For a couple of years now I have been contemplating taking a genetic
deep ancestry test[1] just for the heck of it. There are many in my
family who take pride in their supposed "aryan" descent from "europe"
(i.e. Central Asia as we have already discussed in this thread) and
how our Brahmin blood is uncontaminated. Just out of curiosity, I
would like to see to what extent my ancestors were busy diluting their
"Aryan" purity.

I am still looking for a good non-US-or-european focusses test. Eugen,
any ideas on this, *chortle*, Eugen-ic topic? ;-)

Thaths
