out of Africa


Mama's DNA says we are Haplogroup T. out of east Africa upward and finally in northern Europe. We walked along side Kings in time past...
The last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II, has been shown to be of Haplogroup T, specifically subclade T2.[9] This was established when genetic testing was done on his remains to authenticate his identity. Assuming all relevant pedigrees are correct, this includes all female-line descendants of his female line ancestor Barbara of Celje (1390-1451), wife of Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor. This includes a great number of European nobles, including George I of Great Britain and Frederick William I of Prussia (through the Electress Sophia of Hanover), Charles I of England, George III of the United Kingdom, George V of the United Kingdom, Charles X Gustav of Sweden, Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange, Olav V of Norway, and George I of Greece. Many European royals have been found to be of this mtDNA Haplogroup, in addition to Haplogroup H (mtDNA)
According to the theory of recent African origin of modern humans, the mainstream position held within the scientific community, all humans originate from East Africa.[23] Some of the earliest fossilized hominid remains have been found in East Africa, including those found in Awash Valley of Ethiopia, Koobi Fora in Kenya and Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania.
Gifts in our DNA from mama...
Some studies have shown Haplogroup T to be associated with increased risk for coronary artery disease.[4] However, some studies have also shown that people of Haplogroup T are less prone to diabetes.[5]

A few tentative medical studies have demonstrated that Haplogroup T may offer some resistance to both Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

Sister, don't forget Jesse James Momma was Haplo T2. We might have a little outlaw in our blood to go with the royalist.
