German-French-Roman Hybrid Master Race of Central Europe

I miss infographic threads. Thanks for this, user.

Well, Ben Franklin is wrong then. He was from the 1700s, you know.

I think there is likely context to this that is missing. Race was viewed as both the obvious pigment, intellect, and physiological differences and the values that are upheld. If someone can be "Anglified", it follows that they are similar enough to Anglos that they need only adopt values and language. Note he says "purely white".

Conversely, yellows, blacks, etc. could never be "Anglified" in a similar way. Color looks like as much of a moral judgement as it is objective observation of race.

I feel like that’s not at all realistic for the average person, even a chemist.
Like a Y haplogroup (think something like R1b or I2 for Europeans) is a bunch of SNPs and short tandem repeat sequences. Interpretation is tedious and the amount of research you’d need to do into the specific loci is intensive. And that’s not even getting into primer design for sequencing. And in saying this as somebody who does recombinant DNA technology for a living. I think a lot of the big companies use a technique similar to microarrays at this point

23andMe is mostly health related. You are looking for genealogy.
There are some companies out there. A lot of these companies are literally run by (((tribe members))). I’d highly recommend staying clear of a couple, one of which is Family Tree DNA. They’re services are really good but they have a memorandum of understanding with the FBI, which is sketchy as fuck.
Im by no means an expert on this stuff, like I said I do similar stuff for a living but actually doing it for yourself is intense. I’m partial toward the company YSEQ since they don’t seem that sketchy. They are focused on Y-chromosome which is really important to do. Tracks patrilineal ancestors, which is a small part of your heritage but remains very constant for tons of generations. Good place to start: yseq.net/product_info.php?cPath=27&products_id=56898&osCsid=c921d42f277c4ca03697acb1edae4fc2

Otherwise I think from some cursory research AncestoryDNA seems ok. They seem to at least have half decent privacy policy and claim they will deidentify or delete your results upon request. They only do autosomal DNA which is highly variable and can only be traced back a handful of generations, but on the plus side will give you a more global view of your heritage.
Hopefully that helps. As stated this isn’t from experience because like you I’m worried about submitting samples, but curiousity may get the better of me one day

Just a question for my anthropology anons out there. Does anybody know what the differences between Celtic and Germanic really are? I feel like I can kinda sense some but to me they almost seem like groups of tribes that are more or less the same just distributed over slightly different areas and over different times.
For instance would it be a true statement that Celtic cultures, or at least their influence were slightly older than the Germanics? And then following the Migration period germanics conquered a lot of Celtic land, and supplanted their culture?
Also in relation to Celtic gods, there seem to be more similarities between them and Romuva gods (in Lithuania, which are VERY old) than there are to Germanic gods, indicating the Celtic culture predates Germanic by a bit.

Overall too just in general I get the sense that the Germanic tribes were more martial and stratefied, whereas Celtic was more nature oriented and tribal/animistic/shamanistic. Seems to be indicated a bit in Tacitus. Is there truth to this? Or faulty perception?

I would read Germania by Tacitus, also look into the writings of Plutarch and various Roman historians. Gallic Wars by Julius Caesar too. They all talk about Germanic and Celtic tribes. The so called Germanic and Celtic nations of today are a fusion of Germanic and Celtic blood. Obviously places like Ireland would have more Celtic than Germanic blood but they have both. As for Cekts being more nature oriented, i can’t say but bot had sacred groves.

Trees were sacred to Germans and Cekts, they also had wild horses in Germanic areas that were set apart in honor of the gods, as a symbol of freedom, interestingly wild horses are under tgreat in America at the very same time our freedoms have been challenged.

wild horses are under threat in America

Was to hear about the horses. It’s weird but I was never heavily around horses growing up but have ridden them numerous times and always felt it was very easy to connect with them, perhaps it is something in our blood.
As for those sources. Read Tacitus will have to look into those other sources though.
As for perceptions was just always under the impression there was something more ancient about the celts. Perhaps more WHG or EEF cultural influence with them, whereas germanics seemed to have held onto Yamyana/PIE influence more, but just a perception. Appreciate your inputs. Our history fascinated me to no end

These are free online audio books of The Gallic Wars by Julius Caesar and Germania by Tacitus. Both witnessed the Celts and Germans firsthand.

Not to be a dick, but you thought it was easy to connect with them, because they're bred for riding. I'm not aware of any genuinely wild horses on the planet, they'd have to cloned.

Feral horses then
