Subject: [DNA] Europeans may have Arab Genes
Date: Tue, 6 Aug 2002 22:36:10 +0100
Today's Daily Telegraph (London) has an article with this heading highlighting a report by"a population geneticist" Dr Lounes Chikhi of University College, London University, which claims that half the genes of indegenous Europeans may have come from Middle East immigrants who brought farming to the continent 6,000 - 10,000 years ago. The report is apparently to be found in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences". The newspaper article concludes by saying that "the University College team used a new statistical technique to study rare Y chromosome mutations - unique event polymorphisms - which are not thought to have occurred more than once in recent human history".
I pass this info to the List for what it is worth.
