Welcome to Litsy!

The #littlestthings can can have a big impact. And are very interesting. #maymoviemagic

Repost for @mrsmarch :
Inspired a bit by #backpackeurope, I was wondering if Littens who‘ve done commercial DNA testing would be interested in doing a #readyourgenes group. My map would look like the above. I could help with making “itineraries” and set up a Google signup sheet. If there‘s enough interest, I‘ll launch something!

Six generations. Seven Daughters of Eve. #MamasOfLitsy 🌹🌿

Finished my first book for #4in48readathon! Having trouble focusing since my wife got in a car accident. She's fine, but ugh, I want her to be home now!

Anyway, Bryan Sykes writes well and explains the science admirably. Only quibble is the pure fiction about what he thinks the lives of the seven clan mothers were mostly like. People will read it as truthful reconstruction rather than an utter guess.

Welp, it's the weekend here now! It's 2am and I've made some quite good progress with this for @Syndelle777 's #4in48readathon, and petted bunnies AND... uh, messed around online looking at memes...

Finding this very readable and well explained, albeit slightly out of date. Sykes tells the story of the research well, and actually manages to be funny at times as well.

Sleep now though!

I love this book on the science behind the ancient secret we all harbor: the "name" of our maternal ancestor. Mito DNA is only inheritable from our mother, so it passes from mother, to daughter, & so on, & so forth, back to a single common female ancestor. It mutates roughly once every 10k yrs, so it is a slow clock. These are my inheritrices, River & Cleopatra, ultimately daughters of Ulrike, daughter of Ursula, daughter of Eve. #5monthsold

#Day2 #SeptemberPhotoChallenge #numberintitle I have plenty of cookbooks with numbers in their titles but a quick perusal of my other shelves & stacks only turned up two other book titles with numbers--science & genetics and a funny P.I./Grim Reaper... At least they coordinate well with their orange covers! 👍😀 #somethingforsept
