------------------------------------------------------- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.casadegoa.org -------------------------------------------------------
National Geographic and IBM run the Genographic Project which aims to map our entire genetic journey thus far. For those who can afford it, 99 USD buys you a kit which you use to send your DNA to them. You receive the results of your maternal or paternal genetic journey(one choice per kit) in a few weeks. For certain tribal groups, the kit is free. This project was recently in the news because tests on Muslim's in India debunked the nonsense being spread by right wing religious types, that most Indian Muslims are born of 'foreign invaders'. https://www3.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/about.html The centre in India is the Madurai Kamaraj University, under chief investigator Mr. Ramasamy Pitchappan. A much cheaper option would be to accept the fact that your genetic blueprint was 'intelligently designed' in Goa or the Garden of Eden. Indeed, we were repeatedly informed on this forum that these 'Scientist/Geneticist' characters can teach us as much about DNA as the local Padri/Pujari.
