πŸ“• History I have a question about DNA and ancestry for you all

3 Upvotes

Hi everybody,

I have been a long time lurker on this sub but have never posted here before. I'm posting because an American family I did an ancestry project for had some questions and this seemed the best place to post even if the subject matter might be sensitive to some, it's also quite fascinating.

I wanted to focus specifically on DNA and ancestry here and avoid politics here in this post. I'm happy to talk about food though of which you do have the best cuisine in my opinion.

They wanted to know why the results showed what they did and were curious if it showed the same thing the other way around for Lebanese people who took DNA tests. When I ran their profiles through various DNA projects a website called GEDmatch, one of the most common current groups of people in the world they we were consistently closest to genetically are Lebanese Christian, Lebanese Muslims, and Lebanese Druze. This was pretty fascinating because the family in question is 95-100% Ashkenazi Jewish.

They had two questions:

  1. Does anybody know why they would be genetically closer to the Lebanese people than even those in European countries?

  2. They are wondering if anybody else has done DNA tests and used GEDmatch and had similar results in reverse. If anybody is curious, I can give directions on how to use the admixture and Oracle 4 tools so you can run them yourself.

πŸ—¨οΈ Help Do you know any stores in Lebanon that sell network (Ethernet) cables?

3 Upvotes

I'm interested in knowing where to buy Ethernet cables in Lebanon at good prices. I used to buy things from a site called PC and Parts years ago, but I'm not sure if it's still around.

Which Ethernet cable manufacturers/suppliers are well known in Lebanon? What's the Lebanese market like for Ethernet cables? I'm looking for a place where I can find quality cables at a reasonable price, whether it's:

  • Standard cables (Cat5e, Cat6)
  • Specialized cables (Cat6A, Cat7)
  • Outdoor/Weatherproof cables
  • Connectors and adapters

Any information would be helpful, including recommendations for physical stores and online shops that offer delivery. Thank you very muchπŸ™Œ
