The key to doing this sort of genetic genealogy lies in the way the sex
chromosome is inherited. The X chromosome involves some shuffling within the past one or two generations. But the Y chromosome is never
shuffled - it is always passed from the father to the son intact. So the DNA code on the son's Y
chromosome should be identical to the father's, and every male should have the
identical Y chromosome to Adam. In that case we could do DNA testing and determine that we are all descendants of
Adam. Although this might help us
weed out the extra-terrestrial aliens among us, it would be of little help in
constructing our family trees.

Everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask
Stephen P. Morse]
Here is the latest in my attempts to provide evidence that I may be "non-human".
As you will be shown here, the Y-Chromosome indicates that I am not decended fro
any Human source. Though it is still rather "human-like", it needs to be
remembered that this panel of "markers" relates to no human source.
This is a panel of some 16 Y-STR markers
Upon conducting a search of a Y-Chromosome database this single result stands
out
Simular results were found when attempting to match to Haplogroups. Again, there
were no matches in any branch of Human genetics.
