Pete, could you please clarify something for those of us who aren't
molecular biologists?

Neither Whitfield nor Harpur make it clear from where they are deriving
their SNPs--Harpur does not mention the word "nuclear" and Whitfield uses
it only once (but not relative to his methods).

Both authors state the problems with mitotyping (based upon mitochondrial
DNA), but neither makes it clear to me that they are comparing SNPs only
from nuclear DNA (which would be the genes associated with behavioral
traits).

Could you please clarify this for the benefit of the List?
