MSM and creating a false Narrative once again.

As we all know,Wall Street is scared shitless of Warren and will do what ever it takes to discredit her. As we saw in 2015 run-up the same Orange ass idiot did his job with Clinton.

Same garbage,just a new truck.

Didn't even take a full 24 hours and the MSM is already letting drumpf define warren with the "heritage issue". This is why I said in the other thread about her announcement that I was worried about her because i knew the MSM would do exactly to her what they did to Hillary and "her emails"

and told me that I had even more of my major ethnic group than before. I know it was accurate because family members have done lots of genealogy.

So much of this depends on the database, and the database for Native Americans is known to be small. Since one of the most common haplotypes among Native Americans is also a haplotype of western europeans, it is possible that whoever analyzed her DNA attributed some DNA that actually came from a Native American to a western European.

http://science.sciencemag.org/content/342/6157/409

Now comes a surprising twist, from the complete nuclear genome of a Siberian boy who died 24,000 years ago—the oldest complete genome of a modern human sequenced to date. His DNA shows close ties to those of today's Native Americans. Yet he apparently descended not from East Asians, but from people who had lived in Europe or western Asia. The finding suggests that about a third of the ancestry of today's Native Americans can be traced to "western Eurasia," with the other two-thirds coming from eastern Asia, according to a talk at a meeting* here by ancient DNA expert Eske Willerslev of the University of Copenhagen. It also implies that traces of European ancestry previously detected in modern Native Americans do not come solely from mixing with European colonists, as most scientists had assumed, but have much deeper roots.

"I'm still processing that Native Americans are one-third European," says geneticist Connie Mulligan of the University of Florida in Gainesville. "It's jaw-dropping." At the very least, says geneticist Dennis O'Rourke of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, "this is going to stimulate a lot of discussion."
