Locating Where You Come From by Your Genes
A paper in Current Biology (fee required) is reviewed in the New York Times. The bottom line: people from the same country tend to clump together in a map of their genetic make up. Thus, in theory: “it should be possible to devise a forensic test to tell which country in Europe an individual probably comes from, said Manfred Kayser, a geneticist at the Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands.”
The maps are most interesting.
