John Jubinsky's DNA Testing Results
Having your DNA tested for deep ancestry consists of having the DNA of one or both of your sex chromosomes analyzed for the purpose of acquiring information about the travelings of your ancient ancestors. A male has a male and female (Y and X) sex chromosome which have different DNA while a female has two female (X and X) sex chromosomes which have identical DNA. To determine deep ancestry information for your paternal ancestors the DNA of your Y chromosome is tested and to determine deep ancestry information for your maternal ancestors the DNA of your X chromosome is tested. Of course females don't have a Y chromosome to test but testing the Y chromosome DNA of a brother, for example, would provide them with deep ancestry information for their paternal ancestors. The results of testing the Y DNA are used to establish probable routes taken by your paternal ancestors from their origin in Africa to relatively recent locations and the results of testing the X DNA are used to establish the same for your maternal ancestors. In order to learn about the probable routes taken by my ancestors I decided to have the DNA of both my Y and X chromosomes tested by taking part in the Genographic Project of the National Geographic Society. It affords the testing on an anonymous basis without requiring participation in the project. However, so far almost 581.000 people have participated on either an anonymous or known basis.
There were no major surprises in my case. I knew my father's side to be Ukrainian (Lemko) and my mother's Italian. The paternal results revealed a probable and fairly direct route to Ukraine while the maternal a probable, although indirect, route to Italy going down into it after going up to the Baltic Sea.

Participating in the Genographic Project of the National Geographic Society involves, on an anonymous or known basis, allowing NG to use the results of your deep ancestry DNA testing and family history information to attempt to more thoroughly associate genetic markers with locations. This is in order that it might better establish the historical story of settlements and migrations of ancient as well as more recent peoples. However, participation is voluntary. That is, NG will perform the deep ancestry testing on an anonymous basis for interested persons without requiring their results nor family history information to be used in the Project. NG will also test your non-deep-ancestry DNA as well as the amount of Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA you have.

I tried posting a comment to the group page but couldn't.
What a great idea to discuss here, I was thinking about this exactly, just a couple of days ago. I don't have the money to spend on at the moment, but I've been wanting to do it for a while. One hesitation... since the testing is anonymous... you are not concerned about posting your IDs in public?
I think there are other agencies who also do testing, more specific testing, looking for particular genetic markers. It would be a nice idea to list them on the group intro page, and their purpose, as we find them :)

I wonder if because of a climate cycle change that the Ukraine region became a hub.
The new dichotomy there is disgusting.

During the last Ice Age the hunter-gatherers in the north of Europe were forced back south. Spain, Mediterranean France and the Ukraine were some of the major refuges.

re: Paternal update... Very cool John, thanks :)
I look forward to eyeballing more results!
I'm especially curious to compare these lines to those of North America's First Nations.
PS, when I looked into reading the details of the various "red dots" in the timeline, I got French descriptions instead of English, was that your case too?

I'm getting English. I think you have your output set to French. You can change it to English on the upper right hand side of a page.

Of course mine is set to English, everything else is in English...
Where I get French is by doing this:
-Click red dot called Great Leap Forward (third from bottom)
-Within new window select stone tool image
-Nat Geo info bubble is in English, but the image describing the tools is in French...
Do you get to the same location?
PS... same happens with the red dot: animal domestication, the actual individual animals are in French! :) How about you?

Mine is in French too. They just didn't program it right.

Cool, just wanted to be sure it wasn't some weird computer happening. How funny is that that a Nat Geo website has images in French only! :)

My DNA results are there too for both the father's and mother's lines. -

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film. The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons. He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.

Do you support 'traditional' marriage, vot now ad

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"! .
No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes. 'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands. Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…

My first funeral as an atheist
Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.
I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).
THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…
