I know I’m nerdy but I do find this stuff interesting.
Maybe this is a stupid question, but it seems with so little migration, that there would be a problem with inbreeding, yes?
An even more interesting survey would be of UK accents.
Ancestry.com is touting genetic analysis for its genealogy customers, and showing the results sometimes on the Genealogy Roadshow on PBS. Pretty cools stuff. I’m a bit skeptical of the data, but fascinating nevertheless..... I’d get the DNA test kit and do it myself if the price came down from $100 to say, $20. I’d prove I’m a mongrel, rather than simply suspect it.
