Daughters of Eve?  |
| |
|  A friend of mine has paid for a Daughters of Eve genetic DNA test, which you can now do via the post and she is enthusiastically thinks the results are true and that we should all do one!
The Daughters of Eve is a genetic theory developed by Brian Sykes to do with maternal ancestry. There are, according to Sykes, 7 maternal clans which most Europeans can trace their genetic ancestry to.
I haven't the money to spare on such luxuries at the moment, but I wondered what you thought about the Daughters of Eve theory. Do you believe it? Would you ever pay 150 GB pounds (about 300 US dollars) to get such a DNA test done?

| |  It would be interesting if it told you more about where you are from. But I don't think that I would spend $300 on it. It seems like a waste of money for that much. I guess it depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Right now I'm trying to research who my great-great-grandparents were, but I don't think that test would give you enough information to really know where you came from.

| | Yes, I agree that family history research is really interesting. Especially when you find out what your ancestors did, where they lived, their names and family structures etc. | | | |

| |  I have never heard of this sort of test, but it sounds intriguing. I suppose if one believes that all of us are decendents of Eve, we would believe this theory--if makes sense to me. I don't have $300 to spend on such a test, and if you did get the test, what would you do with the results? What is the purpose?

| | I don't know much about the theory but Brian Sykes has written a book, and there is more informaton on the net about his theory. For example, on wikipedia.
The test my friend did showed her which maternal clan she belonged to, and supplied her with a DNA map of this. I didn't really understand the map to be honest. | | | |

| | read his book Seven Daughter's of Eve
its a very great book for many reasons
we all have a common ancestor (a black one) in Africa 50,000 years ago, 2000 generations or so
he then tells how humans branched out, from there, its traced by mitichondrial DNA, which travels with the egg.
facinating learning and a good story too
YES, I would want the test, its more like $100 now I think
WARNING though, maybe someday employers will find predispossition to disease and will not hire or not insure peole who show those
they would and could find out too, if it was gonna save em 10K or so | | | | | | |

| | Thanks for the info. I haven't read the book, so perhaps that's the next step for me.
My friend paid 150 poinds (300 US dollars) for her test from a lab in the UK. But we are always being ripped off for things in the UK! | | | |

| |  wold love, love, love to do something lik that. How much information does it give you? How long does it take to get the results? I think that would be so fascinating! I am a mix of so many differnt lines, I would love to see what the results showed.

| |  LOL - no I wouldn't fork out £150 for that. You said it yourself - it's a THEORY! An interesting one admittedly but still just a theory. No concrete evidence of it (although in some ways it makes sense)so really they could supply any old nonsense as the results of the DNA test and who could argue with it?

| | I think if it was cheaper - say £20 lol - I'd probably give it a go just out of idle curiosity, even if it is just a theory. | | | |

| | Yes I'd probably gamble £20 or so on it just to see what it came up with but that would be about my limit! | | | |
