I don't understand this statement at all. Surely everyone alive today is
descended from someone in the Bronze Age. Do you mean that many genes have
mutated and weren't around in the Bronze Age?

Beste Paul and Ron,

concerning LL-L 'Genetics' you wrote:

*Paul:*

The problem with Y-Chromosome descent is that is indicates father-to-son
descent only.
Yes- this was mentioned in the complete version of text.

der Welt ";
Maybe that this was not meant seriously...

The same with me! But if there really still today are descendants from these
times, doesn't it spot a complete new light upon the theories about the *
Voelkerwanderung,* migration of the peoples? Don't forget- the region we are
talking about is sited in the centre of Middle Europe.
For me it shows a new kind of continuity- let it be of culture or language-
I'd never had expected before! (No- it just *could* show, after the whole
matter is really verified.)

*Paul once more:*
> The head of steam raised on other sites I belong to when this comes up is
unbelievable!
Just put a lid on the pot filled with people of small minds...

Allerbest!

The Cheddar area of Somerset?

Hi all,

How fascinating, Ron, about your B+ blood type and its distribution amongst
various
countries.

My dad is a B+ but my mom was an O, and so two of my siblings are O and 4
are
B+, myself included.

Where did you get the information, by the way?

Regards,

Elsie Zinsser

Similar here, Elsie, just the other way around: my mother was B+ and my
father O.

I attached links. Here they are again:

There are some maps among them as well -- here direct:
