Well yes, but it's very hard to quantify the effects of genetic drift for one person and their ancestors. It could be the expected value which all we can really guess, but it could also be very strong. Anagram posted... But then how does the Mito DNA say part Native American? Without actually seeing the test, I'm guessing it's testing something like sequence identity. That means 0.1% of the dna matches a native american reference but it doesn't mean that it had to come from a Native American. It's more likely that this is just a very small amount of overlap. --- DPOblivion was far more determined than me. http://backloggery.com/herodeltiempo/sig.gif <cite>HeroDelTiempo17 posted [p:883393996] in Does anyon...
