Just keep reading maybe it will all sink in. You still want to make things simple to satisfy the Genographic Project. What people tell you from DNA companies is very often only half a truth. If you think for a minute information is not useable from a DNA test to find more than you want everyone to believe you are really not facing facts. Try for a moment to figure out what else one has to do to trace your DNA back in time. It is more than a 12 marker test. What people have to do if you use everyone who is tested is to find all branches of each tree for a give Haplotype. SNP testing, deep clades which trace the route backward in time 12 markers is just the beginning. Any group that does this to trace people back in time use 37+ markers and other tests for specific mutation sites to trace your DNA backward. I just went through this process, Ethnoancestry. Of course I don't know what was done so you tell me. Go to Haplo-tree testing and you will begin to get the idea. John McEwan has an R1b site, Kerchner has another and this is just a beginning of what you have to do that the Genographic Project has also to do to use a persons DNA to trace him back in time. Just twelve marker testing just a start. So it all depends on how much you want to understand and what you want to believe. Visit the "I", R1a and all the other Haplo-tree sites and maybe you will get the picture.
