That explains the lack of intelligence among the Essex community.

I thought it was a football thread...

[larvidchr]

Herman got it wrong as usual, it's the Germans and English that have a lot of Scandinavian blood, Germany is half and half on our blood and then Suthern European blood, it is called the Scandinavian Y chromosome

But the "Master race" have always longed for it to become theirs, especially the little darkish Roman types

I have a compulsion to lie under glass coffee tables.

Lervy, my ole brother. Where have you been all my Life. The resemblance is undenyable.

I realize that this is "tongue in cheek" and probably designed to draw out the Anglo-supremacists such a Marmite, but WHY is this surprising? English is a Germanic language and even our Queen has Germanic ancestry. As the Merkans would say" Big Fucking Deal"!!!

[astasinim]

It could be much worse. We could be half French.

This makes sense more so than any other theory.
But we forget the Moors' ancestreal influence - certainly in the U.K.

You got a link for that?

That's nothing,geneticist claim that almost half of we Americans have human blood in us.

Nope, theyre of Norse stock.

The ancestral lack of maths ability is all the evidence we need.

It could be much worse. We could be half French.

Do Normans count?

Nope, theyre of Norse stock.

Nope, they're a fusion configuration of haplotypes shared by Scandinavians and French, which simply adjusts the variation of percentages of these, mainly resulting in a reinforcement of most of them, and a diminishment of the ones that are less frequently associated with western and northern europeans.

nothing to do with 'cking gravy.


...and I very much doubt Einstein shares the same DNA as Schiffer and Becker...

1. the y-chromosome hapogroup in question predominates in the area once known as the Danegeld, and in East Anglia... it's mainly eastern England... and calling the chromome German, makes as much sense as calling it Pakistani, as such countries and cultural entities did not exist during the main phase of it's propagation.

Blood? Stock? Moors? Don't you mean trolls?
It's t'other way round... the Moors of Barbary kidnapped enormous numbers of people from the west coast of Europe during the piracy period more often associated with the Caribbean, there's a lot of Irish in the Atlas mountains and Algeria...

[Extreme Gape Lover]

Must be hard to be English. Even harder to be Aussie or Yank.

God gave me the gift of being born a Welshman. Pure blood that has remained untouched, and will continue to be untouched by evil outsiders.
Even the mighty Roman empire did not Venture far into Gods own land. Wales. Land of the pure.

No Mongrels in Wales. I am so lucky. I really feel sorry for you Mongrels.

Nah, they just rounded up all the druids onto Anglesey and massacred them, took most your gold, while Dai just watched on whilst stuck up the back end of a sheep. Pure as you like mate.

[Extreme Gape Lover]

Thanks. If any of you impure Mongrels ever need a shoulder to cry on, call the Samaritans and keep your contaminated wretched bodies well away from me.

Obviously you have never lived in Ireland! The Irish were not kidnapped, they bought tickets to be first in line Sun sea fresh fruit and above all several 100 miles away from the English!!!

Yip, the earliest settlers are thought to have migrated by boat to Ireland from spain. Also these people reached North America. Apparently happened when the Atlantic was a much calmer Ocean and the Ice was further south and had a calming effect.

An American Archeologist was debunked for years, after finding artifacts that pre dated and had european design features completely different than the Asian Land bridge theory would suggest. It was only when they found a gene that could only be attributed to Northern Spain was his reputation was somewhat restored.
