 I'd also like the link to the map please, I'm curious to read the other details... :D     I know what Franklin said or I would never had mentioned him. As JJT said, back on topic. It is my humble opinion that to determine if a person is White or not then viable control DNA going back X amount of centuries would need to be used. That means some intact remains containing viable DNA and newer means of testing will have to settled on. I think that some of the 'bog people' is an excellent place to start. However, I don't know enough to say. As Victoria pointed out earlier, the present DNA tests won't tell you if your White but it will tell you if you are not. I get what you mean by a control group, but is it even possible?    If evolution theory is correct and an ancient ape-like hominid through natural reproduction with the millions of random combinations in offspring that it produces along with the mutations, was slowly being naturally/sexually selected into a population that became the homo-sapiens-sapiens, and by geographical separation this early h-s-s specialized into the different races/subspecies we have today, how can a model control individual be picked??    I mean it's not like magically the perfect white/black/asian model, was just dropped into earth and from there on it spread along...
