I'm a mutt, as probably everyone is, as far as I can tell, I'm:
1/4 Swiss
1/8 Scottish
1/8 English
1/32 Native American
The rest I don't know, I know those 4 to some degree, but I'm not sure about the fractions really. There is a lot I'm missing.

I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

Rhinocerous Surprise '08!!!
Achso fraulein. Privet kak' dela?
That's a pretty even mix, you sure that's all?
I'm supposedly a DAR (Daughter of the American Revolution), but I think my mom has the paperwork on it. Then again, I think my mom likes to exaggerate.
And then again, the American Indian might be in question, too.
So how about I just say: I'm American, and damn proud of it, even though my asshole of a President calls me a 'mer-can and can't say nuclear or terrorist to save his ass.

German, English, Irish, Scottish, French ... in that order, but I'm not sure about the percentages.

Maternal and Paternal Granparents ~ Australian
Great Grandfather ~ Northern Ireland of Scots Irish decent
Great Grandmother ~ 1st generation Australian of Irish decent
Great Grandfather ~ Australian of Irish decent (and possible aboriginal decent)
Great Grandmother ~ Australian of Irish decent
Great Grandfather ~ Australian of Irish and Polish decent
Great Grandmother ~ Australian of Irish and Kiwi decent
Great Grandfather ~ Australian of English decent
Great Grandmother ~ Australian of English and Irish decent
I can go back further but they're all the folk that were alive when I was born.

Hold on to the thread

I read the reason people have white skin, although it burns and can become cancerous in climates near the equator, absorbs more nutrients from the sun were sunlight is minimal in northern areas..
Moms Side: European immigrants with irish ancestors and some from wales
(my moms side is a bit mysterious, they don't know a lot of the details on where some of the family actualy immigrated from. :( )
Thats one theory.
[one of] The other theory, and the difference is subtle, is that the skin became whiter simply from a lack of necessity. In other words, skin is dark to help protect the body from overexposure to sun. Therefore as the intensity of light decreases with distance to the north, so can the body stop producing as much color to block out the sun. You see how the difference is sublte, but apparently worth argument in scientific circles. One says that we NEEDED nutrients and therefore the skin HAD to get lighter to adapt. The other says that the skin simply did NOT need to be dark, and so therefore began to lighten. The biological advantage that the lightened skinned folks then had caused their numbers to increase in proportion to those northerners that did not have light skin, but their skin did not get lighter because of a need, necessarily. I just find it interesting the way the scientists "argue" these points.
Evolutionary theory is funny. You have the theories that certain traits arose because of some biological necessity or advantage, and then the counter-theories that it was really just a kind've accident that nature then exploited. Not every thing is causal ... sometimes it's just random chance that gains the individual with the mutation an advantage and so the mutation spreads.
If I opened it now would you not understand?
we must be related mutts
although not in the same order and switch up the French for Dutch. so I'm more in the order of Irish, English, German, Scottish and Dutch. the only percentage that i'm certain of is being 1/4 Irish

Lot more people here in Oz suffering Vitamin D deficiency since the hole in the ozone layer got bigger over our heads and the incidence of skin cancer rose, making the Slip Slop Slap message much more necessary. There has even been an increase in kids getting rickets which I read somewhere they think is caused by our Slip Slop Slap necessity. I think it also occurs in mothers from cultures where the women are covered up a lot and this is getting passed on to the children.

Agreed! my Dad did our family history all the way back to 1602 on his Mother's side, turns out they've lived in that same area since then! Then my mum did her family history cuz she was adopted as a baby, she was a geneological mystery too but we whittled it down to Romany Gypsy and Scottish, thats how she found her real Dad and Bro in Canada! It's so interesting finding out just how messed up our gene pools really are! lol
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
That's awesome!!
I was so lucky to be at Saintes Maries de la Mer for the annual Romany gypsy pilgrimage a few years back! It was FANTASTIC!!
