Bonnie, Charles,
It seems to me that Charles's explanation makes the most sense from an
historical standpoint (admitting fully that I am only an amateur historian -
my degree is in the Humanities).

However, what bothers me is the discrepancy between the 2.0 test results,
and the observed very low frequencies of specifically east Asian Y & mtDNA
haplogroups in Europe. Granted, the DNA Print test does not look at the same
markers as Y & mtDNA tests, but one would expect more East Asian Y among
Europeans, no?
