thekillers1stfan: Well, you can't blame him for that :-)

Doesn't "broader european" include french ? It doesn't say that on screen but i'm pretty sure they hide it because they're not sure of it :P

It's a bit more complicated than Lindy made it look. They effectivly look at every gene by itself and find out who else in there data base has the same gene. Then they look how many of those people are of a specific nationality and if the percentage lies over the confidence value. If it does, they asign this gene to this nationality. If it does not, they simply take a more vaguely defined group, like from British to broad North-West European. So if you're increasing the confidence value, the big picture does not get more accurate, but more vague. On the other hand, the values they still give you for specific small groups, they are dead certain about. So it does not say those genes are not French with a probability of 90%, but that they cannot say with a certainty of 90% that they are. And of course some of those groupings are just outright laughable. Like a North German from the Danish border has as much in common with a southern Frenchman from the Provence gentically speaking as a Dane has with a North Italian. And you would probably never group those two together. So you should always take those tests with a huge grain of salt. If you wanted to know your real ancestry you would have to invest hundreds to even thousands of hours into hunting down church registers and that's just not worth it. Anyway, have a nice day and thank you for reading this text wall.

@@jabohonu Then I refer you to Monty Python and the Holy Grail for the reference.

But let’s not forget that we can always crank the confidence level to 90% (to do away with the Frenchiness)

Rad derry But a lion can mate with a tiger and produce viable offspring....

While i don't think you should but too much weight or thought into it, and you are right that we all are humans and should treat each other equally. I do think race exist or alteast we do have diffrent genetics depending on our ancestry. For example much of the world and in particular Europeans have some % of neanderthal DNA in us. While people from Africa that is of pure african ancestry does not. Alot of traits vary depending on ancestry. For example Asian people does in general have higher IQ than the rest of the world. Among other things. It's when you start to think that some ''races'' are more superior then others when you have a problem. If you look at cats or dogs they have diffrent ''races'' aswell because they have slightly diffrent DNA. But they can still breed with each other and are of the same speices.

Rad Derry By that logic neanderthals were human and dogs are the same thing as wolves. Although an inability to produce viable offspring proves the existence of separate species, the lack of this characteristic does not disprove such a separation.

I got a solid laugh out of that!

Yeah I'm genuinely surprised they let him post this after everything holy hell lol

I mean, it would be ironic if 23andme would deny that race exists, when their entire business model is partially based on it.

*DING* 23andme would like to point out that the particular ding you're referring was not in fact desperate, and was in fact very respectable.

vivas555 you thought that was paranoia? No.

I can't stand compagnies like that.

The spectre of scientific racism can easily be summoned when statistics and genetics are presented. Not to mention publically announcing the likelyhood of having certain health issues makes it easier for health insurance companies to alter their rates (not likely at the moment, but the future is another world). The latter is less of an issue in the UK. But it's likely part of the reason for why they have a disclaimer for the health problems section.

vivas555 well I can understand that they want to make sure that it is clear what are their results and what is his opinion the same way a car manufacturer would want to make sure that if you were to review a car of theirs it is clear what is the car you build and what are modifications that the owner made and genetics is one of the field with the highest (having an oppinion)/(knowing anything about it) coefficients in the public so it is understandable why they try to make sure that the stuff he says is somewhat correct and he does actually represent their work since he could say something completely different and his viewers wouldn't know.

They have been warned by government regulators in the past about making overly broad statements about their results. It only makes sense for them to go pretty cautious after that, especially given the uncertainty involved.

I wouldn´t know about this, if I wouldn´t live nearby. Very local history stuff. If our teachers wanted to take us for a school trip, this museum was the first choice, because they could shove us into a public bus, push us out of the bus 10 minutes later, and we would be there. Easy! So we had to visit the Neandthal Museum every now and then, and there is no way you can miss it a kid growing up in the area. So, if the teacher asked us if we wanted to visit the Neanderthal Museum, our answer was "Again?!" I feel like an involuntarily expert on this topic. But I like history, why else would I hang out at the Lindybeige channel?

MrFusselig Is the rumor true that this particular skeleton was of a severely rheumatic old man, who was crouched over from that, not as an actual racial trait? (Successful interbreeding with homo sapiens sapiens by definition makes us the same species).

No, a rheumatic disorder doesn´t give you a different skull shape.

I did not know the valley was named for a person, very interesting. It is perhaps a little bit of historical and anthropological irony that the name Neander is Greek for "new man" but is now heard mostly in the context of rather old men.

Thats indeed an interesting coincidence.

I have a photic sneeze reflex and it’s horrible and life altering. Every change in light levels, even a tiny bit, causes at least four sneezes in a row.

@@mamavswild Ouch. As I've gotten older, I've become sensitive to changes in temperature so a slight draft that wouldn't bother me a few years ago will set off a sneezing fit. Of course it's easier to avoid drafts than it is to avoid changes in light, so I guess I have to count my blessings.

Well technically it's difficult to not be somewhat French simply because of the history of demography in Europe. Long-story short : before 1000AD almost half of the western european popualtion lived in the present-day territory of France because it was the most fertile place (and people migrated outward much more than people usually think). Additionally English and French people are genetically very similar even though they might not want to recognize it, early on both kingdoms had quite an intertwined history to the point it was kind of difficult differenciating what was French and what was English.

wow, I cant believe no one has commented to your comment, considering your fame in this little "History, Religion, and Anthropology" part of youtube.

Hey Tom , STJ , in your opinion what would be the best DNA company would be the most reliable to use ? I have the Icelanders are very good !

Yeah, 23andme really screwed up my results. I have a full Scandinavian grandparent but they told me I'm only 7.6% Scandinavian, but also 13.4% "Broadly Northwestern European" and way too British and Irish. They also told me I'm 9.8% French and German, but they had no clue which one of the 7+ countries they list in that category I descend from.

I'm pretty sure the bell breaker was from Iberia, with groups moveing eastward into France and central Europe and another group that sailed along the Atlantic coast

That's what hundreds of years of war and invasions do (oh.. And two French kings sitting on the throne of England... granted William the Conqueror was more Dane than French).

Mad Jotun I think I read on Wikipedia that William the Bastard was the Viking Rollo's great great great grandson. According to the account I read Rollo was given Normandy to keep him quiet and off the backs of the Burgundians. At about the same time the English kings were paying the Norsemen to help them out with domestic disputes and being landed with unwelcome guests just like the froggies were.

Well Wales is just the bit of Roman Britain that didnt become Saxon England So there's still probably a lot of NWE in Welsh folk

I heard there's more Celtic DNA within England than all the "Celtic" nations combined

The Irish and Scottish are probably the most British as they were never roman and were rarely invaded since

Wales has pretty undiluted genetics, having only really been conquered by the romans and the english, neither of which settled en-mass. Ireland and scotland both avoided the romans, but were frequently colonised by the scandinavians during the viking period. It's definitely incorrect to say that the welsh are the 'true' british though. The 'purest' british perhaps, but they weren't the first to settle nor are they the only ones who still have native ancestry. But all that is assuming that you count the pre-roman inhabitants as natives. Celtic culture originated on the mainland and was spread somehow to britain, probably along with some people. Ireland was colonised at some point by the iberians, and before 6,000 BC britain was linked to the continent by doggerland and the concept of being 'british' becomes irrelevant.

I think the Pakistanis in London are the true natives.
