Stealing helpers

Among the worst things I know is people who steal from helporganizaitions.
Some years ago a man who had acess to autistic children's summercamp money stole 800000 SEK of that money with the result that autistic children in Norrbotten lost their Summercamp.
Another man from Haparanda was a so called Good man to mentally disabled persons and had acess to their money, he stole 800000 to. I see him sometimes and have thought many times that I shall ask him who has payed for his car. The worst example is Johan af Donner, he has been chairman both for The Cancer Foundaition and The Swedish Red Cross, he has stolen over five million SEK to pay for his luxury life, he had a very good salary too. People collect money, knit socks, give clothes and furniture to help poor and sick people, and assholes like af Donner take the money. The last example is from Luleå this week, a leading person in the Red Cross there has been fired because he has stolen money. People don't want to give to these organizaitions anymore. I don't understand how a man can go out and look into people's eyes if he has stolen from people who has a very hard life.

The seven daughters of Eve

It was a while since I wrote something on this blog. It is Winter now, cold and windy and I have been reading a very interesting book by Bryan Sykes, professor in genetics. He and his crew has DNA tested people all over the World in order to investigate where their ancestors came from and how all people on Earth are related. The book, The seven daughters of Eve claims that all people in Europe remains from only seven women, the oldest lived 45000 years ago.
He can say this because he has tested the mithocondrial DNA (mtDNA). It is a DNA that copies itself and goes from mother to daughter through the generations. He has found a relative to the iceman Ötzi who died 5300 years ago in South England, and a relative to the 12000 old Cheddar man from South England. It was Lord Bath's butler Cuthbert. One of these women lived in Spain, and her Clan went very far North when the Ice age ended, they have found her relatives among the Sami people in Scandinavia. One % of the Aboriginal people in USA remains from a woman who was born in Europe. I think this is very interesting, I would like to DNA test myself.
The oldest People in Europe is the Basques in North East Spain and South West France, their skeletons look exactly like 20000 old Cromagnon skeletons. The first modern people in Europe were hunters, they had bloodtype A Rh-, it is a very common bloodtype among the Basques, later another group came from Anatolia, Turkey, they were the first farmers, they had bloodtype A Rh +. I have A Rh- myself, so I consider myself to a relative to the first modern Europeans. They haven't found any relatives to the Neanderthals.
