I think evidence of this is pretty weak. Firstly this is talking about hominids, a common and distant ape ancestor from which homosapiens emerged. We've known of hominids outside of Africa for a long time (50+ yrs?). At best you could say it suggest hominids emerged from Eurasia, but even then you're basing this off a lower jaw and some teeth.

I'm with you on this. After my dad retired he went around the bend on genealogy stuff. I think he just wanted to fill his time and also was looking for some kind of connection to add to his life, though he certainly didn't need one. He tried really hard to get me interested and I pretended to play along but I never really saw the point. He learned that we had family members who fought for both the Union and the Confederacy, and that we could trace one branch of our family line back to one of the first families of Virginia... but what relevance did that really have on my life? None. Nice little factoids to fill the brain, I guess, but otherwise meaningless.

The only reason I'd be interested in ancestry stuff these days is because I'm Italian-American on my mother's side with my grandfather being a direct immigrant so that might allow me to apply for jure sanguinis Italian citizenship. Getting all the genealogical and ancestral records would be a necessity to do so. Though if I recall correctly they've tightened up requirements for such citizenship lately so that may not be possible anymore.

I'd prefer to live in ignorance to enjoy my shitty imitations of random accents and cultural trappings on any given day by pretending they're my own.

I sent a dick pic. It said I was 100% pigmy.

That's what I like here, semi-serious topics and hilarious answers.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

The report indicates that I'm a Greek portrait of handsome xD. But I do agree with the percentages.

Well, my Dad discovered that Grandma had a child prior to marrying Grandad that nobody ever knew about and she had died by that point so it will remain a mystery. But he (and the known siblings) discovered an older sister at the ripe age of 60 due to his (and her) interest in their ancestry.

If i tell my wife that i'm half black maybe i can gaslight her into believing that 16 cm is big and girth.

What are they going to do with your ugly face anyway? Generate AI porn? If you've taken a picture in the last few years on your phone your face is already online/processed by bigger companies without your consent.

 

[Rush2112]

Now that you have that info, im sure its going to make some big changes in your life. Gl.

 

[StueyDuck]

I haven't (nor will I) do any sort of DNA test or give some app my info.

But i did have a lineage done and apparently on my fathers side the family tree goes to william the conquerer.

This stuff gives me hope that all of those 19th century phrenology textbooks I've been hoarding are about to come back in vogue
