Comments on: Pinpointing The Geographic Origins Of Europeans From Their DNA http://anthropology.net/2008/09/03/pinpointing-the-geographic-origins-of-europeans-from-their-dna/ Beyond bones & stones Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:03:54 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Ponto http://anthropology.net/2008/09/03/pinpointing-the-geographic-origins-of-europeans-from-their-dna/#comment-13870 Ponto Wed, 22 Apr 2009 11:53:24 +0000 http://anthropologynet.wordpress.com/?p=1329#comment-13870 The large assay of SNPs from Europeans just shows that the origins of Europeans, other than simply looking at their external appearance, can be traced using SNPs provided the list of SNPs is large enough. What I want to know as a European is not where I come from, I know that already, but where do Europeans originate. All Europeans are from somewhere else, i.e immigrants, the difference is when they arrived in Europe. Where did the East European types come from? Where the classic Nordid Europeans? Where the thicker set Central and North Europeans? Most people accept that Southern Europeans are directly from the Middle East from Neolithic times but the rest of Europeans, no one knows.
