The French Revolution is legitimately one of the most important events in human history, despite the Terror, and even if the main short-term effect was to pave the way for bourgeois liberal capitalism.

The Russian Revolution is a lot more :yikes: when you know how it turned out, and the worst atrocities/genocides occurred after the situation had already stabilized and there was no immediate internal or external threat.

Which company did you guys use for the test? I've been thinking of getting one for my dad for his birthday. The racial stuff probably wouldn't interest him since there's no reason to think he's anything but 99%-100% 'European', and he wouldn't care if he wasn't, but he's always going on about human evolution, Neanderthal intermixing, haplogroups, etc.

Most Asians too, if I remember correctly. Latest finds indicate that there's been quite a bit of intermixing among humanoid species, found especially in the DNA of human groups that left Africa.

The medical aspect of the DNA sequencing is interesting, like I could understand if a person wants to know if they've got Alzheimer's headed their way but the genealogy part is just funny to me. Like ok, I apparently am 20% "Italian"? I don't know how that changes anything about my life or who I am unless-a I a-want to-a talk-a like-a thees.

It can be incredibly important to mixed-race people, especially those from the New World who often have no idea what their racial make-up might be. No, it doesn't change anything in practice, and it's not rational, but people aren't rational. It has reaI emotional value to some people, and I can understand that.

What I'll agree with is that it gets arbitrary when it gets too granular, like distinguishing more than two or three types of European. Europeans have been mixing among themselves (and others) since prehistoric times. There's a certain flawed circular logic to it all. We've determined that people from [country] tend to have this genetic composition, you have this genetic composition among others, therefore...it's more of a statistical likelihood than a certainty.

e: if you don't believe the emotional part, check out some 'DNA reveal' videos on YouTube, many of them are actually crying at the end.

Right, it's funny for you. I don't like using the p buzzword, but it's a form of privilege (for you and me and my dad) not to have to care about something like that at all.

d3lness posted:

Wait, are you saying is privilege to for genetics to not matter or for some distant ancestry to not matter?

The privilege is never having to think about your ancestry at all, at least in the context of many American countries.

Best example is, I've seen several videos of African-Americans doing these tests, and they react in different ways when they (almost inevitably) find out they're 20-30% European. I can imagine it being hard to come to grips with the fact that a large part of your genetic make-up is a consequence of what was basically rape. Turns out many of them had family stories of Native American ancestry probably specifically to cover up that fact.

Practically all of us are going to have that, go back far enough and your family tree will be a tangled mess, epic inbreeding jokes notwithstanding. Otherwise you would end up with infinite ancestors, which makes no sense.

That's why it's completely meaningless, genetically speaking, to say that you're descended from this or that famous 16th-century person.

Phlegmish
Jul 2, 2011



Why wouldn't they? It would be completely nonsensical if genes didn't mirror geography.

The arbitrary/circular part is when you decide that someone is '6% Italian' based on that.
