    Am J Phys Anthropol 132:584-9. 2007
    ..Our findings represent a cautionary tale in showing the difficulty of assigning individual ancestry based on a Y-chromosome haplotype, particularly for rare lineages where population data are scarce...

    Department of Genetics, University of Leicester, Leicester, UK
    Eur J Hum Genet 15:288-93. 2007
    ..Our findings represent the first genetic evidence of Africans among 'indigenous' British, and emphasize the complexity of human migration history as well as the pitfalls of assigning geographical origin from Y-chromosomal haplotypes...
