I've seen earlier versions of those charts before and I get the basic
transition from
M198 down to L175 but I guess I'm not clear on the parenthetical need
for more tests.
Is that something that THEY do or would I have to upgrade to those
tests? Or what if
someone from our group who already has his Y67 (;-) ) joined the project?
Pretty soon R1a1a1g3a1 is going to be harder to remember than pi.
