DNA is a biological factor and       has nothing to do with the social environment the person, or his       ancestors were in.              If there existed a group of Chinese living in Europe for several       generation, and you matched that group, your DNA would show Chinese       ancestors not European ancestry.              However if you have a DNA Match to a person it is a fact.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
