DNA dynasty

Found some amazing information about Genghis Khan and his clan that indicates the great conqueror was as adept at creating new human life as he was in snuffing it out (it iis said he helped halve China’s 13th-century population to 60 million people).
[Q]uite a few of us [are carrying] the conqueror’s DNA around. A genetic study done by Oxford geneticist Brian Sykes shows that 16 million people worldwide, eight percent of Asian men, are descended from the prolific Khan, who it turns out did more than put whole cities to the sword. The Khan had four legitimate sons, but it seems he had many, many more progeny than history records. And his four sons were known to be prolific as well.
Poor Mari….she’s my favorite. If I ever become a j-pop singer and part of the...
Shes definitely at the top of my hot list.

This is really eerily intriguing, descendants of Genghis Khan but I believe that as far as Genetics/Genomics are concern, the Talent & Traits & Disease Susceptiibility Gene Tests are truly useful in our society in terms of preventive healthcare & talent development. Microarray systems are so accurate in determining the characteristics of an individual’s genetic makeup. This will totally change the face of medical & educational institutions. Episodic Treatments will evolve to an approach of Personalized Disease Prevention based on Pre-symptomatic Treatments, Therapeutics and Lifestyle Changes. Reactive Treatments to Management of Diseases with Information & Prognostic Technologies. Talents will blossom earlier than expected. I took the tests myself as well as my kids, I feel more focused in everything from choice of foods to enrichment programs for my myself & my children & they really excel in their relative fields. Let the world know. it’ll be cost effective.
