we are living fossils On another thread somebody is looking for some kind of information coded into the DNA by space aliens. This must be world DNA day.

a lavish existence with many wives and concubines. The study [...] suggests it was a good strategy for reproductive success. Captain Obvious Strikes Again!

The male descendants of Giocangga, like Khan's sons and grandsons, ruled over vast swathes of land, living a lavish existence with many wives and concubines. The study published in this month's American Journal of Human Genetics suggests it was a good strategy for reproductive success. Such penetrating insight.

About 1.5 million men in northern China and Mongolia may be descended from a single man,Well, I see my calling. The benchmark is set, all there is to do is go forth and multiply.

"Most informative is the small Y chromosome, holed up in the cells of every man, and relatively resistant to change."
Not true. The Y chromosome has the highest mutation frequency of any chromosome.

There was a pretty remarkable show on PBS about a fellow who's studdying the markers on the Y chromosome. By mapping out the trees of the markers, he determined that mans most ancient relatives are basically what we would call the Kalahari Bushmen. But the odd thing was that the next place the marker was discovered wasn't Europe or Asia, it was the walkabouts... the Australian aborigines.
One fascinating part of the show, not necessarily about genetics, showed the folks who live in the far northern parts of Russia, I guess you'd call them laplanders.
Absolutely dependent on reindeer. Totally. There is no vegetation there, except for meager blue green algae. And the only thing that can eat it is the reindeer. So these folks live, breathe, eat and sleep with one goal in mind: keep the reindeer herds flourishing.
An incredibly specialized niche.

If this study and the work on Khan are right, they suggest that winning Y chromosomes thrive on hierarchy, patriarchy and conquest. "They tell us that those who regard history as the record of human frailty, weakness and disaster are right," says Jones. I fail to see any connection between this study and how whiners and losers see history. Am I missing something?

"Did conquest and concubines spread one man's genes across Asia?"
Some guys have all the luck. Nice work, if you can get it.
Seriously though, I did get back my Genographic project results, they are very interesting. I am apparently in Haplogroup R1a, with other interesting results as well.
