‘Genetic mapping’: Saan nga ba nagmula ang Pinoy?

SAAN nga ba talaga nagmula ang lahing Pinoy?

Ngunit ayon sa isang dalubhasa, makasisiguro ang lahat ng mga Pilipino, maging ang ibang populasyon sa buong daigdig, na kabilang sila sa mga “mestizo” dahil sa iisa nilang pinagmulan.

Ito ang kinumpirma ng Espanyol na biologist na si Antonio Gonzalez-Martin sa isang kumperensyang pinamagatang Todos Somos Mestizos (We Are All Mixed) noong Hulyo 24 na ginanap sa Instituto Cervantes de Manila.
