I agree, however, I don't see how you separate DNA genealogy, from the
history, anthropology or all those other things that go to make up *our
personage*...

Scientific evidence is not credible until it is commonly accepted by the
scientific community....and it just seems to me, most of this is merely
theory bouncing around without any degree of certainty, except *if you match
on markers or don't match*....

And certainly the uses or misuses of DNA testing is relevant information to
those even in the genealogy community....

Wrong?

For anyone contemplating moderating another list called "Anthropology -
dna", I believe you are just asking for trouble. Such a name will attract
everybody under the sun that wants to simply talk endlessly about myths and
legends and their theories of this tribe and that tribe. It will drown out
the serious contributions about genes.
