They should redo a mini series on all these cases with updates using new technology.<br>Or they can start a new global series, where they go around the world in search of cold cases

I'm a bit baffled by the scientist researching the y-chromosomes... surely the passing down of y-chromosomes doesn't necessarily align with the line of surnames. All it takes is one single illegitimate child to overthrow the correlation of all previous generations entirely. But he does state the given link between surname and y-chromosome twice.<br><br>I'm assuming he probably brought that nuance to the conversation, but it was cut by editors?

An additional possibility ( confirmed by many other records ) is that sailors on these long journeys abroad sometimes died on the way, got into fights & were killed in arguments or, died in skirmishes on land. Captains needed to have a full compliment of crew, and were quite well known to use any methods to obtain sturdy individuals willing to join the crew. These new crew members would of course be recruited at the ports they visited & could be Portuguese Spanish or indeed any race colour or creed capable & willing. Being residents of the ports they would most probably be individuals already having sea & sailing experience, & therefore already suited for the job. It was of necessity incumbent on Captains because trying to manage a vessel in storms while lacking sufficient crew, invariably endangered all.

I always wonder what these individuals names were. They were more than just bones to someone. Dad, brother etc etc

@<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOUgpU8R2cc&t=1260">21:00</a> John Black, "Henry's favourite trumpeter" wrote* a letter asking for a payrise. He said he was being paid less than the previous musician in his position and asked for the raise, plus back pay....and got it!<br>He is also on record as receiving a wedding present from Henry VIII.<br>So it's evident he was treated no differently than the other trumpeters.<br>It's ironic since that was a time we view as hugely intolerant; it definitely was in matters of class, gender, and religion but racially there was no divide.<br><br>*Using a scribe, as most people did back then.
