I am not. Mostly I find it amusing, but at times, saddening as it indicates prejudice and ignorance. It is not my place to educate the Proles of this world.<br /><br />There is just too much reliance on haplogroups. Being R1b or R1a or I1 or U5a1 or V does not make you uber European. It just means you have those haplogroups. As yet no one has found the origin points of the R1 family, R1a and R1b in Asia, and when they split off from other east Eurasian originated haplogroups. No one has discovered the origin point of the whole haplogroup I* family, and explained how I* and J* could have arisen from the precursor haplogroup IJ. It begs credulity to believe men of haplogroup IJ sudddenly became I* in Europe, and J in Asia or I* developed from IJ first in Europe, then J* developed some thousands of years later in Asia from the same IJ. Come on, it makes no sense. Either way IJ was in Europe and Asia for IJ to go the I* and J* routes.<br /><br />Jews are just Europeanized Middle Easterners, probably more European than Middle Eastern. Southern Europeans are Europeans who have been Middle Easternized due to various migration events starting from the Neolithic farming even of the Holocene climate change, and some additional accretions due to stray Muslim Arabians. The mix may be similar but the result is different in both cases, the Europeans and the Jews, plus in Europeans few have been untouched by the Neolithic farmers except some Saami and Finns, who entered their part of Europe after the Neolithic peoples had already colonized the lands worth farming in Europe.<br /><br />If anyone is interested by Promethease Report is public.

They are bombed by the propaganda of some Lebanese, like the richest man over the world, who certainly has his purposes. And I too used a colorful language: "If you feel a mongrel, it doesn’t mean that we Europeans feel the same and above all that we want to become it".<br /><br />The question is deeper: I am probably the first in the world to support an "Out of Italy" at least for R1b1*, and it seems to me that the last findings more and more are giving reason to me. We shall see when we have the aDNA.<br /><br />This night I received my FGS from FTDNA: not only I am K1a1b1, like I knew, but a rare mutation (9932) links me to an American probably of Italian extraction (this is sayng the same Ian Logan). Then my Y and my mt are Italian from at least 10,000 years. I confide that the Jewish-like position of Vizachero, the Lebanese of Ponto or others will be defeated.

My mother's family are all of American Colonial descent, mostly English with some Huguenot.<br /><br />My DNA Tribes results said that I had the greatest affinities with Eastern Anatolia. Odd given my known ancestry.<br /><br />So I had SNP and STR testing done with FTDNA which reveled my Y-chromosome to be G2a3a (M406.) This particular SNP probably originated near Lake Van in Eastern Anatolia which was part of Greater Armenia of Late Antiquity and the Early Medieval periods and after that periodically so until the 1300s.<br /><br />Based on TMRCA calculations using STR values, have several DNA cousins in Spain and in Colombia at less that 800 years. My next nearest relatives are Armenians, a man from Cyprus, a Turk from eastern Turkey near Trebizond and a Greek man. Seems to bear out the DNA Tribes information.<br /><br />DNA Tribes also showed some slight affinities to Amerindian Tribes which further investigation showed several possibilities in my mother's family and one in my Father's family from a woman born in Mexico who returned to Arrasate to marry and have children.<br /><br />Given the military tradition in my family, I suspect that we came west as soldiers in the 1100s when Eudokia Komnene came west to marry the King of Aragon in the late 1170's. She actually ended up marrying the Count of Montpelier and her daughter married a subsequent King of Aragon.<br /><br />THe arms originally granted to the Bolinaga were three eastern crowns of gold in field of blue "palo in puesto." The eastern or antique crowns are unusual in Spanish heraldry and may indicate something of the origin of the family -- from the east perhaps. There were subsequent granting of arms to Bolinaga from Eskoriatza for las Navas de Tolosa 1212 and the taking of Baeza in Jaen on the feast day of San Andres in 1227. Extant Pleitos of Hidalguia from the 1600s to the early 1800s indicate the right of my known ancestors to these devices.<br /><br />You can see some of these documents in Google Books. <br /><br />Andres Bolinaga<br />Nire aitaren etxea defendituko dutBolinagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540899814735176413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-41910053983067495252009-12-20T16:36:38.869+02:002009-12-20T16:36:38.869+02:00"Autosomal DNA also considers Iranians to be ..."Autosomal DNA also considers Iranians to be Europeans..what a joke"<br /><br />Well...<br />19th century racists considered Iranians to belong to the European Race.<br /><br />Language Science consideres their language to be "Indoeuropean".<br /><br /><br />The Bible rates Iraq to be Semitic but Iran (Persia) to be equal in anchestry to Greeks, Romans, Spanish and Skythians.<br /><br />There is kind of a tradition to rate Iran ("Land of the Aryans") to be European. ;)Fantyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969348276219179258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-66830468474652886492009-12-20T16:29:59.758+02:002009-12-20T16:29:59.758+02:00"Where does it make that claim?

I am founding many Italians, those who on the first 12 markers match North–African E-M1813 and were ascribed by many scholars to a Berber ancestry, who are very different from those in other markers and their relatedness, if there is, is certainly more ancient than Middle Age. See 2PZHV (D’Orazio) and many other Europeans who match him and 7PPX6 (Fouhal from Algeria): DYS464d of D’Orazio =20 is very far from North-Africans and CDYa,b (fast mutating markers) of other Europeans demonstrate a separation of thousands of years.<br />If you feel a mongrel, it doesn’t mean that we Europeans feel the same and above all that we want to become it.Gioiellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00999270356447668208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-57005433493334477822009-12-20T13:05:56.701+02:002009-12-20T13:05:56.701+02:00Where does it make that claim? For Southern Europe...Where does it make that claim? For Southern Europeans.<br /><br />It is interesting. With all the SNP studies now being done, we are getting a truer picture of various ethnic groups and nationalities. Gone is the day where it was claimed that Argentinians were just Europeans in the Southern Hemisphere. When everyone can see for themselves that Argentinians don't look wholly European.<br /><br />On the YHRD database, I have a genetic cousin, it is just based on a small number of STRs from Argentina, Mendoza city, in the western desert region. My other three cousins are from Northern Portugal near Galicia. Pity the database does not contain more STRs.<br /><br />I have tested for those Autosomal STRs on FTDNA. I have used two databases which gave strange results. One gave, Caucasian North American population first place, second place, Hispanic North American population. WTF! The other database gave Ireland first place followed by Belgium. Again, WTF, but at least it was Europe not North American mongrelised Whites.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-49928774728018845062009-12-18T18:39:14.444+02:002009-12-18T18:39:14.444+02:00Autosomal DNA is from ALL lines.

This was argued in some paper in relation with Colombians and X-DNA patterns (from memory). <br /><br />The inverse applies for the Amerindian ancestry logically. <br /><br />In what regards to African ancestry, I can only imagine that, not being Argentina ever a plantation type of colony, this blood already arrived in mixed individuals, maybe from other Latin American countries such as neighboring Brazil or other Spanish colonies. This would account for a high likelihood that the African haploid lineages had been already lost in the admixture process in most individuals who anyhow had some African ancestry by other lineages. <br /><br />It's 500 years... 25 generations roughly... 33,554,432 theoretical individual ancestors (most could be repeated by several lines, of course). Haploid lineages only tell of two.Majuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369840391933337204noreply@blogger.com
