It has been explained to me that the man from Senegal probably has been accurately tested but the similarity of results is probably the result of what is called "convergence", an accidental pattern caused by mutations (which are themselves unpredictable in nature). New test results are coming in that suggest my all-male Sachs line would likely have been from the area of Lithuania (farther to the east than Lissa) in earlier centuries. HFS
