@stopthatgirl7 Great article. Population genetics is extremely interesting. I like how the authors weaved in some of the characteristics of the people disclosed by the genomes of the people they studied. Max Planck Institute has been at the forefront of much of this work, very solid source. I assume they were studying mitochondrial DNA because of the age of the samples.
