“The results of these studies are providing data to rewrite the history of the cultivated potato and will aid breeders to better interpret the true pedigrees of our modern potato,” said Spooner.
pointless, except for the personal edification of a very few.....and taxpayer funded
To: blam
The next logical question may be:

Well, maybe now they can get to the problem of why the “European” potato tastes better with malt vinegar while the American potato tastes better with ketchup.

I couldn't help it.
Still, history has always fascinated me. Especially when someone finds a piece of the puzzle that doesn't seem to fit.

Why {and how and when} did the potato cross the Atlantic?They couldn't have done it themselves. This is clear evidence of alien or Atlantean assistance.

Not true. American potatoes taste best with Malt vinegar.

I snipped and quoted the only selling point from the article, and based my comment upon that.
What you claim in your response may or may not be true or applicable.

Maybe so, but if one thinks a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, it is nothing compared to ignorance!
