Interesting thread overhere.
Do either of you ever check the “Other” box — for Sa’ami ancestry?
Sa’amis, however, only have minority status in Scandinavian countries, right? Surely they have no status here in America??
Gene analysis revealed that for the most part the other humans have been isolated from the Sa'ami gene pool for most of the last 15,000 years.
There's another group in Eastasia with a similar problem ~ the Chinese were isolated from their gene pool for most of 15,000 years. However, they have a "marker gene" that's a real blast ~ most all of them have 5roots on their upper molars. About 40% of modern Japanese have the marker. 100% of the ancient Jomon, and modern Ainu, and modern descendants of most Samurai have that marker. There are groups in North Central China with the same teeth.
There are other differences that go along with the teeth including a decided adaptation to exceedingly cold conditions.
The Eskimo are not part of this group but another one.
I doubt the US government is ever going to recognize racial differences which are perceptible only at the genetic level ~ but they might. There are some very real biological differences between the Sa'ami and others, mostly having to do with living in a cold climate and eating animals high in iron.
Oh, yeah, they are not well adapted to eating grain or vegetables ~ definitely well advanced toward a purely carnivorous lifestyle. If we could get an organized campaign going we might be able to convince Congress to give us an exception to consume seal meat.
Nah. Because of my yDNA (R1b) I look like just another EVIL White guy, albeit a real handsome one.
