'This study shows that what it means to be British is complicated and always has been,' says one of the authors of the study. 'Human migration history is clearly very complex, particularly for an island nation such as ours, and this study further debunks the idea that there are simple and distinct populations or races.' The findings also have implications for forensic researchers, who often use DNA profiling in criminal investigations. 'Forensic scientists use DNA analysis to predict a person's ethnic origins, for example from hair or blood samples found at a crime scene,' explained Professor Jobling. 'Whilst they are very likely to predict the correct ethnicity by using wider analysis of DNA other than the Y chromosome, finding this remarkable African chromosome would certainly have them scratching their heads for a while.'"
