The title of this post is very misleading. The actual article is here:

And the thrust of the article is that the study shows MULTIPLE mtDNS matches from African Americans to African ethnic groups. Where the poster says “no single” that doesn’t mean no matches...it means multiple matches.
Also, this article is 2 years old. Why bump a non-controversial article about mtDNA now?

Why pick controversial and unvetted Sarah Palin as a running mate? :’) The article never got posted at the time. Thanks for that link:
[snip] However, the only major change was that there were a number of matches of African-American sequences to sequences in the mislabelled data set. Thus, the number of African-American matches to single ethnic groups dropped from a total of 16 to 9 (Table 3) representing just 5% of the African American sequences that we compared to the database.
