   It's sort of like they're using the conventional work to prove   
   the DNA, then claim that the DNA proves the conventional   
   work.   
      
   It's interesting in regards to the questions they don't answer.   
      
   Hatshepsut, for instance, boasted of sending an expedition to Punt.   
   But if there was trade then why would she even have to?   
      
   And when exactly do we start seeing worship of the baboon?   
      
   What's the oldest baboon remains they can find in Egypt, how does   
   this DNA fit in?   
      
   My biggest concern is that modern distribution does not match   
   ancient populations. That, humans drove them extinct in some   
   places and, by collecting & trading in them, introduced them to   
   new areas. Or swamped local gene pools with imported members.
