    • @BlaBla-hq1bu
      @BlaBla-hq1bu Před 4 lety +11

      It's a bit more complicated than Lindy made it look.
      They effectivly look at every gene by itself and find out who else in there data base has the same gene. Then they look how many of those people are of a specific nationality and if the percentage lies over the confidence value. If it does, they asign this gene to this nationality. If it does not, they simply take a more vaguely defined group, like from British to broad North-West European.
      So if you're increasing the confidence value, the big picture does not get more accurate, but more vague. On the other hand, the values they still give you for specific small groups, they are dead certain about.
      So it does not say those genes are not French with a probability of 90%, but that they cannot say with a certainty of 90% that they are.
      And of course some of those groupings are just outright laughable. Like a North German from the Danish border has as much in common with a southern Frenchman from the Provence gentically speaking as a Dane has with a North Italian. And you would probably never group those two together.
      So you should always take those tests with a huge grain of salt.
      If you wanted to know your real ancestry you would have to invest hundreds to even thousands of hours into hunting down church registers and that's just not worth it.
      Anyway, have a nice day and thank you for reading this text wall.

    So Lindybeige, a French guy and a black African are sitting in a waiting room in hospital, where their respective partners are giving birth. The nurse comes out of the delivery room and announces, that all the women are alright, however she says "Gentlemen, I am sorry, we were in a bit of a hurry and we are not sure, if we didn't mix-up some of the babies..." Lindybeige jumps up, runs in the delivery room, grabs the black newborn, runs out and while bypassing the shocked nurse and the African man, trying to catch him, he shouts "Screw you, I'm not risking a french one!"

    23andme is accurate to within 2% or 3% so any figures lower than that are not reliable. Therefore It is safe to say Lloyd is 100% North west European, and the 0.7 southern dna is probably nothing. Also 23andme can't properly distinguish English Germanic DNA from the pre-Anglo-Saxon DNA of the British Isles so all English people get a bit of "Scandinavian" and "french and German" which the latest algorithm can further distinguish and often comes up as "Netherlands" and "Germany". These don't necessarily mean you have recent dutch or german ancestors, as this may just be normal English DNA from the Anglo-Saxons

      While i don't think you should but too much weight or thought into it, and you are right that we all are humans and should treat each other equally. I do think race exist or alteast we do have diffrent genetics depending on our ancestry. For example much of the world and in particular Europeans have some % of neanderthal DNA in us. While people from Africa that is of pure african ancestry does not. Alot of traits vary depending on ancestry. For example Asian people does in general have higher IQ than the rest of the world. Among other things. It's when you start to think that some ''races'' are more superior then others when you have a problem.
      If you look at cats or dogs they have diffrent ''races'' aswell because they have slightly diffrent DNA. But they can still breed with each other and are of the same speices.

      The spectre of scientific racism can easily be summoned when statistics and genetics are presented. Not to mention publically announcing the likelyhood of having certain health issues makes it easier for health insurance companies to alter their rates (not likely at the moment, but the future is another world). The latter is less of an issue in the UK. But it's likely part of the reason for why they have a disclaimer for the health problems section.

      Well technically it's difficult to not be somewhat French simply because of the history of demography in Europe. Long-story short : before 1000AD almost half of the western european popualtion lived in the present-day territory of France because it was the most fertile place (and people migrated outward much more than people usually think). Additionally English and French people are genetically very similar even though they might not want to recognize it, early on both kingdoms had quite an intertwined history to the point it was kind of difficult differenciating what was French and what was English.

    I live nearby the "Neadertal/Neanderthal". The place in Germany is actually called after a Pastor from the 17th century, Joachim Neander, who was a poet and liked to write his lyrics in a valley. Valley in German is "Tal" or back then "Thal".
    So they named the Valley after him, because he liked it so much, "Neanderthal". The Valley was also used to gain Limestone (and there are still Limestone mines in this area today), and in one of those mines, they discovered the bones of a strange human. Today we know this humans as Neanderthals.
    There is a museum about it of course, and if you live nearby you have to visit is a couple of times in school and kindergarden, because it is local...

    • @MrFusselig
      @MrFusselig Před 6 lety +4

      I wouldn´t know about this, if I wouldn´t live nearby. Very local history stuff. If our teachers wanted to take us for a school trip, this museum was the first choice, because they could shove us into a public bus, push us out of the bus 10 minutes later, and we would be there. Easy! So we had to visit the Neandthal Museum every now and then, and there is no way you can miss it a kid growing up in the area.
      So, if the teacher asked us if we wanted to visit the Neanderthal Museum, our answer was "Again?!"

      Yeah, 23andme really screwed up my results. I have a full Scandinavian grandparent but they told me I'm only 7.6% Scandinavian, but also 13.4% "Broadly Northwestern European" and way too British and Irish. They also told me I'm 9.8% French and German, but they had no clue which one of the 7+ countries they list in that category I descend from.

    "Photic sneeze response"... so that is why that one Korean kid in my grammar school always sneezed when they took a class photo with a flash bulb! Every single class photo has him captured mid-sneeze.

      I have a photic sneeze reflex and it’s horrible and life altering. Every change in light levels, even a tiny bit, causes at least four sneezes in a row.
      I sneeze hundreds of times a day and try to stay in complete darkness as much as I can. I even have a letter for my work that allows me to have the lights dimmed.

      @@mamavswild Ouch. As I've gotten older, I've become sensitive to changes in temperature so a slight draft that wouldn't bother me a few years ago will set off a sneezing fit. Of course it's easier to avoid drafts than it is to avoid changes in light, so I guess I have to count my blessings.

    Thank you, Lloyd, for the lovely inset of a group of 'Tefal Heads' at 0:42. This took me right back to an age of weird schoolboy insults. To shout 'Tefal Head' at someone, was almost as joyous as doing the 'Jimmy Hill Chin' gesture. My brother and I saw Jimmy Hill in Cornwall once, at a night- time fair. He seemed a bit of a berk, actually. My dad hated him, and his opinion, which was severe, could be heard when 'Match Of The Day' ( a show I never got, because nothing on it ever matched, and it just seemed to be full of muddy idiots running about after a child's toy) was on, was the grimly muttered phrase: "That c**t Jimmy Hill", leading to my eleven year old brother, standing about ten feet away from the TV pundit, to point, and then shout out, to my glee, and my parents' horror: "It's that c**t Jimmy Hill!" We didn't stay.

      You're welcome. I had to cook up that graphic myself, using a very old out-of-copyright image of some scientists. I recall the expressions 'Jimmy Hill' and 'chin-er' being used as synonyms, or there was the hand gesture of stroking the chin in a particular way. I think Mr Hill was credited with the introduction of three points for a win, which I think improved the league scoring system.
