“In fact, because the Y-chromosome undergoes very little DNA change, and is considerably larger in size than the mitochondrial genome, it is a much more reliable measure of human DNA diversity.”

Wow. This guy is either stupid or dishonest. The Y-chromosome undergoes MORE DNA change generation to generation than the rest of the genome. It is the fastest changing part of the human genome.

What else does this author either not know, or is he willing to lie about?
