Oldest genetic families
In 2011, there were reports of a man from Lower Saxony in Germany whose genetic tests had shown that he was related to people who had lived in the same valley three thousand years ago. Have there been any further similar discoveries since then?
And going a step further: how likely is it that one has ancestors who lived in the same place over three thousand years ago? At any rate, assuming it is clear that those ancestors could not have settled there earlier – as would be the case, for example, with European ancestry in the USA or with Māori ancestry in New Zealand.
