Why the Dysons keep faith in their genes: “Anyone yearning to settle down and live happily ever after should look for

a Dyson. New scientific research has revealed that over the past 800 years

members of the family have proved the most faithful and fertile partners in

Britain.

Dr Brian Sykes, professor of human genetics at Oxford University, studied the

DNA of 10,000 men with a broad cross-section of British surnames as part of

a project to map genes in Britain and Ireland. He identified the families likely

to have the highest proportion of identical DNA patterns in their Y

chromosomes – that is, those thought to have one common ancestor – and

discovered that, of the names surveyed, the Dysons had a remarkable 80 per

cent of men who shared the same pattern.

The Y chromosome is passed unchanged from father to son, so if a wife

becomes pregnant as the result of an adulterous fling she will bear a child

with the family name but not the family Y chromosome.” Telegraph UK
