Finally the answer from the Specialized Scientist has been received, which I am pasting as underdafuq are you on about? First you talk about fingerprinting, then about saliva swab. And what would that prove unless we have DNA extracted from IVC skeletons to see what they were like
"Different companies use different methods... some use the Y-chromosome, which will only trace back the male side of the family tree, while others use mitochondrial DNA, which is maternally inherited and so traces the female side (mitochondrial DNA is also what was originally used to determine the "Out of Africa" hypothesis,
(i.e. that humans originated from Africa).
DNA fingerprinting is more for forensics... like, to establish relationships between existing family members, such as paternity tests, etc"

I can get mine done ,but because I don't have a Y-chromosome it won't reveal much about my ancient paternal history
Actually, maybe I can have a kit sent to BD for you through someone traveling there this summer. In that case you would have to mail the samples (saliva/ cheek swab) from BD to the US.
