VERY Short Intro to Early Irish Genomes

Brief video peek into what genetics may tell us about ancient history. Ireland is a wonderful place to begin.

This has been a very popular post on Mago Bill. Are Scott Irish mostly English?



Questions About DNA:
~ Is a paper trail documentation?
~ How is a relative connectd? Can't relatives connect themselves?
~ What is a phylogenetic tree?
~ Is "phylogenetic" an adjective? What does it have to do with trees?
~ Just what is a geenome?
~ What is geneoogy now?
~ What is a haplotype? Is it a type which a man on the street  would recognize or something esoteric?
~ Why would a knowledgable person  think it important to test three person in a line? How do you get them to line up?
~ What ought they be tested for? Diseases?
~ From where are the persons obtaine?

DNA Genesis - The Children Of Adam - National Geographic Documentary Fil...

A great introduction to DNA! 
I do not believe that we can be traced back to an original father.
Perhaps, theoretical, any single man can be traced back to a single man.



It is here I will put the last of my DNA questions:

~ How any tests or kinds of tests are there for DNA?
~ How are genealogies correlated to DNA results.
~ What else can DNA results be correlated to? Can they be correlated to a family tree?
~ How are common ancestors uncovered through DNA testing? What if most of my ancestors are uncommon?
~ What if the ancestors are dead? Is it really necessary to dig them up?
~ How can DNA testing help to provide a "time predictor" for the likely date of the most recent common ancestors of two related individuals?" Why might we want to do that?
~ Are there many DNA tests?
~ What else might it be useful for me to know about DNA?
~ What's endogomy?

Questions about DNA on 5/27/2018

My questions seem to be elementary ones about how DNA may relate to genealogy, family trees, and history.  They seem to relate much to the language of DNA; lots vocabulary to learn. I will probably make this my last list of DNA questions. Such questions to seem to multiply very rapidly. Still these questions in future studies should I decide to persue such studies. 

OK here is my list of questions:
~ What might DNA have to do with a healthy life? Oh no! this opens a new area of study. There is a lot to learn.
~ What does the D in DNA stand for?
~ What about the N and the A?
~ Why is DNA easily contaminated?
~ What are halogroups?
~ Why are "haploggroups" one word?
~ Do they have anything to do with Hopalong Cassidy?
~ Is it a fact that nuclear DNA may be obtined from both male and female progenitors?
~ What is nuclear DNA? Is it explosive?

I am getting tired of writing questions.  I will put other questions of this same list in other DNA post.
