I don’t think human DNA analysis can determine origins yet.

DNA can be used to understand the evolution of modern humans, trace migrations of people, identify individuals, and determine the origins of domestic plants and animals.

I didn't read the whole "abstract." If that's an abstract, then I'm as big as King Kong.

Thanks.

That sheds some light on the Ainu in Japan as well but am not surprised. Paleolithic migrations have long been a best guess but if the DNA analysis proves in time, will we actually ever establish a base line?

I love Lucy.
