Well, I did a DNA analysis via 23andMe and it is amazing how precise they can be with geography.
They knew nothing about me but just had some spit in a tube.
They correctly identified the geographic location of my grandfather’s village! They did the same for my mom - we thought it was wrong, but later found out that it was right and my mom’s information about her origins was wrong.
They can see markers and genes and identify where they come from and where they are prevalent.
My guess is that this work looked at where these receptors were most and/or least prevalent.
It seems Europeans and Africans are immune to a lot more pathogens - perhaps due to the fact that both were exposed to tons of plagues over the millenia...
Anyway, thought it was interesting so posted it... food for thought for us armchair medical researchers and epidemiologists... :)
It is interesting.
Thanks for posting.

That must have been a better one than my wife did. They pretty much had western Europe shaded in blue. “Well I knew that!”
My grandparents were all born in small towns in Norway. And we already had those roots traced back 500 years. All the roots stayed in the same valleys/fjiords.
Ancestry, 23andMe, and other genetic testing companies sell their data to the Chinese, enabling them to further refine their bio-weapons.
