@ZZZELCH84 @ZZZELCH84 , afraid of reason 🤔🤔🤔

@ZZZELCH84 Lol, change the topic to a Roundtable of Unreasonable thoughts.

@TetherPatrol @kaptain_ti @50Toronto Just so I get your drift, are you suggesting that some BA's are correct in their claims of non African ancestry?

@Sphinxstar1 @kaptain_ti @50Toronto My haplogroups trace back to ancient populations like those in India (M) and even Pharaoh Ramesses III (E-V38).

@TetherPatrol @kaptain_ti @50Toronto True, but it gives us insights into the connection. We can't ignore cross breeding.

@Sphinxstar1 @kaptain_ti @50Toronto Two people of the same haplogroup can look completely different and belong to different ethnic groups today.

@TetherPatrol @kaptain_ti @50Toronto I don't get you though, visible traits are influenced mainly by genetics.

@Sphinxstar1 @kaptain_ti @50Toronto They don’t define modern populations or racial categories. Race, on the other hand, is a social construct based mostly on visible traits like skin tone and facial features, which don’t map neatly onto genetic ancestry.

@TetherPatrol @kaptain_ti @50Toronto Double click on the Beringian migrations!!!

@Sphinxstar1 @kaptain_ti @50Toronto Those percentages can change anytime the database updates. It’s not your full genetic makeup — it’s just a rough estimate of where some of your ancestors might have lived, not a biological definition of race.

@TetherPatrol @kaptain_ti @50Toronto Race is a social construct largely influenced by phenotype. However, there are patterns that could be classified into haplogroups which can show were people settled before transportation over vast distances was easy.

@Sphinxstar1 @kaptain_ti @50Toronto DNA ancestry tests don’t actually measure race. Humans share over 99.9% of the same DNA, and only a tiny fraction is used to guess regional ancestry based on reference samples.

@ToniSnack Thanks for the admiration.
