    We pay for our cell service, they use that to know where you are, might be able to hear everything you say, then many are signing up and paying for DNA testing to see where they came from. The watchers must be laughing really hard on how easy it is, folks are just lining up. My only fear is the chance for them to misuse the technology. Naw, they wont do that.

    I have received my ancestryDNA result. it shows Turkey/Caucasus-Armenian 58 %, Iran-Persian 37%, Middle East 5%. it's ok. I like Persians. We have shared history with them since Achaemenid period. I am surprised to see that I have many 2nd cousins here in USA. My grandpa told me that his brother and some siblings were invited to work at Ford's factories between 1904-1910. Overall its worth to have this test done.

    Any Neanderthal % ?

    Ps i ask the question regards too science not to imply anything bad.
    Normally there should be a small %.

    i was waiting to see small % of everything. It was not on report I received. I guess they don't do very deep analysis. I am sure some other labs who do deep analysis may find it.

    I don't think Ancestry offers the Neanderthal tests, 23 and me does. We got plenty walking around here.

    if somebody wants to do DNA testing I will suggest 23andMe. 23andMe has more people tested in theirs database. Chance is higher to see 2nd and 3rd cousins. Also It will show your haplogroup, Neanderthal %. 23andme has some useful tool for comparing chromosomes with your matches.

    241 variants, less than 4% of overall DNA. :)
    My paternal haplogroup is R-L23 . I have European haplogroup.
