Leaving samples in a fridge with possible contaminants is not good lab procedure.

Can somebody do a "red state - blue state" version of this? I would guess there are more Ghengis Reds than Blues...

I actually don't think there would be all that much Genghis Marker in the US; immigration to the US from the former Mongol Empire has been pretty limited.

You'd probably find a bit of it in some people of Russian and Eastern European descent in this country.

Oops, I forgot about all the Persians that came here after the Iranian revolution. They'd probably have some of the marker. Biggest concentration I know of is in Northern Virginia.

"That indicates Central Asia is where M45 originated and where both Europeans and Native Americans originated, from a single source. "

I was thinking of your earlier question to me when I read this late last night.

Also, I wonder how this relates to the Jomon - Ainu types...and, how Kennewick Man and Spirit Cave Man (types) are completely left out of this article.

I have a book by Spencer Wells--The Journey of Man: A Genetic Odyssey (Princeton University Press, 2002). In the book he mentions Thomas Jefferson once, to quote from his Notes on the State of Virginia about the resemblance between American Indians and the inhabitants of East Asia.

The article makes it sound like it has been definitely proven that Jefferson had children by Sally Hemings. All the DNA evidence has shown so far is that some of her descendants carry the Jefferson Y chromosome, but that doesn't tell us if it was Jefferson himself, his brother, or one of his Jefferson cousins who got Sally pregnant.

"All the DNA evidence has shown so far is that some of her descendants carry the Jefferson Y chromosome, but that doesn't tell us if it was Jefferson himself, his brother, or one of his Jefferson cousins who got Sally pregnant."

Exactly right. And I'm sick of the major media, liberals and others, getting it wrong.

Genghis Khan---world domination, world rule---it's part of human nature.

To control the world, and plunder everything in it.

So why did god make the rest of us as "cannon fodder" to the thugs?

Who has time to read this wild speculation?

[SunkenCiv]

Dunno, maybe those with time enough to reply to it? ;')

[SunkenCiv]

True, but it adds somethin' to the flavor of the ice cream...
