Scientists Create Genetic Map of History
Popular Archaeology ^ | February 13, 2014 | University College London

"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."

When you are not fighting for freedom, but instead the slippery will of an idiot king, weeds may be the moral choice.

Thanks for your reply.

I agree that science has become so politicized, and rendered non-scientific in the process, that it is reasonable to be skeptical.

I think these cowards were calling me a troll because they thought I was skeptical about the study, not because I accepted it.

The context is, you came in out of the blue to criticize me for posting this topic.

No.

If you think that you are mistaken, and paranoid or just dumb.

I think you need to apologize for It.
