interesting:

Also, a press release from the foundation notes, "The study also confirms the presence of genetic subgroups of more rare, less known and geographically limited genetic groups who arrived later." Those groups are not detailed in the paper.

This is not made up by Mormons, it actually has a name: The Solutrean Hypothesis

This recent study goes against that:

Obvious what the spin on this will be, but how does one explain that the 95% wouldn't count as "other nations" per 2 Nephi 1:8?

The actual of arguments are interesting, but given your medical knowledge and understanding of genetics, what say you?

Have you retrieved the whole article as I only read the abstract?
