And, these can be used to do so because they are nonrecombinant, passing down virtually unchanged over thousands of years. 3) Alleles, DYS numbers, haplogroups, markers, MRCA -most recent common ancestor, STR, SNP, etc.Some other explanations in the book I think worth mentioning here are:1. Regarding the Human genome - it is a tightly wound string of DNA so long, comprising of 3,147M base pairs - it would stretch to the Sun and back.2. Most mutations have no effect except occasionally.3. Surname studies exist and the book shows where to locate them. Plus, the book describes different DNA tests which exist.4. There is a worthwhile discussion about "errors" - that looking at a sample of something, one can rationally come up with probabilities of how long the sample is removed from the original. The same reasoning could be used evaluating copies of a manuscript and of course, DNA mutations. Plus, there is a discussion about stepwise and infinite allele models for handling DNA mutations.5. Kleinfelter's syndrome is discussed - the rare existence of extra X chromosomes for some people.6. Gender-related intelligence differences are on the X chromosome - explaining why girls are generally more intelligent, but there are more boys who are retarded and more super intelligent. Hence, although the average girl IQ is equal to the average boy, the distibution is not the same. Mutations, and girls having an extra X chromosome explain the differences, which compensate for mutations. Plus, no human trait has evolved more than intelligence.7. In rare cases, mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the father.The only real negative about the book, is that it is several years old, and more is new, like new testing services, like 23andMe.Anyway, the book is a good one, for introducing a reader to the study of ancestry using DNA. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a good 1st step in understanding DNA *by A***0 on Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2023* It's a good 1st step in understanding DNA ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ DNA & Genealogy *by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2006* DNA & Genealogy is delightful to read! It is very well written, well organized, logical and very informative. It provides basic information necessary for understanding DNA, the history of DNA progress, a description of the practical applications, such as inherited diseases and criminal identification. The book's main emphasis, however, is on Y and Mitochondrial DNA Testing for Genealogical Surname Data Base comparisons and analysis. And, on this topic it does a really superb job of providing detailed, comprehensive data, with tables and analysis regarding haplotyes and surname test matching results, mis-matches, etc., along with information on associated web-sites and test labs. All of this is coupled with very interesting and often humorous anecdotal stories that make the complicated science of DNA & haplotypes "real" and therefore understandable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the book, particularly for those interested in Y and Mitochondrial DNA Testing for Surname Database analysis. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/11877133-dna-and-genealogy](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/11877133-dna-and-genealogy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
