I'm in total agreement with your statement. We dropped our subscription to National Geographic about 25 years ago when we got tired of the lefist propaganda on its pages. What a shame! It used to be a beautiful magazine and then it turned into a depressing and untruthful collection of articles and pix.
Did you participate? It is very tempting to me. I don't really see anything controversial in Oprah's statement of being descended from the Zulus.
I may not have understood your question, either. ;)
Yes, if they learn of my genetic background they're going to try and breed me constantly.
My children accuse me of harboring Neanderthal DNA.
Right! But if you only go back ten generations, you have 512 ancestors. Direct paternal and direct maternal only takes care of two of them. How about the other 510? And ten generations is not "deep ancestry." In short order you get into the millions of ancestors, more, in fact, than the total population of the earth. Oops! Do I smell an incest scandal here?
The way I read this article, they don't claim they're going to give you information on all of the 512 ancestors you've mentioned in your example -- they'll just give general information on one or two ancestors.
So someone can argue that the test won't provide all the information they might like to have. But they can't argue that someone with a mixed-race background is going to get results that are distorted or imprecise. Do I have that right?
This is an excellent map drawn from the DNA studies of professor Stephen Oppenheimer, It was privately funded by The Bradshaw Foundation.

Note the first humans out of Africa failed...and, he places the first Americans at Meadowcroft 25,000 years ago. (Etc)
Well to be fair, I'm sure a similar percentage of men were out there having an extramarital fling - it's just that they don't leave evidence the same way a mom does, that's all. ;-)
Do You have red hair?
Sounds fascinating!
Not yet...still thinking about it.
" I don't really see anything controversial in Oprah's statement of being descended from the Zulus."
It does not matter to me that Oprah is a Zulu.
***"Scientists have found an ancient strand of hair in Woodburn's Front Street Park - a human hair that may have been left behind before modern American Indians settled in North America a few thousand years ago."***
Was it red? If it was, I'm sure I know who the hussy was.
LOL!
bump for later ponder
Seems everyone is Zulu. Zulu's were the most powerful tribe in Africa. It was the Zulu leaders that traded with the dutch and exchanged ther slaves for goods and those slaves were sent to the Americas.
No Zulu was ever a slave. Also today in Africa, no Zulu's will work for any other tribe - if you look at the mines, stores, etc, Zulu's do not work for anyone other then a Zulu in any organization.
No, but thanks for the link.
