Chinese in India

[Hans Henrich Hock]

 From what I understand, permission from the Chinese authorities to
take DNA samples has been difficult to get; beside, DNA tends to
degrade--even tests conducted on samples about 1000 years later yield
only very tentative results.  Hemphill's study is based on
craniometry.
