But since you just said yourself that ever since you 'linked m222 with
'Niall - NW Irish'' the Irish have flocked to take the test, if you plot a
map using absolute numbers you will just be mapping your dataset bias.
Presumably you won't plot absolute numbers though. What we really need is
the results of say 100 tests for each geographic location.

There is a similar trap for the unwary in John McEwan's page where John has
coloured all the M222+ lines green. Hey look, they're all Irish
participants!

I am predicting that I will be able to draw a map relating to S21 (and S28)
finds across Europe and link clusters at the core with some tribal
affiliations - but then again I am a strong optomist and I may be asking too
much of SNP results. We are in the process of doing this with NW Irish via
M222 so I won't rule it out.
