May be you are Jew

I read a really fantastic article last night on Genealogy. It is in the Atlantic Monthly. A Yale scientist has developed a new mathematical model that calculates your genealogy. In short, everyone is related to everyone else going back only about 48 generations (i.e., roughly 1000 years) and we are all related to and descended from Nefertiti and Confucius, and everyone of European ancestry is descended from Prophet Mohammed and Charlemagne. One interesting fact mentioned in the essay is that the island of Ireland has never had more than 10 million people, but over 70 million people in the world claim to be of Irish descent. The model is a mathematical exponential (not linear, not two or even 3 dimensional, but 100s of dimensions).

I can’t wait to take a ride to New Haven to find out about my ancestors. May be I have a little bit of Irish in me (I knew the drinking has had to have some kind of explanation, and now I feel so happy about it).

That'll be the wee Scotsman in you, laddie.

The Irish are only good for being The Irishman.

Anyway, I always knew there was a viable explanation for my distinctive nose.

May be i was a jew before but what now i am a muslim. hee hee

LOL

a claim for every mouth there is. I rather stick with empiricism.

It reminds of how one of my cousin said that Afridis and Khattaks are actually desecnded from Hazrat Omr Ibn Al'A'as (Conqueror of egypt).


Thus, spake the Sword...

I agree. As a matter of fact, I think you have a lot of Irish in you. I definitely think drinking has a lot do with it or you'd remember.

NYA: Thanks for sharing. Your writings are always intriguing. I actually read them…a fact that even amazes me.

I always felt due to your ideas that you might be a Canadian.

Maybe you are a jew?

nyahmadi:

as this is a fact that sun rises from east
same is that no i am not a jew! and never
will i be. 2ndly be respectful when it comes
to religion and make the habbit of saying
(S.A.W) with the name Muhammad every time.
be urself rather than wanting to be an irish.

You can never be descended from only one parent! we have 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents, etc etc. but we tend to keep track of only one line of descent. So of course we are all related.

May be I am a Jew … may be an Orthodox … or may be a sikh .. or may be an african Cannibal. But I am a human in the end … (I guess)
