"Because our approach uses only genetic data, it provides information independent from other sources. Many of our genetic observations match historical events, and we also see evidence of previously unrecorded genetic mixing. For example, the DNA of the Tu people in modern China suggests that in around 1200 C.E., Europeans similar to modern Greeks mixed with an otherwise Chinese-like population. Plausibly, the source of this European-like DNA might be merchants travelling the nearby Silk Road."

I’m posting this, but I don’t regard these kinds of deep-reaching conclusions as valid.

They’ve put Fins in Sweden and have no Swedes, but they do have Norwegians.
I call shenanigans.

I’d like to know the genetic person #1 from which Democrats sprang forth!
Right back at ya, troll.
Huh?
Perhaps you need a context

They had the NBA back then?
I don’t understand any animosity toward my post or me.
This post was on an interesting study and I posted a comment to indicate and praise the novelty of the finding.
And I get called a troll or whatever it is you are trying, and failing, to say.

| Woo hoo!! And we're now over 58%!! Go, FReepers!! Thank you all very much!! We can do this. | ||||
So now an article explains that some scientists, of whom we don't really know the character or competence of, are saying they can independently pinpoint population mixing events from studying populations today. Well maybe they can, maybe they can't. But as common folk we would have to make extraordinary effort to study the issues and see if its plausible. Unfortunately, we can no longer accept what such studies just on faith.

interesting isn’t it that their is NO inclusion of anything that looks like the tribes from Israel. they do however include bedouins and palestinians
