So how would you explain their conclusions?

=============
I don't even call it a "conclusion".

Geneticians have this "hybris"
that they don't have the slighest reflexive
activity upon their methods,
theirs numbers, and their "results".

It's level 0 of epistemology.
You take samples
You shake m up.
You write the results.
It's truth because it's genetics.
You make a pronoucement
about an unsolved historical problem.
Stupid.

I feel like vomiting.
