Alan, how do you explain the DNA of a bear (extinct now) found in a cave in
Leitrim to match most closely to Spanish bears?

Just finished watching it.  Its quite an expensive looking and well made
program (2nd and final part next week).  Unfortunately it is, as I thought,
based very much on yesterday's take on things which has been all but
demolished in the last year i.e the R1b=ice age refugia=hunter gatherer
genes=basques=Celts false correlation.  Oh well its a salutary reminder not
to accept superficial fortuitous correlations.
