    Razor genes are generally easier to track than mammals..bit tricky to get a spit sample though...

    On my Dad's side, it's essentially Scotland&Ireland. Don't know about my Mom's side, except for the fact that somehow Abe Lincoln and I are related. No wonder I like many of his famous "Quotes".

    These DNA testing services would be an excellent way for the underground reptilian secret society elite global cabal to get our DNA without having to use force. Other than that, it's pretty cool.

    That's exactly what I was just thinking! It's like you read my mind...but...only space aliens from beyond the moon can read minds...

    Except that they now have to change their plans because you let the cat out of the bag. Nice going. :(

    I already know I'm Heinz 57. German with Serbian and Macedonian after that, followed by French Canadian, with a touch of English for good measure, with who know what else, I even heard I have a little Spaniard in there .

    Like Eastern European. Let's see there is Polish, Ukrainian, Albanian, Russian, Georgian, Czech, Slovenian, Slovakian, Serbian, etc... I hate blanket terms.

    Maybe explains why I am nonplussed over this, and also offended by its nefarious intent. These human, gold-gathering DNA based, biological mining and support robots down here don't see difference between convenience and gullibility in many practical applications of "their" advanced technology. So, we should probably keep quiet about this, we don't wanna start something. ;)

    Nah, the messaging and curiosity is too strong. We could also start social media networks and allow everyone to compile a complete dossier (with location Metadata) on themselves. If we write the ToS cleverly, we won't even need permission to grab the dossiers. The amount of money the cabal could save versus all the paid informants is not insignificant. It should work! ;)

    They say the problem is that national borders and identities, which have changed over time, are relatively recent and artificial parameters compared with genetic stocks that go back thousands of years. So if somebody is quite mixed (as all of us are if you go back far enough), or even if they aren't, in many cases it's impossible to nail that person down to one specific modern national identity. The genetics can't support it. A general range or predominance is as close as it gets.

    That's the explanation I read anyway.
