Can DNA testing discover a common ancestor?
« on: 20/12/2016 09:26:01 »
Wayne Pedelty asked the Naked Scientists:
   
Could DNA testing discover a common ancestor, given the DNA from two living male individuals, who do not have a common surname, but have ancestral lines which can be traced to the same small valley in England?
What do you think?
