This isn't my homework. I just wanted to know how many people knew what a loci was.

locus (plural loci) is the path traced out by a moving point.  or you can say it is actually a collection of points or positions so many, that they apparently form a line and we treat them as lines or paths.

Try the Human Genome Project\nThere is some other project where you send them a splot of your blood and they tell you your entire family history and migration patterns and everything.\nIt's called genetic anthropology.\n\nSome scientists now believe that everyone can be traced back to 4 major groups of people or something like that.\n\nHere's the only link I found but there are better ones out there.

I found this faq to be informative.  The second link is a response to the faq that gave a more technical description.  It was, of course, a google search.

Ever used Google? It may take you less time to find some of your answers here!\nHere's an example. Took me about 10 seconds:\n5,689,283 \nAccording to http://www.50states.com/tennesse.htm

780\n\n***To all the people below me who answered something other than 780.  GO BACK TO SCHOOL!

This is a great source... and if it's not in their database, they'll research it.\n\nGood luck

My cousin did our genealogy and discovered our family descended from English royalty. I don't know his name, I was young and was kind of ho-hum about it at the time but other family members were real excited about it. Sorry, no link.

yeah called a DNA test

That's a really poor way of saying that apes and humans both have DNA which is 97% identical in the sequencing of certain alleles... It does indicate that we share a common ancestory, but the 3% difference is HUGE.

No. We don't even have that information for the human species as whole, much less for any individual.\n\nIf you have a few thousand dollars to spend you could get your genome sequenced completely. That stil wouldn't tell you what traits you have and wouldn't even tell you very much about what genes you have. But thatis the absolute best you can hope for.

When I taught it was a tongue-in-cheek method of assessing a new pupil. There was no need to read through any files that came with them.\nAll that was necessary was to wait a week or two and see who their friends were. The 'method' was unerringly accurate.

just for personal inquiry, where'd you get that statistic?\n(oh and i totally agree, that is kinda sad)

How about the guys and girl that discovered the structure of DNA?? James Watson, Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, and Wilklins. Def all born after 1800 and made a HUUUGGGE impact in life, genome, and life. OR the guy who disocvered penecillin...there are a lot.

i read about that - i don't think it was a disease - i think it was just their genetic profile.

Not sure if this will help but try the link below\n\nhttp://www.answers.com/topic/gene

I would guess at least 5 billion. How could you get a number anyways. I know there is census, but there are just way to many people to count like that, especially in places that are remote. Now I am curious lol.

gene I think is what you are looking for. Not sure the question makes sence.
