Interesting you would say that. We inherit one X chromosome from our mother and one from our father. Women inherit two X chromosomes from both of their parents. You're telling me that it's a guarantee that the X chromosome we inherit from our mothers must be from their own mothers?? https://www.23andme.com/gen101/origins/ http://www.dnainheritance.kahikatea.net/Quote:

Not really.
First I've got R1b, which is cool, but they didn't even precise the subclades.
Second, my mtDNA is HV0 and there is very little information about it.
But otherwise they are the usual haplogroups for a west Euro.
How can someone NOT be "happy" with theirs? This doesn't make sense to me.

Well, maybe somebody thought that their haplogroup was something indigenous to Europe only to find out that the origins were recent African? maybe somebody thought they had an indigenous North American haplotype that would up being European? Genetic genealogy can be quite surprising to some people, some surprises pleasant, others not so much.Quote:

(and inheriting two x chromosomes results in one being a female)
