"Well known fact" it might be, but it's wrong, - see last week's New Scientist - http://www.newscientist.com/channel/bei ... -code.html .Chris Paton wrote:I believe it is a well known fact as well that if you are of a white skin colour, you are believed to be of European origin, but if you have a very very very super duper white whiter-than-white skin, it can be attributed to the fact that you come from County Antrim. As someone who gets snowblindness just from looking at the underside of my arms, and who is therefore forced to wear long sleeved shirts even to bed, I can personally testify to the accuracy of this theory, and was wondering whether a colour or tonal chart chart would therefore be another useful tool for your exciting new research service?

PS You must also have Scandinavians in your ancestry, as they are even more sensitive.
