Well, DNA could technically not include information of linguistics, although the tribal custom of sticking to your own group could lead to certain conclusions...


 * I've tried to clarify this by adding "the relationships between" --Drallim 12:46, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

External links modified
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 1 one external link on Archaeogenetics. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
 * Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20030226045523/http://www.mcdonald.cam.ac.uk:80/Genetics/ to http://www.mcdonald.cam.ac.uk/genetics/

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at ).

Cheers.— InternetArchiveBot  (Report bug) 04:32, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Applications section
Hello all, I've added a section to discuss the applications of archaeogenetics. I've added a subsection specifically about human archaeology, which is broken up by region. Each region has some archaeological findings attributed at least partially to archaeogenetics. There are likely many important archaoelogical findings that I have not included. There are also regions that I have not included. FR-85 (talk) 22:03, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

This sentence needs to be fixed, but I don't know what it is supposed to say
In the section on Human Archeology, subsection East Asia, this sentence appears. "For example, the Pan-Asian SNP study found that Negrito populations in the Philippines and the Negrito populations in the Philippines were more closely related to non-Negrito local populations than to each other, suggesting Negrito and non-Negrito populations are linked by one entry event into East Asia." I have bolded two identical phrases that should obviously be different. But, I can't correct it because I don't know what it is supposed to say. Please assist.

I have similar problems with this sentence from the section on Domestication of Animals. "Genetic studies have be shown to support that all dogs are descendants from the gray wolf, however ..."

I don't personally know if all dogs are descended from gray wolves, so I don't know whether to fix the grammar, or both the meaning and the grammar. If all dogs truly are descended from gray wolves, the sentence could be repaired by simply changing it to "Genetic studies have shown that all varieties of dogs are descended from the gray wolf species, ..."

This would require citations. I note that the same reference, number 39, is given no less than six times in this brief section on dogs. The citations for such a claim as this should really be more comprehensive than that. Janice Vian, Ph.D. (talk) 21:41, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The first thing, I think one of instances of the identical phrase is likely supposed to be "Negrito populations outside the Philippines." That's the only logical conclusion I can draw after reading the rest of the passage...I am not in the slightest bit known knowledgeable about Negrito populations inside or outside the Philippines ^^.
 * As for dogs being descended from grey wolves, that is fairly widely known..dogs are mostly universally classified as a grey wolf subspecies (Canis lupis familiaris), so.. not much of an issue there. Except to fix the badly worded sentence, which has likely been done by now, but I'll check. 2600:1702:4960:1DE0:990E:6194:BD59:277D (talk) 16:10, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
