 I know I'm a descendant of Japheth and and Shem. Yet, when I look at my DNA test of my mom side, I have 14% Druze (Syrian, Lebanon, and Israel) , 8% Palestine, 8% Morocco, 6% Saudi Arabia , 5% Yemen, 2% Egypt. and 1% North of Sudan. According to the Vol. 1 of the Insight Book map on the Organ of  Nations p. 329,  this put me in the line of the descendant of Ham. Next, I will take a Autosomal DNA test. This test will trace your mom and dad side and their parents and further up to around 500 years The mutt I am.

I did my Ancestor DNA years ago.  They originally had me as primarily Scandinavian, but later research caused a change in the estimates.  It now shows:

 

England & Northwestern Europe37%

Scotland22%

Wales15%

Ireland14%

Norway6%

Germanic Europe4%

Sweden & Denmark2%

 

My wife's DNA shows:

England & Northwestern Europe27%

Scotland27%

Sweden & Denmark20%

Wales14%

Norway7%

Ireland4%

Eastern Europe & Russia1%

Also consider the interesting phenomenon called pedigree collapse

 

1. every generation backward you go in your genealogy, the number of ancestors doubles (2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 grandparents, 16, 32, etc)

 

2. if you go just 30 generations back, around the years 1000-1300, you’d have supposedly 1 billion ancestors — but there were only a few hundred million humans on earth at that time!

 

there are some interesting papers linked in the footnote of the Wikipedia article worth reading

I have been known to jokingly tell people that was proof of alien visitation.  Of course, they always knew I was joking.

Imagine doing your ancestry and getting a call back from the company telling you that, unbeknownst to you, you’ve been intersex all along:

If that were me, I’d be worried that Jehovah would change me into a woman in the new system after I’ve lived all my life as a man.

The Hebrew word cushi or kushi is an affectionate term generally used in the Bible to refer to a dark-skinned person of African descent.

@*Jack* if you’re wise you’ll go order a 23andMe kit right away in case you are intersex. Don’t let it go too long. 

That was so funny I forgot to laugh 😆

These things happen!!! It seems like we haven't seen everything yet...

Yeah, me and my sister were just talking  about this the other day. She was saying “I wonder what Jehovah is going to do with intersex people and people who were supposed to be another gender.” She explained to me that there’s some people who were supposed to be another gender but were born a different one. I already knew about this phenomenon. 
 

This is why I don’t agree with people that say transgender people are suffering from a mental disease. I think there is merit to their claims of always feeling like they were supposed to be another gender. As my sister said “something went wrong in the womb.” I do however agree with Jehovah’s thinking on cross dressing and undergoing surgery and taking hormones to try to become another gender - Deuteronomy 22:5.
