I'm extra hairy, so I'd say I got it off my neanderthal mother's side! Hehe

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie (February 14, 2016 at 10:18 pm)Yeauxleaux Wrote:(February 14, 2016 at 9:09 pm)*Deidre* Wrote: Supposedly, 5% of the global population has Neanderthal DNA...so ...there you go.

I'd find a DNA test kinda fun. I don't know much about my ancestors. Two of my grandparents were born in Denmark and one in Sweden. The fourth was born in the U.S. to Swedish parents and returned to Sweden before her first birthday. I haven't done any genealogical research, though our family has kept in contact with the distant (geographically and genetically) cousins at least a little and there has been some visiting back and forth. But the Scandinavians mixed it up with the Slavs, French, Brits, Germans, and all sorts of other folks during the viking period. Who knows what's in the genes.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
My bio father was mestizo and Afro-Cuban, his family did rum running during Prohibition. My mother's family has roots in Louisiana and Mississippi, her side is made up of medium and lighter skinned Creoles.
