I don't have an opinion in this debate. I do, however, have some concerns about DNA evidence. Based on recent problems in the Houston Police Department crime lab it seems that DNA can prove whatever someone wants. Maybe there are others who are competent in DNA testing.
It's worth noting that the geneticist who if I'm not mistaken first tested modern Europeans for Neanderthal mtDNA sequences, Brian Sykes, expected to find them and was very surprised that he did not.
