This is a much stronger statement of identity.<BR/><BR/>When you do so with Russians and Jews in America you notice an elongated, diagonal cross in the scattergram, where the major axis is what you expect from a high identity between them but the minor axis tells you of a very different, inverse, identity that appears closer to what you would expect from Scandinavian identity. I suspect this represents descendants of some pioneer Russian immigrants who still list "Russian" as their primary nation of origin.Jim Boweryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12686155123469135528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-1147126105906747582006-05-08T15:08:00.000-07:002006-05-08T15:08:00.000-07:00How many of those Jews are Atheist Jews I wonder? ...How many of those Jews are Atheist Jews I wonder?
