Model reveals surprising disconnect between physical characteristics and genetic ancestry in certain populations
Stanford model reveals surprising disconnect between physical characteristics and genetic ancestry in certain populations Stanford biologists have built a model examining the relationship between physical traits and genetic ancestry in populations formed from the mixture of multiple founding groups. They found that the relationship dissipates over generations.
