This stuff is cool. The genealogy world is getting into this DNA arena.

I’m a bit skeptical about the quality of the comparison data.

I'm a bit skeptical about the Kennewick Man DNA.

8,500 years old.

Found buried just below the bottom of a river.

How long was it exposed to or saturated by flowing fresh water?

Decades? Centuries?

Hard to believe that would not seriously degrade the DNA in the skeleton.
