What do you think about genetic clustering (alleles, microsatellites,etc) ??
What can they tell us ?
Do you think we can determine race or ethnicity by genetic clustering ?
Here is what a study says :
"We have shown a nearly perfect correspondence between genetic cluster and SIRE for major ethnic groups living in the United States, with a discrepancy rate of only 0.14%."
""It is not true, as Nature claimed, that 'two random individuals from any one group are almost as different as any two random individuals from the entire world'" and Risch et al. (2002) state "Two Caucasians are more similar to each other genetically than a Caucasian and an Asian." "
Genetic clusters study :
A majority green means European, a majority red is African, etc..
Other genetic clustering : There is homogeinity between Europeans, while Levants (American Ashekanazi, Druze, Palestinians,etc) are apart.
