Andrew,

Apparent paradoxes are interesting, but A = A. Thank you for putting into
words this developing situation. In my opinion only, I would think the
true experts should be making good efforts to fit the histories with the
DNA realities. I'll put my money on the science.

Best Wishes,
Eric Olson
