Coronavirus and DNA ADN: The R1b Haplogroup
Abstract
This chapter affirms that countries with enviable indicators in development, per capita income, life expectancy, cultural level, human rights, environmental care, etc. are the most affected by the pandemic. The fact that the UK, Belgium, and Spain are failing at the hands of the coronavirus and Syria, Rwanda, or Ethiopia have had hardly any (reported) infections or deaths can be justified in many ways but none of them is convincing. The author suggests that the reason could be that those three European countries have something in common: the shared frequency of the male haplogroup R1b, which in the three aforementioned cases represents over 60% of their population and is also predominant in Western Europe and (because of historical immigration) in most of America. If we put together the map of COVID-19 and the haplogroup R1b, he concludes, we can obtain the following formula: the higher the frequency of R1b, the greater incidence, proven or probable (real or potential), of COVID-19.
