DNA studies and 'race'
Re Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_studies_on_Sinhalese
My Dear Daya,
The article you forwarded was interesting. The Human Genotype Project started by The National Geographic will give us some truly scientific insights into the Islands inhabitants. A member of a 'pure' Sinhalese family with aristocratic feudal lineage, resident in Avissawella, had his genes analysed and matched. He had a close match in South America and thus came to know of his strong Portuguese lineage. It is high time that we think of humanity as one and all of us as descendants of the original 'African Eve'. In our long migrations over planet earth, all of us have lost some genes and mutated others. I would like you to go to this site and get your buccal mucosa analysed for maternal and paternal genetic identification. A kit is under US Dollars Hundred for each.

If all of us who can afford it do this there will be a large database to work on. Please cut and paste the address on your web browser to see the details. Go through the other sections on Human Migrations etc. and you will see how peurile it is to talk of Sinhalese or Tamil or for that matter blacks, yellows and whites. The so called 'Aryan migration' to India from the Central Asian Steppes does not stand up to DNA analysis. So where does the 'Aryan migration' of Paranavitharana and Mendis lead us. It was a mirage which divided us and brought so much misery to this land.

Dear Derrwick,
Yes -We like it or not, we are really one - history makes it so. So obvious. The politicians want us to believe otherwise, to divide us. That one group is superior to the other.
You might find the link from Philip interesting.

Hello Jeyendran, Philip et Al
I'd like to know of any batchmate who has a bigger genetic mix ( or mix up ) than me. I have Scottish, Irish, Dutch, Portugese, Hungarian and Chinese in me. The Chinaman had a Japanese name and therefore could have been a Japanese living in Hong Kong. I am pleased to say my children have at least two more countries in them and my grandchildren at least a further two.

Rat snake
I met a driver working on a power project being constructed by the Chinese in Sri Lanka, close to Colombo. He said that a large Rat-snake ('Garandiya - S, Chaarai - T) appeared, apparently looking for rats inside a container. The Chinese got very excited and cornered it and killed it. They subsequently cooked it and ate it with much relish. I wonder how long it will take for the locals to follow suit. In no time the Rat-snake will be an endangered species in Sri Lanka.
