Description
How to easily carry DNA tests to determine the reader's haplogroup that divulges the ancestral migration route starting some 60,000 years ago. These DNA tests are specifically geared towards deep ancestry and do not in any way touch on health-related genetic pre-dispositions.
How deep ancestry DNA results can be helpful in identifying common ancestors going back seven or eight centuries or more.
A glossary for the layperson that covers easy to understand terms used in genetic genealogy
A discussion on the peopling of Goa, India.
Historical aspects related to the village of Aldona, Goa as an example of what probably occurred in many other villages of Goa:
- Origin of the name of Aldona village
- The pre-conversion Hindu names of the 12 founding clans (vangods) of Aldona
- DNA-based scientific proof of historical assumptions related to the origins of the gaunkari system of Goa's villages
- The circumstances of the conversion to Christianity and how it was accepted or otherwise by the villagers
- The temples and deities of the village and the origins of the church
-The condition of women
- The history of the comunidades of Aldona
An analysis of the caste system and whether there is a basis for its existence from the viewpoint of genetic genealogy.
Over a hundred references to assist the reader in the investigation of his or her own deep ancestry, roots and migratory paths.
