes and my Mexican father was half Mexican and we have no idea what DNA I inherited on the white side. My results are heavy for Iberian peninsula ( Spanish ) and native American ( Indian) the two ancestries that make up the majority of Mexicans. What do you think?

Soon, I’ll post my farewell message. The end is starting to get close. There are many misconceptions about me, and before I go, to live with my ancestors on the steppes, I want to set the record straight.

2% eh? This video might come in handy if you ever visit the folks:
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Someone in your ancestry was having some fun in the slave quarters.

And here I thought you were checking to see how much was 'human' and how much was 'other'.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Are you implying I should be ashamed of my African ancestry ( They mean Negroid, black )? IT is just a fact, why should I be ashamed of that. Being a southerner I am surprised it is not 4 %. Most likely the only reason it is not 4% is that my Mexican father had zero percent black ancestry.

Re: My DNA results are in
Can anyone explain what those percentages mean?
Re: My DNA results are in
I don't think the major grouping, versus sub-groups are very well split out. They did add up to 100%, so the math works out.

Re: My DNA results are in
Shouldn't we all have at least a small percentage African DNA?

Absolutely. Adam & Eve were Africans. We're all related to those two...

Anyone recall this short-lived TV series from the very early 1960's?

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news ... wells.htmlBy analyzing genetic changes in the Y-chromosome of people in all regions of the world, Wells and colleagues concluded that all humans alive today are descended from a single African man. "We're all effectively cousins, separated by 2,000 generations," he said.

Well that explains the fix the world is in...We're all effectively cousins
Way too much inbreeding...
Re: My DNA results are in
Humans and chimps share a surprising 98.8 percent of their DNA, some humans have a higher percentage than others, obvs
