@BackFromTheDud @OohOkayKay @kibcol1049 I just realised there used to be a tube connecting us all back to pre-humans, via a long line of mothers. It's very odd that men are given priority on family trees.
Show threadDud (Mx)Jan 17
@woo Some cultures trace the family line through the female, because you KNOW who the mum is (usually, there are exceptions). I went back to the end of the 18th century using parish records from mother to mother, tracing my own lineage. I got to Wolverhampton in the west Midlands. @OohOkayKay @kibcol1049

Not at all odd in a patriarchy, now almost universal and the primary cause of the sad state of the world.

There's a whole lot of interesting links. Like mitochondria descend solely along the female line. Every woman has an x chromosome from both of her grandmothers. Every man has a y chromosome descended through their paternal line.

But family trees are entirely social constructs, so simply reflect the attitudes of the society in which they are constructed.

Because most times I try to call I get a robot telling me how busy they are and asking me to leave a message. Which they mostly ignore. So I prefer to send an email they can ignore instead.
