Good point but I’ve read mtDNA has other great qualities for this kind of research i.e high mutation rates, direct maternal lineage, non-recombinant etc. Great stuff, I’d like to learn more.
Information on the subject is easy to find, if perhaps not that easy to understand. If you have any questions ask me. I used to work for the lab that did mitochondrial analysis to identify the Vietnam veteran in the tomb of the unknown soldier.
