Nikolay's Genetics Lessons

Was everyone on the planet black before Noah’s flood? The book of Enoch seems to indicate that the world before Noah’s flood was a much darker place, as far as melanin is concerned. While The Book of Enoch is not considered canon (official scripture), it was very important to the ancient Hebrews. In fact, it was so important, that they hid it among the Dead Sea scrolls at Qumran. Let’s start by looking at the story concerning Noah’s birth: “After a time, my son Mathusala took a wife for his son Lamech. She became pregnant by him, and brought forth a child, the flesh of which was as white as snow, and red as a rose; the hair of whose head was white like wool, and long; and whose eyes were beautiful. When he opened them, he illuminated all the house, like the sun; the whole house abounded with light. And when he was taken from the hand of the midwife, opening also his mouth, he spoke to the Lord of righteousness. Then Lamech his father was afraid of him; and flying away came to his own father Mathusala, and said, I have begotten a son, unlike to other children. He is not human; but, resembling the offspring of the angels of heaven, is of a different nature from ours, being altogether unlike to us.” — Book of Enoch 105:1–3 These three verses in The Book of Enoch provide a glimpse into what was going on around the world at the time of Noah’s birth. In order to make this easier, we’re going to break down the information into two sections: What The Text Says - Noah was born with white skin. - Noah did not look like the other humans. - Lamech believed Noah was the son of an angel. - Angels were having children on earth. What The Text Implies - White skin was not common among humans. - The children of the angels (nephilim) were white. Although the nephilim play a very important role in Noah’s flood, they are beyond the scope and focus of this article. If you are interested in an in depth study on the nephilim and Noah’s flood, please check out my book, As The Days of Noah Were: The Sons of God and The Coming Apocalypse. If Humans Weren’t White… What color were they? The text seems to imply that pre-flood humans were people of color. Based on the location of The Garden of Eden, they were most likely brown or dark skinned people. If you still aren’t convinced that pre-flood people were people of color, Lamech’s words, “being altogether unlike to us” proves that everything about Noah was different, including his skin color. Noah: The Black Albino Although Noah was described as having “white skin”, we know that not only Europeans have white skin. Black people can also be born with white skin. We refer to these people as albinos. Here are a few pictures of black people with white skin: As we can clearly see, white babies are not only born to Europeans. In fact, it is a scientific fact that black people can have white children, but white people cannot have a black child. The only way for all of the races to exist on the planet, is if they started dark, and then became lighter over time. Enoch, Lamech, and Noah were all from the line of Seth (Adam’s third son). If they were people of color, it also indicates that Seth was a man of color, which would also make Adam a man of color. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om_cReuhdXk

Everything you are going to see tody on the left belongs to russian cultur on the right is indin. Not so long ago, an Indian folklore ensemble came to the Russia Vologda Oblast. The leader, Mrs. Mihra, was shocked by the ornaments on the Vologda ethnic costumes. “These ones,” she exclaimed enthusiastically, “are found in our Rajasthan, and these are found in Aris, and these ornaments are exactly like in Bengal.” It turned out that even the technology of ornamental embroidery is called the same in the Vologda region and in India. Embroidery with white threads on a white canvas is what we call “chikan”, in India the exact same embroidery is called “chikan”! And the similarity of ancient symbols, traditions, myths, fairy-tale characters of the north of Russia and India is simply amazing! Scientists and ethnographers draw different conclusions, but agree on one thing - Hindus and Slavs have rich history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r95VG6tORfU

Researchers from the University of Toronto (U of T) have found that the theory behind the popular blood type diet--which claims an individual's nutritional needs vary by blood type--is not valid. The findings are published this week in PLoS One. "Based on the data of 1,455 study participants, we found no evidence to support the 'blood-type' diet theory," said the senior author of the study, Dr. Ahmed El-Sohemy, Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Nutrigenomics at the U of T. "The way an individual responds to any one of these diets has absolutely nothing to do with their blood type and has everything to do with their ability to stick to a sensible vegetarian or low-carbohydrate diet," said El-Sohemy. Researchers found that the associations they observed between each of the four blood-type (A, B, AB, O) diets and the markers of health are independent of the person's blood type. The 'blood-type' diet was popularized in the book Eat Right for Your Type, written by naturopath Peter D'Adamo. The theory behind the diet is that the ABO blood type should match the dietary habits of our ancestors and people with different blood types process food differently. According to the theory, individuals adhering to a diet specific to one's blood type can improve health and decrease risk of chronic illness such as cardiovascular disease. The book was a New York Times best-seller that has been translated into 52 languages and sold over 7 million copies. The U of T researchers took an existing population of mostly young and healthy adults who provided detailed information about their usual diets and provided fasting blood that was used to isolate DNA to determine their ABO blood type and the level of cardiometabolic risk factors, such as insulin, cholesterol and triglycerides. Diet scores were calculated based on the food items listed in Eat Right for Your Type to determine relative adherence to each of the four 'blood-type' diets. El-Sohemy says that a previous lack of scientific evidence doesn't mean the diets didn't work. "There was just no evidence, one way or the other. It was an intriguing hypothesis so we felt we should put it to the test. We can now be confident in saying that the blood type diet hypothesis is false." Last year, a comprehensive review published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found no evidence to support the 'blood-type' diet and called for properly designed scientific studies to address it. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/01/140115172246.htm#:~:text=We%20can%20now%20be%20confident,scientific%20studies%20to%20address%20it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZwGYyQIIfQ

If you think that Indian and Russian cultures are very distant - this is not so.. The researcher of the ancient Indian epics Tilak in 1903 published in Bombay his book "The Arctic Homeland in the Vedas" . According to Tilak, the sacred books of knowledge "Vedas", created more than three thousand years ago, tell about the life of his distant ancestors on the earth, where there are many forests and lakes, mountains, rivers flowing to the north and south. They describe endless summer days and winter nights, the North Star and the Northern Lights. Indeed, the Volga and Dvina flow in different directions, and the Northern Dvina - in Sanskrit "double" - is formed from the confluence of two rivers ... For example russian river Sukhona - on Sanskrit means easily overcome other major river in Russia - Kama means love, attraction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzHPlLJ4xU0

The information that you will learn today will literally blow your mind .. Have you ever heard about Great Tartaria? ... What if I tell you that in ancient times Russian and Indian cultures were closely intertwined.. Look at these pictures.. In these pictures you can see dolmens located in India, dolmens can be found in various states, most notably in southern regions such as Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh. Referred to as "megalithic dolmens," these structures exhibit similar characteristics to their Russian counterparts, compare yourself.. Dolmens are megalithic structures characterized by large stone slabs arranged to form chambers or tombs. The purpose of these dolmens remains a subject of debate, with theories ranging from burial sites to sacred spaces for rituals. Don't you think that these dolmens belong to the same culture? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v31t7PGcDlU

If you look at the comments under the videos on YouTube, you will see that over 90% of Indians always support Russia.. and today i will explain why... Take a close look at these photos of the Indian national dress that has been unchanged for thousands of years. Pay attention to the headdresses, especially the elements one, two and three... If you think that you can find such headdresses only in India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Burma and other southeastern countries, and not in any European country, you are deeply mistaken .. This is almost one in one Russian ethnic costume but adjusted for climate .. The same three elements.. Regardless of propaganda, India and Russia will always support each other and not only for geopolitical reasons but because deep common roots of Vedic culture. By the way, in Russian language vedat means means to know, so now you know.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIzFKE1KjVc

No, it is not necessary for a child to have the exact blood group of one of their parents. The blood type of a child is determined by the combination of genes inherited from both parents. The ABO blood group system classifies blood into four types: A, B, AB, and O. Each blood type is determined by specific antigens present on the surface of red blood cells. When a child is born, they can inherit different blood type alleles from each parent. For example, if one parent has blood type A (genotype AA or AO) and the other parent has blood type B (genotype BB or BO), their child could have blood type A, B, AB, or O, depending on the combination of alleles received. The Rh factor (positive or negative) is another component of blood typing. This factor follows a similar inheritance pattern, where the child can inherit the Rh factor from either parent. The blood type of a child is determined by a combination of genetic factors inherited from both parents, and it is not a requirement for a child to have the exact blood group of one of their parents. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJVy4W_AdXM

The domestication of animals has a long history, but one of the most intriguing and remarkable experiments took place in Russia, specifically in Novosibirsk, during the late 1960s. This experiment involved the domestication of foxes and was led by the renowned geneticist Dmitry Belyaev. The research aimed to understand the process of domestication and explore the genetic and behavioral changes that occur over generations. Let us delve into the fascinating world of fox domestication in Russia. The Experiment Begins: Dmitry Belyaev, driven by his curiosity about the common ancestry of dog breeds and their relationship with wolves and foxes, proposed targeted selection as a means to domesticate foxes rapidly. The economic significance of furs in the USSR further supported the initiative. With the approval of his experiment, Belyaev embarked on his groundbreaking research in Novosibirsk's Academgorodok. Collaboration and Selection: Belyaev collaborated with biologist Lyudmila Trut to carry out the experiment. Their first step was to visit fur farms across the USSR to select black-brown foxes that displayed the highest level of obedience. The specific selection criteria were known only to the researchers, ensuring the integrity of the experiment. Crossbreeding and Offspring: After careful selection, 30 males and around 100 females were chosen for the experiment. The researchers initiated a process of natural and controlled breeding, allowing the foxes to produce offspring. From these offspring, fox cubs exhibiting not only friendliness but also curiosity towards humans were selectively bred. The remaining foxes were either sent to zoos or used for breeding purposes. Remarkable Transformations: After several generations, significant changes began to manifest. The domesticated foxes showed a remarkable lack of fear towards humans, actively seeking contact and displaying increased interest. Their aggressive tendencies diminished, differentiating them from their wild counterparts. These friendly foxes even demonstrated happiness upon encountering humans, eagerly inviting interaction and seeking affectionate gestures. Physical and Behavioral Changes: The transformation of the domesticated foxes extended beyond their behavior. Anatomical changes became evident over time, with the foxes developing wider skulls. However, their legs experienced a reduction in length, potentially impacting their ability to run swiftly. Nevertheless, these changes did not hinder their enthusiasm for food, as they eagerly sprinted towards their bowls during feeding time. Expanded Breeding Potential: One of the most notable outcomes of the experiment was the increased breeding potential of domesticated foxes. Unlike their wild counterparts, they could mate at any time, resulting in more frequent occurrences of offspring. This aspect of the experiment further contributed to the understanding of genetic and behavioral changes associated with domestication. Conclusion: The domestication of foxes in Russia stands as a remarkable scientific experiment that shed light on the intricate process of domestication and the genetic and behavioral changes that occur over generations. Dmitry Belyaev and his team's pioneering work showcased the potential for targeted selection to expedite the domestication process. The experiment's success highlights the impact of genetic manipulation on the behavior and physical traits of animals. Through this study, the world gained valuable insights into the complex relationship between humans and the animal kingdom, opening new avenues for understanding domestication and evolutionary biology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5IkEbrDWTE

The domestication of foxes dates back to the 60s of the last century. Dmitry Belyaev, who is a geneticist, was redirected to Novosibirsk, where he continued to work on his research. Dmitry was tormented by the thought: why do many breeds of dogs have a common ancestor? How are they related to wolves and foxes? Looking at the same Chihuahua, it is hard to imagine that she furrowed the forests, fiercely fighting with competitors for food and territory. The biologist was of the opinion that targeted selection is the way to quickly domesticate the fox. The idea intrigued the high spheres from an economic standpoint. Furs in the USSR were an extremely important export product. Artificial breeding of animals would have an excellent effect on the state of the treasury. So, after some thought, the scientist's initiative was approved, starting the experiment in the Novosibirsk Academgorodok in the late 60s. The geneticist worked in tandem with Lyudmila Trut. The starting point of the experiment is a trip to the fur farms of the USSR in order to select the black-brown foxes that showed the greatest obedience. The selection criteria were known only to the scientist and his colleague. For the experiment, 30 males and a hundred females were selected, after which they began a natural and natural process - crossing. From the resulting offspring, fox cubs were selected, showing not only friendliness to humans, but also interest in him. The rest were distributed to zoos or sent for breeding. Changes appeared after several generations. The foxes were practically not afraid of people, willingly made contact, showed increased interest. In order for the experiment to give more impressive results, the rows of experimental subjects were diluted with carriers of red coats. What did you get in the end Only 10 generations were needed in order to bring out individuals who favored a person. Foxes expressed happiness at the sight of people, willingly turned their sides for stroking. Experimental animals have ceased to be aggressive, the fear of man, inherent in their wild relatives, is absent. Animals and "kissing" climbed constantly, licking the faces of trainers. The changes affected not only the character, but also the appearance. Chanterelles acquired a spotted and light color, and some representatives turned completely white. Anatomical changes were also not long in coming. Domesticated animals have acquired a wider skull, but the legs ... have shortened. Running after the mouse in the field will become much more difficult, but the marathon to the bowl of food will be handed over with a bang. Domesticated foxes can mate at any time, so offspring appear much more often. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AL8HFQg4kQ

Rh blood groups refer to a system of blood group antigens present on the surface of red blood cells. The term "Rh" stands for Rhesus, which is derived from the Rhesus monkey, as the antigen was first discovered in these animals. The Rh blood group system is one of the most clinically significant blood group systems after the ABO system. It involves a specific antigen called the Rh factor, also known as the D antigen. Individuals who have the Rh factor on their red blood cells are classified as Rh-positive (Rh+), while those who lack the Rh factor are classified as Rh-negative (Rh-). Rh blood group compatibility is crucial during blood transfusions and pregnancies. Rh-negative individuals can receive blood from both Rh-positive and Rh-negative donors, whereas Rh-positive individuals can only receive blood from Rh-positive donors. In pregnancy, Rh-negative mothers carrying an Rh-positive fetus can develop antibodies against the Rh factor, potentially causing complications in subsequent pregnancies. Rh blood groups are inherited genetically. If both parents are Rh-positive, their children can either be Rh-positive or Rh-negative. However, if one parent is Rh-negative and the other is Rh-positive, there is a chance of having Rh-positive children. Routine blood typing includes determining an individual's Rh blood group along with the ABO blood group. This information helps ensure safe blood transfusions, compatible organ donations, and proper prenatal care. It's important to note that the Rh blood group system has various other antigens besides the D antigen, such as C, c, E, and e antigens. These additional antigens contribute to further subdivisions within the Rh blood groups and are relevant in certain medical situations. Overall, understanding Rh blood groups is essential for medical professionals to provide appropriate and safe care for individuals requiring blood transfusions or prenatal care. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKR0NrA-fMM

The Most Important Advice in Your Life: Look at Her Mother When it comes to relationships, we all have our fair share of questions and uncertainties. Will this person be my partner for life? Will our love stand the test of time? While the future remains uncertain, there is a piece of advice that may offer valuable insight into the years to come. As a geneticist, I have learned the importance of understanding genetics and hereditary traits, and this advice has proven to be remarkably accurate: If you want to know how your girlfriend will look like in 25 years, look at her mother. This advice was passed down to me by my father, a man who understood the significance of genetics long before it became a popular topic of discussion. Although it may not be a foolproof formula, it offers a glimpse into the potential future appearance of your loved one. By observing the physical attributes of a woman's mother, you can gain valuable insights into what she may look like in the future. While lifestyle choices and external factors can certainly influence one's appearance, the fundamental laws of genetics cannot be ignored. Our genetic makeup plays a significant role in shaping our physical characteristics, and these traits are often passed down from one generation to the next. By looking at the mother-daughter relationship, we can witness the effects of these genetic inheritances firsthand. Imagine flipping through a photo album filled with pictures of mothers and daughters, taken with a time gap of at least 20 to 25 years. What would you notice? In many cases, you may observe striking similarities between the two generations. The shape of the eyes, the curve of the smile, or even the texture of the hair can often be passed down from mother to daughter. These glimpses into the future can help us envision the potential changes our loved ones may experience as they age. Of course, it's important to remember that this advice is not an absolute rule. Numerous factors influence our physical appearance, including lifestyle choices, environmental influences, and personal habits. Someone may inherit certain traits from their mother but lead a completely different lifestyle, resulting in a divergence from their genetic potential. Nevertheless, recognizing the influence of genetics can guide us in making more informed decisions in our relationships. If physical attractiveness is an essential aspect of your connection, understanding the potential trajectory of your partner's appearance can provide valuable insight into the long-term dynamics of your relationship. It's not about superficial judgments or attempting to control the future; it's about embracing knowledge and awareness to foster a deeper understanding of one another. While no one can predict the future with absolute certainty, the combination of genetics and observation can offer a glimpse into what lies ahead. By looking at a woman's mother, you may gain valuable insight into the potential changes and aging patterns that your girlfriend may experience over time. This knowledge can help you prepare emotionally and mentally, fostering a stronger bond based on understanding and acceptance. In conclusion, as a geneticist, I have witnessed the profound impact that our genetic makeup has on our physical appearance. While lifestyle factors can influence our appearance, the fundamental laws of genetics cannot be ignored. By observing a woman's mother, you can gain valuable insights into how she may look in the future. Remember, this advice is not meant to be a definitive answer but rather a tool to help you navigate the complexities of relationships with greater awareness. Embrace the knowledge, cherish the journey, and may your love transcend the boundaries of time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J_X2tLgbm8

White tigers, though uncommon, are perfectly natural as their yellow and black stripe cousins, Asian researchers have claimed rejecting an earlier theory that Royal Bengal Tigers turn white due to a genetic defect. The elusive tiger with white fur... The elusive tiger with white fur, dark stripes, pink paws, pink nose and blue eyes was once seen sporadically in India. They survived for 300 years but became extinct due to game-hunting and habitat loss. The last one was shot in 1958. For close to four decades scientists believed that Royal Bengal Tigers turned white due to albinism–absence of the skin pigment melanin. They thought it was similar to “albino”, a disorder caused by a defect in the genes. Mapping the genomes of a family of 16 tigers living in Chimelong Safari Park in China, including white and orange varieties, a team of Chinese and South Korean researchers have dispelled the earlier notion. They could not spot “albino” genes but stumbled upon a new genetic mechanism which suggests that the spectacular white coats are produced by a single change in a known pigment gene. The genetic analysis led the researchers to a pigment gene SLC45A2, which had already been associated with light colouration in modern Europeans and in other animals, including mouse, horse, chicken and medaka fish. The variant found in the white tiger primarily inhibits the synthesis of red and yellow pigments but has little to no effect on black, which explains why white tigers still show characteristic dark stripes. “The white tiger represents part of the natural genetic diversity of the tiger that is worth conserving, but is now seen only in captivity,” Shu-Jin Luo of China’s Peking University said. The findings have been published in the journal Current Biology. The scientists claim, since white-skinned tigers were as natural as the yellow ones, that they could be conserved in the wild. Records maintained by the Indian Tiger Welfare Society suggests that between 1920 and 1930s, as many as 15 white tigers were killed in Bihar as prized trophies, many of which are decorating museums in the UK and India. Historical records of white tigers on the Indian subcontinent date back to the 1500s. But the most famous white tiger was Mohan, a male captured in Rewa in Madhya Pradesh, from which numerous white tigers were bred for captivity Scientists said captive white tigers sometimes do show abnormalities, such as crossed eyes. But those frailties may have been caused due to inbreeding. After identifying the causal gene, the researchers plan to explore the evolutionary options that have maintained tigers in both orange and white varieties. #genetics #whitetiger #tiger #conservation #wildlife https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjOiFwtfUNs

The male beauty contest judged by women Make-up, flirting, bling outfits. But this beauty contest has a twist - the men dress up, the women pick the winners. What does the Wodaabe people's pageant tell us about male beauty? Tall, slim, facial symmetry and good teeth - this could be the universal tick list of a beauty pageant judge. And when the contestants are men, their faces painted with red, white and yellow clay, the aesthetic holds true. These unusual beauty contests, known as Gerewol, celebrate the fertility the rains bring to the parched edge of the Sahara. Niger's Wodaabe men decorate their faces and dance for hours to impress female judges - who may take them as lovers. Lipstick and beads may be associated with femininity in Western eyes, but the ceremonial costumes aim to emphasise male beauty. - Tall and athletic: Ostrich plumes and pompoms emphasise height - Narrow face: Decorated with red ochre - Wide eyes: Black eyeliner made from charred egret bones - Facial symmetry: Enhanced with black, yellow and white patterns - Aquiline nose: White clay arrow stripe to look more streamlined - Long braids and cowrie shells: Symbolise fertility and wealth - White and regular teeth: Bared and emphasised with black lipstick - Good dancer: Beaded necklaces and bodices jangle against chest in time to the beat The colours used are symbolic too, says Mette Bovin, a Danish anthropologist who has worked with the Wodaabe since the 1970s. Red ochre, which coats the face, is associated with blood and violence and so only used on special occasions. Yellow clay, used by some dancers to paint patterns on the face, is the colour of magic and transformation. And black, to darken lips and emphasise eyes, is a favourite hue, partly because it is the opposite of white - the colour of loss and death, says Bovin in her book Nomads Who Cultivate Beauty. Adding to the black lipstick's significance, it is made from the charred bones of the cattle egret, a bird the Wodaabe associate with "expressivity", says Bovin. "To have charm - that is to have expressivity and charisma - is highly valued in a young man." The dance moves emulate the poise of the egret, and the men sing by vibrating lips painted with this "bird-lipstick", as Bovin describes it. And the prize? Each judge chooses her champion and may take him as her lover - even if both already have partners - and the winners are celebrated for years to come. Nor is the potential for match-making limited to judges and winners. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZgIcwV-Rkk

Did you know that indians as athnicity were formed as a result of numerous waves of migration - the most important of them is migration from Iran and from the southern territories of present-day Russia who mixed with aboriginal people. Perhaps for many of you it will be a discovery that among the Indians, the largest percentage of steppe blood can be found among not the Brahmins, but among the - the Jats known for ther warrior spirit and loyalty. Jats are distinguished by their physical constitution, there are many Olympic champions among them .. And indeed, outwardly they are very similar to the inhabitants of the Caucasian region of Russia, compare: Caucasians, although they represent only 1-2% of the population of Russia, but for example in marshal arts they often make up to 50% of the national team.. They are well-built and aggressive... And were able to confront much more technically superior Federal army for almost 10 years. In my opinion the resemblance to the Jats is obvious.. What do you think? The Jat people (Jat: जाट, also spelt Jatt: जट्ट), are a 33 million strong ethnic group of people native to South Asia mainly in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan as well as in Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand , Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra et all. They are classed various such as an ethnic group, race, tribe and a people.[3][4] James Tod on the basis of earlier historical evidence enlisted them in the list of Thirty Six Royal Races of India. The Jat people are considered as the merged descendants of Indo-Aryans, Indo-Scythian tribes of the region, merging to form the Jat people. An uninformed view is that Jat is a farmer-caste (caste = social group) but Jat is really a race (race = ethnic group). Only a subset of the over 900 million farmers in south Asia are Jats. There are specific Jat DNA markers in the genetic profile, as highlighted in the Jat Genetics section. The Jat people follow different faiths and are engaged in different professions. They have a discrete and distinct cultural history that can be historically traced back to ancient times. The Jat people were designated by the British Empire as a Martial Race. Martial Races were races & peoples that were naturally warlike and aggressive in battle, and possess qualities like courage, loyalty, self sufficiency, physical strength, resilience, orderliness, hard working, fighting tenacity and military strategy. The British Empire recruited heavily from these Martial Races for service in their Armies. A strategy that is still used today (21st century) in Armies of South Asian countries e.g. The famous Jat Regiment & the Gurkhas. It would be relevant to know the core concepts of Jat people, their culture and history. Read Learning Jat people's history to understand why Jat people regard it is so important to understand their culture and history. #Jatt #Jat #Jaat #Jutt #Jutes #Sikh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avYItAN-dM4

Here is map here is a korea, china and japan. Do you think Koreans more closely related to Chinese or Japanese? Here is the hint: Ethnic Chinese costume, Korean, and Japanese... Not clear yet? A population genetic study was undertaken to investigate the origin of Koreans. Genetic distance analyses by both cluster and principal components models were performed between Koreans and eight other populations on the basis of 47 alleles controlled by 15 polymorphic loci. These analyses demonstrated genetic evidence of the origin of Koreans from the central Asian Mongolians. Further, the Koreans are more closely related to the Japanese and quite distant from the Chinese. The above evidence of the origin of Koreans fits well with the ethnohistoric account of the origin of Koreans and the Korean language. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQfvj3yT-Vk

As fighting continues in the Middle East, a new genetic study shows that many Arabs and Jews are closely related. More than 70% of Jewish men and half of the Arab men whose DNA was studied inherited their Y chromosomes from the same paternal ancestors who lived in the region within the last few thousand years. The results match historical accounts that some Moslem Arabs are descended from Christians and Jews who lived in the southern Levant, a region that includes Israel and the Sinai. They were descendants of a core population that lived in the area since prehistoric times. And in a recent study of 1371 men from around the world, geneticist Michael Hammer of the University of Arizona in Tucson found that the Y chromosome in Middle Eastern Arabs was almost indistinguishable from that of Jews. #Arabs #jews #genetics #haplogroups https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSoT1tw6uWM

Are Indians caucasians? It’s complicated but the short answer is yes. Anthropologists classify race by bone structure not complexion. The bone structure of people from India is similar to the bone structure of Europeans. But not everyone classifies race that way. Most people go by color and most would simply call Indians brown or Southeast Asian. Historically in the United States, East Indians self identify as white in order to distance themselves from African-Americans although Indians also refer to themselves as brown. There is sometimes a paranoid fear of being mistaken for Black people. Nikki Haley, the Indian American ex governor of South Carolina, whose parents are from Punjab in Northwest India, identified as 'white' on her voter registration card in 2001. But she has called herself a person of color when it suited her politically. So the answer to the question is Indians are caucasian but they are brown caucasians just as many Arabs are. In other words, all white people are Caucasians but not all Caucasians are white people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHMBpr5H_SA

This can occur naturally in some people due to genetics or as a result of autoimmune disorders, such as vitiligo. Vitiligo is a condition that causes the loss of skin color in patches, and it occurs when the melanocytes, which produce the pigment that gives color to the skin, are destroyed. The affected areas may appear lighter or completely white, and the condition can be treated with various therapies, including medications, phototherapy, and surgical treatments.

Ancient Egyptians were closer to Armenians than to Africans; a new genetics study reveals A recent study sheds light on the age old question “who were the ancient Egyptians?” A team of international scientists from the University of Tuebingen and the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Germany analyzed the DNA of 93 Egyptian mummies dating from approximately 1400 BCE to 400 CE. The evidence from their study reveals a surprising close relation to ancient people of the Near East such as Armenians. Our analyses reveal that ancient Egyptians shared more ancestry with Near Easterners than present-day Egyptians, who received additional sub-Saharan admixture in more recent times. We find that ancient Egyptians are most closely related to Neolithic and Bronze Age samples in the Levant, as well as to Neolithic Anatolian and European populations. Furthermore, the researchers found that over the 1,300-year period that the mummies represented, the population genetics of the ancient Egypt stayed surprising stable, despite foreign invasions. The genetics of the Abusir el-Meleq community did not undergo any major shifts during the 1,300-year timespan we studied, suggesting that the population remained, genetically, relatively unaffected by foreign conquest and rule. said Wolfgang Haak, from the Max Planck Institutes. Map of Egypt depicting the location of the archaeological site Abusir-el Meleq (orange X) and the location of the modern Egyptian samples (orange circles) Map of Egypt depicting the location of the archaeological site Abusir-el Meleq (orange X) and the location of the modern Egyptian samples (orange circles) The sub-Saharan African genetic influx seems to have only started after the Roman period, which coincides with the advent of monotheism in particularly Islam. Hence why modern Egyptians are more genetically shifted towards African people than the ancient Egyptians. We found the ancient Egyptian samples falling distinct from modern Egyptians, and closer towards Near Eastern and European samples. In contrast, modern Egyptians are shifted towards sub-Saharan African populations. So it turns out that modern Egyptians share more genetic ancestry with Sub-Saharan Africans than ancient Egyptians did, while the ancient Egyptians show a closer genetic affinity with ancient people from the Near East and the Levant like Armenians. Tutankhamun’s paternal lineage Something similar was revealed a few years ago when a controversy erupted surrounding Tutankhamun’s paternal lineage. Egyptian scholars have tested the autosomal and Y-DNA markers of three Pharaohs of the 18th dynasty : Amenhotep III, his son Akhenaten and grandson Tutankhamun. The aim was to determine the cause of death of Tutankhamun, who died at age 19. They however did not release the genetic data to the public themselves. The Discovery Chanel was making a documentary about this research and perhaps by mistake has recorded and aired some of the results from scientists computers. Keen observers of the genetics company iGENEA quickly pointed out that the video from Discovery Channel shows the Y-STR results, which appear to be R1b. R1b and its variants is rare among modern Egyptians and the Middle East, it is however quite common in Europe and among the Armenians. This revelation however has not been taken seriously by academia, since the results were never officially published by Egyptian scholars. Looking back however, with the recent study in mind, it is highly possible that the ancient Egyptian Pharaohs had European or Armenian ancestry. Ancient Europeans and modern Armenians The Armenian Highlands and Anatolia form a bridge connecting Europe, the Near East and the Caucasus. Anatolia’s location and history have placed it at the centre of several modern human expansions in Eurasia: it has been inhabited continuously since at least the early Upper Palaeolithic, and has the oldest known monumental complex built by huntergatherers ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsxqMVZHBLQ

Seeing a white glow Seeing a white glow in the eye of a child in a photograph can be really worrying. You may have seen it in a photo of your own little one, or you’ve spotted it in a friend’s photo and you’re worried about what to say. Here we’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions around the white glow, what causes it and what to do if you see it: What causes white eye in photographs? Sometimes, when a photo of a child is taken using a flash, one (or both) of the eyes looks like it has a white glow or reflection in it. This is different to the usual “red eye” and is known as a “white reflex”. This may appear in lots of photos of the child or you may only see it in one photo. You may also be able to see it with the naked eye (ie not in photos) when they are in a darkened room. There are several causes of this, and the most common one is simply a light shining off the optic nerve. This happens when light entering the eye at a certain angle is reflected, causing a white eye effect and is totally harmless. However, the white reflex could be a sign of something more serious including, occasionally, retinoblastoma, a rare form of eye cancer that affects babies and young children mainly under the age of six. It’s very important to remember that retinoblastoma is rare and only affects around 50 children a year in the UK. There are other, much more likely causes of this white eye effect. However, we urge parents who have seen the white reflex in their child’s eyes to get it checked out as soon as possible just to rule out anything serious.
