I don't suppose any of us see ourselves in our mind's eye the way others see us. I guess if we want to test the voracity of these animations we need third opinions of the animations of living people. <br /><br />A friend said he thought Heritage animations blinked too much. I guess eyes are the easiest bit to animate. Either that or people used to blink more in the olden days! :)<br /><br />I do like them, though. Saw some good ones of Edgar Alan Poe, Karl Marx and other 19th century figures.Carruthershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02513533835951104740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877731088554997649.post-45956586241139028072021-03-28T15:47:20.928-07:002021-03-28T15:47:20.928-07:00Carruthers -- I don't think that the animation...Carruthers -- I don't think that the animation of the recent photo looks like me. It is flattering, yes, but not how I see myself (-:amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212213177713917828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877731088554997649.post-38011855312969362402021-03-27T09:11:53.072-07:002021-03-27T09:11:53.072-07:00That is a beautiful picture of you and your grandm...That is a beautiful picture of you and your grandmother.<br /><br />At times, I am tempted to do the DNA testing. I wonder whether it would make me feel in a specific way about myself or my family, whether I would find a hidden secret. But I usually forget about it. I know so much of my family on both sides dating back to the 15th century, so what. I realise that this may be so much more important to people born to immigrants to the US, especially when the immigrants arrived a long time ago. <br /><br />There is also a lot of reluctance here due to data protection and what US firms (the are all in the US) do with personal DNA data. Some of it would be actually illegal here.<br /><br />As far as I understand it, the commercial providers only examine regions of the genome in which individual people differ (SNIPS, i.e. single-nucleotide polymorphisms). <br />As R explains it to me: When we talk about genetic differences between populations, we are only talking about 0.1 percent of DNA. 99.9 percent are identical. <br />We have so much more in common than what separates us.<br /><br />Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877731088554997649.post-69341159862963463692021-03-26T22:30:40.069-07:002021-03-26T22:30:40.069-07:00That was really interesting.

If it does, it means that these old photo animations are probably pretty accurate. I keep meaning to try it myself.<br /><br />It's 5.30am here. I woke up too early - a good time to catch up on blog-reading!

Seeing his smile again was just so sweet.<br />My ethnicity is widely different among the three companies I've tested with. Our native n.american has shown up again on my brothers.

My paternal grandmother died before I was before, and I am named for her as well. Her name was Rose. I did 23 and me a few years ago. An interesting look at our genetic heritage.
