I read something awhile back that discussed this project, and which also touched upon a growing trend among certain ethnic populations...namely, the use of DNA testing to determine who had the most "pure" blood, i.e., the least diluted lineage pointing back to their ancestral lands. It was said that there is a trend toward racial bias being based on this data *within* the same apparent ethnic group.
"I'm more (your ethnic group name here) than you!" How unerringly human.
