"Norwegian volunteers receive Y-DNA results"

[Transhumanist]

From Jean Manco's (http://dna-forums.org/index.php?/blog/2/entry-183-norwegian-volunteers-receive-y-dna-results/) blog:

Last year Prof. Mark Jobling of Leicester University and his colleague Turi King called for Norwegian volunteers (http://www.aftenposten.no/viten/article3591376.ece) to donate Y-DNA (page in Norwegian). About 400 men responded and they are now receiving their results (http://www.disnorge.no/slektsforum/viewtopic.php?p=463036) (forum in Norwegian).

The results of Family Tree DNA's own Norway Project - Norgesprosjektet (http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Norway/default.aspx?section=ycolorized) give an idea of what to expect.

Aw, why don't they do this in England anymore.

Very interesting.
I wonder if a thing like these can be done in Albania.

I wish that at least all public figures, such as politicians and celebrities, took autosomal DNA tests and made the results widely accessible at a centralised website.

Of course, it would be even better to test all citizens, and have it incorporated into their identity documents - sort of like the ethnicity graph in Soviet passports, but truthful.

And see an increase of the antisemitism in EU and USA after seeing the results?

I hope the results will be public.
400 is a lot of people, so I hope the results will be informative.
