Don't hold your breath on that one

The problem with that is that it is based on the genome of one individual . Extrapolating from that limited data set is dodgy . Oddly enough there was another earlier genome of a named Irish individual who was quite different ,as we might expect .


Yes using the genes of one person to explain over 4 million is so silly, it's clearly madness.
