Sykes told a white man belonging to haplogroup <a href="http://trrobinson.com/2006/06/22/15-minutes-of-fame-winds-down.aspx#Comment" rel="nofollow">R1a</a> that he descended from "Genghis Khan" (that is, he belonged to a completely different haplogroup, C3, which shares a MRCA with R1a over 30,000 years ago) . You can see why skepticism might be warranted toward Sykes' attempts to make sense of more subtle differences within western Europe.n/ahttp://racehist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-6566246944243697732009-09-11T18:01:27.984+01:002009-09-11T18:01:27.984+01:00Why are you not a fan of Bryan Sykes, I read his &...Why are you not a fan of Bryan Sykes, I read his "Vikings Celts and Saxons, Blood of the british isles".
