Non-Darwinian estimation: my ancestors, my genes' ancestors.

Genome research - 1 May 2009

Weiss Kenneth M, Long Jeffrey C

Abstract excerpt

There is widespread interest in characterizing the organization of human genetic variation around the world from a population perspective. Related to this are attempts to describe the pattern of genetic variation in the human species generally, including "recreational" genomics, the genome-based estimation of the ancestry of individuals. These approaches rest on subtle concepts of variation, time, and ancestry...
