Is the state of the art for genetics such that they can take genes from local tribes and see if there is any european coding there?
Seems to me I’ve read something like that in discussons of solutrians/clovis points for canadian indians.
the real trouble is finding pure bred local indians.
if not pure then they have to be able to distinguish between genes that that were introduced in the last 300 years and the genes that were introduced 800 years ago. I don’t know if the state of the art can do that.
They will use 800 year old skeletons.
"Specifically, there are persistent claims that the presence of mitochondrial haplogroup X2a in Native American populations is evidence for ancient trans-Atlantic gene flow from Europe or the Middle East into North America (Meldrum 2009 Meldrum, R. L. 2009. Rediscovering the Book of Mormon Remnant through DNA. Honeoye Falls, NY: Digital Legend Press. [Google Scholar] ; Oppenheimer et al. 2014 Oppenheimer, S., B. Bradley, and D. Stanford. 2014. “Solutrean hypothesis: Genetics, the mammoth in the room.” World Archaeology 46: 752–774. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar] ; Smoot et al. 2010 Smoot, S., R. Stout, and B. McLerran. 2010. The Lost Civilizations of North America. DVD. Directed by R. Stout. Bountiful, UT: Digital Legends. [Google Scholar] ; Stanford and Bradley 2012 Stanford, D. J., and B. Bradley. 2012. Across Atlantic Ice: The Origin of America's Clovis Culture. Berkeley: University of California Press. [Google Scholar] ). If true, this genetic evidence would lend considerable support to the Solutrean hypothesis, which suggests that the North American Clovis culture (13,300–12,800 cal yr BP) is directly descended from the Solutrean culture of southwestern Europe (23,500–18,000 cal yr BP)."
There was some talk earlier about difficulty in identifying pure Indian genes. Fella was saying that there is some confusion with European genes.

Somewhere in my basement I've got a postcard I bought near that village.
Reminds me of an old story, though I can't remember if it was about a Czech or a Hungarian ...... The (Czech|Hungarian) immigrant is getting a medical exam at Ellis Island, and the doctor points to a line way down on an eye chart, asking him, "can you read this?" The immigrant answers, " *READ* it?? Why, I *KNOW* the man!"

BOL that is what my Chromebook 15 is set at.
This past month of so, I have had problems posting from the large screen size, only on FR. I have had to go down to normal to post at times.
What blam said. Oh, and LOL about the supposed graffiti.

Sounds like something of my Welch/Scottish and Swiss ancestor combos would have written a few hundred years ago.
