Showing results for "DNA" in History

What happened to the ancient Egyptians? When their civilization fell, did the Egyptian people disappear? Or do their descendants exist to this day? What about the ancient Persians? Romans? Mayans? For years, the answers to these questions have been hidden. But no more. Nathaniel T. Jeanson, a Harvard graduate with a PhD in cell and developmental biology, has discovered a DNA-based, generation by generation family tree for global humanity. This tree uncovers the origin and fate of these ancient peoples—and connects them to peoples alive today.

Amerika durchlebt ein epochales Gesellschaftsbeben. Mit faschistischen Methoden versuchen die Republikaner, die Demokratie zu kapern und eine autokratische Herrschaft zu etablieren: Sie befeuern die militante Spaltung der Gesellschaft, fördern einen Führerkult, rufen zu Gewalt auf und erschaffen mittels Propaganda eine fiktive Realität. Dabei kooperieren sie mit verschiedenen radikalen Gruppierungen wie extremistischen Christen, Verschwörungstheoretikern und Milizen. Ihr nächster Putschversuch läuft bereits auf Hochtouren.

In Native American DNA, Kim TallBear shows how DNA testing is a powerful - and problematic - scientific process that is useful in determining close biological relatives. But tribal membership is a legal category that has developed in dependence on certain social understandings and historical contexts, a set of concepts that entangles genetic information in a web of family relations, reservation histories, tribal rules, and government regulations.

Our clients are searching for unknown birth family - often but not always their fathers. In each episode we talk to people about how their search, what they discovered, and how it feels to finally have answers thanks to the magic of DNA.

An American poet writes a compilation of historical vignettes, discerning the future of our democracy by rediscovering the combative, instructive, fascinating past of tyranny and democracy...Lyons traces democracy from its historical roots to the modern day, constructing a blueprint of what defines tyranny or democratic government in the DNA of democracy.

Most claims of Native American ancestry rest on the mother's ethnicity. This can be verified by a DNA test determining what type of mitochondrial DNA she passed to you. A hundred participants in DNA Consultants multi-phase Cherokee DNA Study did just that. What they had in common is they were previously rejected - by commercial firms, genealogy groups, government agencies and tribes. Their mitochondrial DNA was not classified as Native American. These are the "anomalous" Cherokee.

Now we know, before it was discovered by modern science, that Michelangelo painted human DNA’s double-spiraling helix within the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling. He revealed the Medici School’s oral tradition of the ancient Enneagram by painting the Sibyls and Prophets in a special sequence, in such a way that they are a practical guide today for understanding planetary body types.

Phase III of DNA Consultants' Cherokee DNA Studies adds more than 50 new participants to what has become a classic project. They'd all been told there was no way they could be Indian given their DNA haplotype or mother's direct line.

In this deeply personal and spiritually rich devotional, I trace my lineage to Jane Gibson the Elder—a free Indian woman whose name survived centuries of silence. Through court records, DNA revelations, and ancestral memory, I uncover my Lumbee roots and honor the lives of those who walked before me. From the healing hands of midwives on Virginia plantations to the quiet resilience of Lumbee families in Granville County, I weave history, prayer, and poetic reflection into a tapestry of remembrance.

Most histories of the Cherokee nation focus on its encounters with Europeans, its conflicts with the U.S. government, and its expulsion from its lands during the Trail of Tears. This work, however, traces the origins of the Cherokee people to the third century B.C.E. and follows their migrations through the Americas to their homeland in the lower Appalachian Mountains.

Most sports fans know Hannah Storm from her skills as a host, commentator across many sports networks and as an anchor for Sports Center on ESPN. What most fans don't know however, is her unique story and the story of her family that centers at the heart of pro basketball. Hannah grew up on basketball literally, as her father Mike Storen was a GM, owner and eventually Commissioner of the ABA League in the seventies. Her life of growing up around basketball legends and pioneers in professional sports paved the way for her historic television career. In association with the NBA and iHeartMedia, ...

I made this book from the data I collected. All around me when I was young healthy-looking people older than me with native American characteristics were losing limbs because of the "Sugar disease". I mentally noted it but only paid it attention one night after work I ate a lot of fruit... I mean a lot. That night I ran to the bathroom multiple times and experienced extreme thirst. So I drank everything in the fridge that morning before work (Orange Juice, Milk, etc).

De podcast ‘Mijn DNA Achterna’ vertelt het persoonlijke verhaal van Niels De Vos. Twee jaar geleden kwamen Niels en zijn vrouw, Séverine, voor een belangrijke keuze te staan. Ze hadden een grote kinderwens, maar er was ook een (groot) probleem. Séverine is drager van het gen dat doofheid veroorzaakt en heeft een dove broer en zus. Dat wil zeggen dat er een reële kans was dat Séverine en Niels een doof kindje zouden krijgen. De enige manier om dat te weten te komen, was nagaan of ook Niels drager was van dat ‘dove gen’. Dat kon via een DNA-test. Als daaruit zou blijken ...

A vibrant young Hispano woman, Shonnie Medina, inherits a breast-cancer mutation known as BRCA1.185delAG. It is a genetic variant characteristic of Jews. The Medinas knew they were descended from Native Americans and Spanish Catholics, but they did not know that they had Jewish ancestry as well. The mutation most likely sprang from Sephardic Jews hounded by the Spanish Inquisition. The discovery of the gene leads to a fascinating investigation of cultural history and modern genetics by Dr. Harry Ostrer and other experts on the DNA of Jewish populations.
