There was an interesting program on public TV about the Druzes a few months ago. They actually seemed to have a quite attractive culture, especially for that corner of the world. Can’t really blame them for not wanting to mix with most of what surrounds them.

The info about the Ojibway Indians having 25% x perhaps adds to the possibility that Clovis culture may have been influenced by French Solutrian stone age culture traveling to this continent. Also, does anyone know the haplogroup for the Basques?

The information about possible male contribution to mitochondrial DNA is quite interesting. Also, I wonder if the rate of mutation takes into consideration possible changes in cosmit inputs. I am thinking specifically about Firestone’s book about Cosmic Catastrophes and 3 major blasts of different types over almost 30,000 years.

I have to laugh, those sexy mitochondria, really mixing things up for serious scientists.

Yup. My thoughts too.

Indians on the east coast have 'sticky' ear wax like Europeans and Africans...Indians on the west coast have 'flaky' ear wax like Asians.
