my Genographic Project kit

A couple of months ago, i bought a kit from the Genographic Project. The postal service lost it the first time... some sort of weird, byzantine shit about strictly and perversely interpreted subcontracts that made my little corner a world a black hole for the postal service. Then Stephen Colbert did his show on it, and i gnashed my teeth.

The replacement that National Geographic provided finally arrived yesterday.

I've done one swab already. The mtDNA test seems to be the way to go for my amusement, as most likely with the Y chromosome test, as i'll probably just wind up with R1b, and probably R1b1c at that.

My DNA is pretty whitebread on my father's side, solidly Western European. The probability of getting R1b just doesn't make it worth it to find if there is something unexpected in there.

I'm going to lay some odds in the coming days on the results, just to amuse myself.
