DNA from an unnamed African-American from South Carolina is so distinctive that it led scientists to a unique conclusion: The roots of the human tree date back much further than previously thought.

“[His] lineage didn't fit anywhere on the existing Y chromosome tree, even though the tree had been constructed based on perhaps a half-million individuals or more. Nobody expected to find anything like this," Hammer said.

Interesting.

Interesting.

The study of DNA is interesting.  A male cousin of mine had his tested and it showed our exact ancestry and where our line (paternal) originated.
