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.

if you have some dollars to spare, go to www.nationalgeographic.com/genofgraphic. Its a very interesting project to analyse DNA from humen all over the world. The resaults are very interesting.

Hi Maria

I totally agree ... a phenomenally interesting project on many levels.

Here is the updated page to your link ....

SO Greece has Romanian, Yugoslavian and Magyar traces?

No! ... I think it might be the other way around if the Greeks came in with the third wave of migrants from the south moving northwards.

btw: here is the link for the cultural fund:

I think Choirokitians might qualify

I hope you have all seen the Discovery Channel documentary entitled "The Original Eve" which traces the RNA (which can be followed throught the female line) from it's origins in Africa and how it spread across the world in numerous migrations.

Extremely interesting.

I find one thing puzzling. Linguists consider Finnish and Hungarian to belong to the same langauge family, but the two peoples appear to have little in common genetically.

The population of Finland fell to a very small number at some point in history (but after they planted roots in "Finland"), so that the present natives arose from a smaller surviving genetic pool; which may have skewed the neighbour-relatedness.

By my reckoning they would have to find a gene which hasn't changed since before that historical event, but was different to one existing prior to the previous great drift into Europe and chart its progress through the population (to work out how related they are indeed to the Hungarians).

.... but they are still clearly more related to the Hungarians than they are to say the Brits or Italians.

My Finnish and Hungarian history aren't great - but don't they both have historic links with Russian in terms of language. Swedes have little problem with other Scandanavian languages, but always tell me Finnish isn't understandable because it's more related to Russian than Swedish...

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.
