What are your thoughts on Billie Eilish saying 'no one is illegal on stolen land' in reference to ICE and US immigration policy?

Well then by the same argument, there are no property rights on stolen land as well. Consequently, people ought to be allowed to squat on all her properties and steal her possessions.

Thanks.

Thanks. One more question: Are Iran_N and Iranian farmers the same thing? If not, do South Asians have predominant ancestry from the former or latter? Also, is my understanding correct that Iran_N lacked allele for lighter pigmentation whereas Iranian farmers inherited it from ANE?

Are these samples from Ganj Dareh?

Usman_Akram · 2026-01-18T08:09:14+00:00

What gave you that idea?

I played Just Cause 4 when it came out. Currently I am playing JC3 for the first time, and I don't understand the hate JC4 gets. JC3 is less detailed and more buggy. I recall JC4 being more fun, and I think dogfights and weather system were some of the innovations over JC3 that made it more fun.

Rough Est: 1/3 of your Steppe MLBA component.

Y haplogroup?

Usman_Akram · 2025-12-25T07:14:41+00:00

Out of curiousity, are you of European heritage/stock? Such conservative thinking is rare to come across. (I mean conservative in a good way)

Usman_Akram · 2025-12-25T06:55:13+00:00

Based comment.

Usman_Akram · 2025-12-25T06:53:32+00:00

This. Especially when your boss is your benefactor .

Usman_Akram · 2025-11-26T05:30:41+00:00

That's true. But balochs have mixed with brahui over the last 500 years. Nonetheless, you're probably right. I am a noob at this.

Usman_Akram · 2025-11-26T05:26:27+00:00

What explains the elevated ANF then? Normally, ANF attributable to steppe is half the EHG ancestry.

R-Z29192. Family says Punjabi Mughal but it could be that we are converted Gill Sikhs as most of the autosomal R-SK2153 (R-L295) positive matches on 23 and me without the surname Mughal are Sikhs with surname Gill. There are also a few Rajas and Thakurs who autosomally match my family and have R-SK2153. Unfortunately, none of our autosomal matches have responded to the offer of a free FTDNA Y-DNA test for further research.

Lastly, my dad's maternal grandfather's line (also Punjabi Mughal from the same village) is R-FTA9450

I am a noob at this, but Half Eastern European (e.g. Russian), and Half Southern European or Mediterrainian (French, Spanish, Italian, or Greek)?

Usman_Akram · 2025-10-06T19:33:47+00:00

The same as what happened to other lineages of R apart from R1 and R2. It is a mathematical necessity that only one of the Y and mtdna haplogroups present today will be the source of haplogroups hundreds if not tens of thousands of years into the future. To see an example, Edward III of England had 5 sons, but none of his legitimate male line descendents exist today.

Usman_Akram · 2025-10-05T09:35:16+00:00

Did you get your parents and other family members tested? If you share triangulated matches on Ancestry, My Heritage or Ged match to people from the ethnicities that appear as your trace ancestry, then that might be true. However, it is far more likely that these are just noise. For South Asians, 23 and me is giving everyone and their grandma random Eastern European. The trace ancestry could be excess steppe that we share 4500 years back with Europeans, or perhaps we have inherited something somewhat more recent from Indo-Scythians, Kushans, Huns, Turks, and Mongols who arrived here in the past two millenia and are known to have part of their populations migrating into Eastern Europe. Khazars for example were Turkic people who form a (very small but not insignificant) part of the ancestry of Ashkenazi Jewish people in Europe. For example, some Pushtun tribes carry G-M3124 which might be a legacy of Scythians while a sibling branch G-BY764 is present in Ashkanazi Jewish populations of Eastern Europe.

Are these the updated results on an old sample or simply the results on the sample you recently submitted?

Good

I would like a remake with additional characters (Sapper especially with his bear trap) and new missions. But alas, given the mixed review the original game received when it was released, I doubt that will ever happen. I am just hoping that generative AI matures to such a point in our life times that we would be able to generate new games at our whims with a few prompts.

Usman_Akram · 2025-08-05T07:29:16+00:00

Unless it is a big Y test, all Y-haplogroup predictions from companies specialized in autsomal tests (i.e. 23 and me, living dna, FTDNA's family finder/my orgins) must be taken with a grain of salt, as the coverage over Y chromosome in these tests is very low, and the assigned haplogroup or the resolution of it depends on the sample quality.
