    Default Anthro Community; Joined effort

    This is initiative is for Anthro/Dna community, for Anthro Netizens. We should form community that monitors different companies offering genetic DNA services. Our effort must be to inform those that are not yet part of our well informed society.

    There are fraud companies out there. Predators seeking to make money from our not so informed Netizens.

    As AnthroForum is new flagship of anthro community, we should be the generating motor to make this initiative reality. We should seek help from popular anthro blogs like Dieneke's and other anthro/dna boards for this effort.

    Please spread this initiative to other boards.

    Guys like Dr. Braindead would love this.

    Then again, you gotta take the good with the bad:

    Indigenous Peoples in Austria
    Teuton 35 %
    Slav 35 %
    Special case * 10 %
    Jews 10 %
    Phoenician 10 %
    Indigenous Peoples in Germany
    Celtic 45 %
    Teuton 25 %
    Slav 20 %
    Jews 10 %


    Needless to say that the labels are utterly ridiculous. One's genetic profile is way more complicated than that.

    AncestryByDNA should also be taken with a pinch of salt.

    I'd really like to know what hapolgroup they're labeling as "Celtic." R1b is certainly present in most of the regions that were once Celtic, but it can hardly be said to be a Celtic modal haplogroup.

    These companies are utter joke. There are others like them. People actually spend their hard earned money money to take the test. I think it's our job to stop the fraud. How can we allow out heritage and out genes made as fictional fairytale ? Line must be drawn.

    The data isn't useless it's just how it is the interpretation that is flawed. For example Denmark:

    Y-haplogroups in Denmark
    R1B 53 %
    R1A 35 %
    J2 7 %
    I 5 %

    Indigenous Peoples in Denmark
    Vikings 60 %
    Teuton 40 %

    So we have an idea of the proportions of various Y groups in Denmark but why does R1b + J2 = Viking?


    Germany:

    Y-haplogroups in Germany

    R1B 45 %
    I 25 %
    R1A 15 %
    J 10 %
    E1B1B 5 %



    Indigenous Peoples in Germany
    Celtic 45 %
    Teuton 25 %
    Slav 20 %
    Jews 10 %

    Why does R1b = Celt in Germany & J =Jewish instead of Viking? And why does R1a = Slav in Germany (along with E1b1b) but Teuton in Denmark?
