If you're looking for something serious, you can always find it. The opposite is true as well.

but to base any kind of present-day national identity on it - c'mon!!!!!

Wait. Where exatly did I claim anything similar ? I simply said it is part of an heritage (you may call it bloodline). You're free to find it's the family inheritance of the poor. But being, for instance, R1b (Paleo-European) and not, say, I or J (random choice), I find it something you can be proud of. I didn't mean to say it would make me closer -in any way- to someone from Argentina who shares the same HG as me...

Anyway, where's the problem? That's not incompatible with the fact I'm a French national. Let's move on.

My Croatianness is totally unrelated to any genetic markers or chromosomes, whether they be "Lappish", "Slavic", "German" or any other. I fail to see the connection.

Or Mongoloid, or Negroid? I too fail to see a connection. No, really any connection.

Some people have a serious interest in this matter, a scientific one.

But tell me one thing, would you be "upest" if a DNA test found out that you have some genetic marker characteristic of...say...Hurons?

Some of those Americans seem to be obsessed with that.

It can be serious too if you want to prove or disprove such or such family fairy tells. I don't know, as I said, there are many reasons, and they can said to be valuable for those who are looking for something more than just what a passport can tell.

Huron. It sounds quite unlikely but why not, say there's a feather in my hair. I'm very sympathetic to native Americans --to a certain degree.

But it wouldn't make me more curious about this specific ancestry, for that --no more than I'm already. That'd be it. I would prefer to have none, actually. Because that just would make thing easier.

Yes, obsessed. Money, work, food... Starved. Bulimics. And in vain. They can only explode.

That's why I said: unless.

And that's why in the first place I made myself clear, seeing, and not hearing or reading.

Nah yes, although some Comanche marker would do well too.

Hmm, nah. Those from Saint-Jean lake are way cooler.
