<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->A deeper problem with admixture testing is its claim to identify the "ancestral components" of different populations. For example, admixture testing considers people from India to be a mixture of "Indo-European" and "East Asian" ancestors. And indeed, Indians have some alleles otherwise common in Europe, and some otherwise common in China. <b>But Indian populations have been on their subcontinent for tens of thousands of years, and they have many alleles that don't come from anywhere else. </b><b>Anthropologists studying genetic variation have always found complexity rather than simple one-plus-one racial mixtures. </b>SNP-testing companies don't seem to have gotten that news.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
