Jennifer Raff, an assistant professor in the anthropology department at the University of Kansas, said the geneticist who analyzed Warren’s DNA is a prominent scholar in the field, and the method he used and the way he used it was appropriate. Raff, who has read the report, said the geneticist looked at Warren’s chromosomes and was able to trace segments of them back to a Native American ancestor about six to 10 generations ago.
“The approach he took was solid,” she said, “and I would trust these results. However, they only speak to ancestry, not tribal affiliation or identity as a Native American.”
