Understand-ability for non-biologist

This page does a pretty bad job of explaining this to someone with little background information — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.250.136.182 (talk) 07:42, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it is difficult to understand as the topic itself is rather abstract for non-biologists. Maybe someone with good writing skills and knowledge of TEs could improve it? Ilikelifesciences (talk) 13:31, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of YAP+…?

Haplogroup DE of the human Y-chromosome has an alu insertion, unique only to that haplogroup and not known to exist in any human Y-chromosomes except those descended from HG DE. These purportedly belong to the likes of Einstein, Hitler & Napoleon. The HG group instance I believe is notable enough for a mention (not necessarily the historical carriers of it, however) Nagelfar (talk) 18:54, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
