Geneticists have scanned the genomes of 173 Armenians from Armenia and Lebanon and compared them with those of 78 other populations from around the world. They found that the Armenians are a mix of ancient populations whose descendants now live in Sardinia, Central Asia and several other regions... Armenians share 29 percent of their DNA ancestry with Otzi, a man whose 5,300-year-old mummy emerged in 1991 from a melting Alpine glacier. Other genetically isolated populations of the Near East, like Cypriots, Sephardic Jews and Lebanese Christians, also share a lot of ancestry with the Iceman, whereas other Near Easterners, like Turks, Syrians and Palestinians [sic], share less.

Thanks imardmd1 for the question that had me stumble across this one.

[jmacusa]

I worked for a man who was an Armenian home builder. Armenians HATE Muslims, big time.

ancestry with Otzi

Hmmm...so thats where he was coming from...probably chased by some angry fathers...

[Long Jon No Silver]

Did Kim get her rear end from Otzi?

[SunkenCiv]

Most men in professional sports and showbiz have gotten Kim's rear end. Wait, what?

[Long Jon No Silver]

A lot of people have heard of Friar Tuck. But most don’t know his siblings, Bum Tuck, Belly Tuck etc. Kim is well aquainted with them lol

So, when was Legmenia founded?..............

[SunkenCiv]

Not sure, but I have been a leg man for a long time. Boobmenia is another foundation enigma.

[SunkenCiv]

And of course, the foundation date of Legerdemainia was uncovered using a Ouija board and tapping sounds.
