[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [QB] @ Xyman Arnaiz-Villena et al only used a handful of genetic markers and analysed them individually. Apparently you didn't look at his work, which has Japanese very close to certain Sub-Saharan African populations. This shows why single-locus genetic markers are useless to determine overall genetic relatedness: "Using results from the analysis of a single marker, particularly one likely to have undergone selection, for the purpose of reconstructing genealogies is unreliable and unacceptable practice in population genetics. The limitations are made evident by the authors’ extraordinary observations that Greeks are very similar to Ethiopians and east Africans but very distant from other south Europeans; and that [b]the Japanese are nearly identical to west and south Africans[/b]." (Risch N, Piazza A, Cavalli-Sforza LL [2002]. "Dropped genetics paper lacked scientific merit".
