I am sorry. I cannot think of a single useful purpose for this research. Any of you guys got any idea?
A similar piece of research has been going on in the Isle of Man in an attempt to identify the true Manx people’s rather than the Liverpudlian Comeovers.
Well you could say the same of any kind of archaeology, this one is Archaeogenetics and exploration of scientific topics has always been a case of looking into things where people could not see a point or profit. Marie Curie studied radioactivity in certain ores, there was no real point in doing so other than the curiosity of knowing what was going on, that led to nuclear power, the atomic bomb, cancer therapies, the understanding of the atom, of X-rays, theories of quantum mechanics the whole field of particle physics, the understanding and creation of lasers, it almost never ends that exploration resulted in the modern world. Curiosity does not set out with predetermined profit or goal, we explore all avenues open to us genetics and the advances in chemistry also trace back to Curie's work basic understanding of genetics and how evolution works in fine detail could potentially lead to mastery of engineering the genome of humans to cure hereditary disease, Archaeogenetics is a branch of genetics it is extending our understanding that's its purpose we never know where any research could lead we do it because it could always lead somewhere interesting or useful or help lay the foundations of a new technology or science.
genuine " corkheads" ( caulkheads)--natives of the isle if Wight--particularly Wroxall--a village near Ventnor are reputed to have 6 fingers and toes. So they can swim better.
Other way round! Manx people went looking for work in Liverpool and this created there ancestors in the Isle of Man. I went there once and had a great holiday.
Nope. That’s wrong. Believe it or not they are of Viking origin. https://isogg.org/wiki/Manx_DNA_Project
On the subject of indigenous people, didn't one of the American human zoo's once have some Negrito from Negros as an exhibit and declare them the missing link?
I guessed it would be as soon as I posted the comment because I had the temerity to suggest you were wrong. It's a fact that people left the Isle of Man to seek work in Liverpool ( not the other way round as you suggest) . I note the red herring you threw in about Vikings. As a " lifetime member" put it " you could start an argument in an empty room" But hey I've got better things to do than debate with a person who neither has the good grace or wisdom to admit that they are wrong. Argue with the authors on this link about the point. Isle_of_Man_demographics Got to dash the fat lady is singing!
That’s not a red herring it’s a fact. The vikings settled in the Isle of Man initially. If you have been there you would know. Maybe at some point the Manx folk did nip across to Liverpool to seek work. But that is not relevant. Do you ever admit you are wrong? Never and you are wrong a considerable amount.
So here’s the study on Manx DNA. Who gives a toss. https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/manx-ydna/about
Yes. It’s the weirdest thing, how they got there but seemingly they came over the top of Scotland and down the west coast. Many of the villages have Viking names. The Parliament (first in the world) Tynwald, is Viking in origin.
I admit when I am wrong you dont! (please quantify the considerable amount in your view), in a post above you used the term "Liverpudlian comeovers* I said it was wrong it was the reverse a point you acknowledge in this post. The fact that the vikings settled in the IOM initially was a red herring in the point about Liverpudlians. Consider this how many engage with you in debate? Oss, Jim anyone else? why is that? Off to listen to the fat bird singing, oh I got that wrong to! pmsl
