"<br /><br />Yes.<br /><br />I know this guy, but it has been a couple of years since I spoke with him, so this is from my memory. <br /><br />At first the goal was to find descendants of the germanic (Scandinavian) tribes, but since the haplogroups scheme at this point in time do NOT separate all microsatellites, since they group them together with all the mutations that have happened over 1000s years within ancient lines, the project was impossible.<br /><br />This means that you can not separate out Norwegians, Swedes, Germans etc, so they started to concentrated on just a few lines, where they could analyze the whole Y-dna, and actually learn something non-trivial about human migrations. <br /><br />The Rollo angle is probably just a way to get money and complete Scandinavian y-dna, so he could go back the Vandals and the Goths again. <br /><br />The correct person to contact would of course be Sturla himself, and I am 100% percent sure that he would answer any mail that is sent to him, since it is his interest in people and making new contacts, that have made the whole explico project possible at all.<br /><br />SRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-9908431566601254682011-01-23T21:34:11.926+00:002011-01-23T21:34:11.926+00:00"remnants of the Celts in Turkey"
