Interesting historical study on MS related genetics

I found this interesting. Then again, I am a little nerdy

It is interesting! Now I'm wondering if my ancestors were big, aggressive and traveling with livestock...the affinity for animals is definitely one of our familial traits.

Yes, very interesting! I came from ancestors that were farmers. From Russia and Scotland, although most were on the small side. Don't know about being aggressive.

Thanks for the laugh Jules!

Same Seasha. Some ancestors from both Scotland and Ireland. The Scots were forced out to Ireland, both were farming families. They later left Ireland during the potato famine. And at 5'6", I am short for my family! Lot of tall folks with a broad shoulder gene handed down!

Y... From Russia and Scotland, although most were on the small side. Don't know about being aggressive.

Actually, and I had forgotten, that my very tall and large Scottish grandfather who was born there and immigrated here used to physically abuse my grandma from stories I heard. He died before I was born. Everyone else was small and gentle natured.
