Ancestry Surprises From New Genetics Analysis Method
An anonymous reader commends a recently published study involving a new way to analyze genetic variation in human populations (full article published in PLOS Genetics): "[S]cientists from Ireland, the UK and the US analysed 2,540 genetic markers in the DNA of almost 1,000 people from around the world whose genetic material had been collected by the Human Genome Diversity Project. The results include a number of surprises... the Yakut people of northern Siberia were found to have received a significant genetic contribution from the population of the Orkney Islands, which lie off the coast of Scotland... there must have been a period of gene flow from northern Europe to east Asia. The study also shed light on the peopling of the Americas, as the results suggest that the native populations of north and south America have different origins."

Mormons have been saying this for nearly 200 years. No, they don't claim that they're the only people that arrived there, only a portion.

I knew my boss had something to do with cannibals.

I sadly came up with nothing... anyone who knows where to find anything like this? Just RTFM Figure 4. Summary of inferred history of the peopling of the world

My wife's pregnant with her first. We had a girl's name picked but were having hell trying to find a boy's name. She was having trouble so we had another ultrasound. We now KNOW it's a boy. I think this story has settled it. I'll be naming my first born Vladamir McHaggis. Being beaten up will build the boy's character.

God invented whiskey so the Irish would not rule the world.

I don't see all the Slashdot nerds signing up for Iraq.

already covered above, in 1421 a large fleet of chinese ships were sent out, but before they returned the emperors forbidden city burnt down and the people turned inwards and neglected the returning heros
Any plan which depends on a fundamental change in human behavior is doomed from the start.
If you read the Mormon books. (I've been seeing too many FLDS stories on the tely lately.)
