(C) 2020 by John F. McGowan, Ph.D.
United States Senator and Democratic Presidential Candidate Elizabeth Warren has claimed to be an American Indian, a Cherokee and/or Delaware, or at least to have American Indian ancestry depending on how one interprets her past statements and actions, backing this up in October of 2018 with a widely criticized DNA test.
In this video I argue that the DNA test was based on TOO SMALL a sample of Europeans (NOT American Indians) to reliably determine whether Senator Warren has American Indian ancestry.
The European sample was only a few hundred people, too small to accurately measure the incidence among Europeans of Asiatic DNA segments that American Indians appear to share with some peoples in central and east Asia.
