Western European ancestry has more Neanderthal DNA than that...

Senator Elizabeth Warren has released a DNA test that provides “strong evidence’’ she had a Native American in her family tree dating back 6 to 10 generations, an unprecedented move by one of the top possible contenders for the 2020 Democratic nomination for president.
Warren, whose claims to Native American blood have been mocked by President Trump and other Republicans, provided the test results to the Globe on Sunday in an effort to defuse questions about her ancestry that have persisted for years. She planned an elaborate rollout Monday of the results as she aimed for widespread attention.
The analysis of Warren’s DNA was done by Carlos D. Bustamante, a Stanford University professor and expert in the field who won a 2010 MacArthur fellowship, also known as a genius grant, for his work on tracking population migration via DNA analysis.
He concluded that “the vast majority” of Warren’s ancestry is European, but he added that “the results strongly support the existence of an unadmixed Native American ancestor.”
Bustamante calculated that Warren’s pure Native American ancestor appears in her family tree “in the range of 6-10 generations ago.” That timing fits Warren’s family lore, passed down during her Oklahoma upbringing, that her great-great-great-grandmother, O.C. Sarah Smith, was at least partially Native American.

Trump’s new slogan for Warren. Elizabeth Warren is a one percenter
If you were a liberal, though, you could be an oppressed minority. How great is that!
You are right about thus not matching her story.
This is trace level, common randomness.
Yet, consider it actual - it’s not what her story was.
Western European ancestry has more Neanderthal DNA than that...
I checked back 10 generations and one of my fore-bearers married an a half-Indian women. Does that mean I can check the box now? It was only around 1715 in Colonial Virginia. So, I am more related to Pocahontas than Elizabeth Warren.
Not only that, you’re about 30x more Jewish than she is Indian. Mazeltov!
Rule number 1: Never believe anything political coming from someone residing in the San Francisco Bay Area or a product of Stanford/Berkeley. It is is more than likely to be a lie.
WOW!!!! I hope I never do anything to give you folks an excuse to take me apart as you’all have done to this poor indian lass. OUCH :)
Mazeltov! I am also 0.1% Native American. So, Warren got nothing on me.
She was referred to as a woman of color.
In 2012, she claimed 1/32nd ancestry, just enough to qualify for the OLD standard for being Cherokee (the new standard is 1/16th).
This test shows that AT BEST, she is 1/64th SOMETHING other then european; that something could be columbian, mexican, or actual american indian — the American Indians are not participating in DNA studies, so they use south and central american DNA, and suspected migration patterns.
And like a true liberal, Warren claims that this means Trump should pay up. Trump oddly claimed he never said he’d pay up (it’s on record), and instead he should have pointed out that her own suspect DNA tests prove she doesn’t have enough of an ancestry to qualify as an Indian, that it proves her claims in 2012 were false, and that the average american was found to have more than 1/1024 indian blood, so she’s really just and average white woman.
THe “white woman” thing would be fantastic since the left has decided that white women are now part of the evil cabal.
That's called the Christine Ballsey Ford attack. (Credit: Rush Limbaugh for "Ballsey" instead of Blasey)
LOL. That makes ME more of a "Native American" than Warren!! Can I get a job as a professor at Harvard too???
99.99902% privileged lilly white insane Leftist loon!
Truth doesn’t matter. The media is reporting it in such a way that an idiot public will think exactly what lizzy wants you to think.
So can she prove her ancestors migrated to America 300 years ago? I doubt it and certainly they hadn’t migrated to Oklahoma territory where the Cherikee nation was, 300 years ago. This is all such poppycock.

If the common ancestor was ten generations back from each, so that the two descendants are separated from each other by 20 generations, a single mutation on average might have occurred in either one of the two lines. If the common ancestor was 20 generations back, so that the modern descendants are separated by 40 generational events, we could expect a mutation in each of the lines, and a two-step difference between them. But how many years is that?
At the usually accepted value of four generations per century, ten generations would place the common ancestor only 250 years in the past, in the mid-18th century, suggesting a further search in records of that period for evidence pointing toward the relationship. However, the longer three-generation per century interval indicated by the recent research would place the common ancestor in the late 1600s, with a much-reduced chance of finding further documentary evidence bearing on the relationship.
If the common ancestor lived 20 generations back, the 25-year interval would place him about the year 1500, about at the outer limit of genealogically useful records except for kings and nobles. The new higher estimates would place the common ancestor over 700 years in the past, beyond the scope of genealogical research methods.
Read some reply’s on the article. Man there are a lot of deluded people out there.
I like it. It could even be White Squaw with Forked Tongue or even Commie White Squaw with Forked Tongue. :)
