Subject: [WX] GENO-2.0

         Your Results
         Your Genographic results are ready, and 
you can begin exploring right away! We?ve tested 
over 150,000 genetic markers from your DNA in 
order to tell you, in unprecedented detail, who 
you are and where your ancestors come from. Your 
results have been divided into two sections: 
?Your Story? and ?Who Am I??. The video below 
will give you an overview of what you can expect 
to see in your results. We hope you enjoy this unique and personal journey.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
You?ve come a long way. Are you ready to find out 
just how far? ?Your Story? will tell you about 
your branch on the human family tree, and give 
you a map of the journey your ancestors took 
thousands of years ago out of our shared African origins.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The ?Who Am I? section reveals the details of 
your ancestral makeup ­- including your 
Neanderthal percentage! This unprecedented 
insight into your ancestry is made possible by 
revolutionary advances in genetic technology.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Your  Maternal Line  L2a1c
         The common direct maternal ancestor to 
all women alive today was born in East Africa 
about 180,000 years ago. Though not the only 
woman alive at the time, hers is the only line to 
survive into current generations.
         Your branch of this lineage remained in 
Africa. Many from this line belong to Bantu 
cultural groups. They took part in the historic 
Bantu expansion and helped reshape the genetics 
of Africa. However, other branches traveled 
toward Ethiopia and the Arabian Peninsula.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your   Paternal Line  R-CTS11567
         The common direct paternal ancestor of 
all men alive today was born in Africa around 
140,000 years ago. He was neither the first human 
male nor the only male alive in his time. He was 
the only male whose direct lineage is present in 
current generations. Most men, including your 
direct paternal ancestors, trace their ancestry 
to one of this man?s descendants.
         Your branch of this lineage took part in 
out-of-Africa migrations. Your ancestors traveled 
to West Asia where they lived by hunting wildlife 
and gathering wild fruits and berries. Over time, 
groups containing this branch spread west toward 
Europe and east to Central Asia, then south into the Levant region.

         MY RESULTS !!
Northern European  41%
Mediterranean         39%
Southwest Asian      18%

         MY HOMINID ANCESTRY
         When our ancestors first migrated out of 
Africa around 60,000 years ago, they were not 
alone. At that time, at least two other species 
of hominid cousins walked the Eurasian landmass: 
Neanderthals and Denisovans. Most non-Africans 
are about 2% Neanderthal. Indigenous sub-Saharan 
Africans have no Neanderthal DNA because their 
ancestors did not migrate through Eurasia.
Neanderthals           1.6%
Denisovans              0.1%
