mingwan0,

From your link:
Will O'Reilly of the Met says they had reports that the attacker was black or of mixed race, and when DNAPrint compared the results with a database of 500 people, the markers did not match those from West Africa or those of mixed race. They were similar to those in African-American populations, but O'Reilly says the most likely match, given the population of south London, where the attacks took place, is African-Caribbean.

Would you, or anyone, like to take a crack at interpreting that?

Some of the information in the link conflicts greatly with other information that DNAP is presenting. It has seemed that "Indo-European" and "European" has been used interchangeably and now DNAP claims to be able to make a finer distinction. Was it always only European rather than Indo-European that DNAP was ever really able to distinguish?

What the devil is "mixed race" in this context?

Looks to this old bit pusher that the hardware is once again racing way ahead of the software. Way, way ahead.

Best, Terry
