Whatcha gonna do about those old, wild genes! I am descended from King Haakon, through Somerled, got all these raging, politically incorrect, wild barbarian antecedants!
In other words, I can't help it, it is My destiny! If You have an urge to be queer, O.K., must be YOUR genes.
I have an urge to be really free, sorry, I just can't help it. It is My fate!
BUAIDH NO BAS, MACDHUGAILL FOREVER!
There are two distinct varieties of Homo Sapiens on this Earth, one of them is gonna have to to go away! I take strength from the knowledge that My President comes from good stock. Thank God no one is talking about "French Connections"

Bryan Sykes' recent book Adam's Curse has a chapter on Somerled: "The Y-Chromosome of Somhairle Mor." He argues that the DNA evidence shows that Somerled's paternal ancestry was Norse (some had argued that it was Celtic based on Irish genealogies that have been preserved). He found that the heads of the clans which claim to be descended from Somerled have the same Y-chromosome, indicating common ancestry. The proportion of other men with those surnames who carry that Y-chromosome varies from one family to another.
