lETS LIVEN THINGS UP A BIT with a discussion about human population genetics.
Are there any websites that show the frequenty of genetic traits mapwise etc etc
Most people would consider it politically incorrect to make such a map etc. Even thousands of years ago the local girls were typically impressed with the traveler from a far country and often bore his children, after he moved on, was eaten, sacrificed to the local idol or whatever. Bottom line is the world has always been a melting pot, so human traits concentrated in a community are more often coincidence, statistical error and/or the result of migrations, wars etc than of statistical significance, IMHO. The decoding of the human gerome is an art in it's infancy, so we should not put great faith in preliminary conclusions IMHO. Neil
