Has knowing your haplogroups changed how you view the construction of race?
Not at all- i was always doubtful of the validity of 'race'
Not at all- race is still as valid as is was before (very valid and important)
Somewhat- it debunks many myths but race still exists
Somewhat- it has made me realise that while race exists we all came from the same origins
Very much so- i have realised that 'race' is a human idea which is outdated and was never valid
Very much so- i have realised how important race is
Has knowing your haplogroup changed your world view?
No- i still think of the human population as one family
No- i still think of the human population as a fragmented group with little in common
Yes- i now realise that people are all connected and we should care for each other
Yes- i now realise just how diverse people are and think there is no hope of uniting us
