Geneticists have published the latest findings from a study of the relatedness of DNA for Europeans. Similarity of DNA ties in with country of origin and so in future Forensic Investigators will be be able to match DNA to the country of origin of the suspect.

Looking at the map the Uk map seems pretty well contamination free and human apart from the bit from Ireland.

It is a well known fact that GCs are really Arabs from; er, wherever.

If you are prepared to back that up with some references that would be very interesting as all the Europeans follow the same main exodus path which splits around Anatolia.

The blip which is the UK and Ireland is actually what drew my attention to this.

The first wave of migrants probably went to the furthest point North West (British Isles) then did not mix much with the rest of Continental Europe and the two newer influxes of people. (Or possibly the second wave when an Ice land bridge still existed, with the remotest possibility of a third wave migration then subsequently genetic isolation).

(The Irish and the Brits are indistinguishable genetically by this method.)

Now, is it safe to say the Brits are of the "Older" genetic stock, than the other Europeans, who have had more mixing/diversity within the then more populated parts of the World before settling to semi-genetic "isolation" in the Euro-mass?

As a geneticist, what do you think came first Oracle...Chicken or egg. As it is so slow tonight we might as well see what happens with this one. seriously????

Hello .... was elsewhere, have just seen this. Maybe you have gone to bed now.

But I like this dilemma because I think I have the answer.

Since chickens evolved from reptiles ..... which are egg laying creatures ..... then it stand to reason the egg came first!

This is because the mutations necessary to lead towards a bird, would have been happening during Chromosomal replication, before fertilisation.

So egg came first!

Damn! That was a short discussion because I agree. The mutation (Mistake in reproduction) would have to happen then.

Yes! alas, no discussion since they both concur!

Come on guys....................

Here is another poser that I think I have the answer for but am interested in your view. Do we all see the same colour?

I don't think we do. Lot's of people are colour blind and apparently dogs only see in black and white?

My fault...I should have been clearer. I meant people who are not colour blind.

Well I shall have to look forward to reading your answers tomorrow to that very interesting question as I have been summoned away ....

Rods and cones chaps .....
