Mike, I agree with some of what you say but not the part about "recent" admixture. It was never pitched as recent. I'm not sure who told you that but they need to go back and look at things again. It was just the opposite. For a long time, people were looking for recent events to explain minority affiliation while ignoring some of the broader possibilities raised by the company and yet to be proven migration theories.

I'm not saying that the company was in a position to predict many of the surprises that came out of ADB 2.0 or that it was a useful tool for many who took it - I'm just saying that it was never pitched as an accurate measurement of "recent" admixture. It was labeled as a measurement for ancient DNA from the very beginning.
