Eran Elhaik a geneticist from Europe slammed a paper by Dr. Hammer is of the University of Arizona.  Elhaid is a PhD employed by a Swedish genetics multinational conglomerate.  

Hammer announced the A00 Haplo type discovery in in 2014.  DNA from a grandson of a slave in South Carolina was submitted to a genetics testing firm.  It came up as "unidentified."  The scientists had never seen a DNA sequence like this gentleman had.  Hammer and his team traced it back to a tiny village in Cameroon.  It was close to a port where the slave trade had taken place in the early 1800s.  

Elhaik released a paper a few months later attacking Hammer and his findings.  But Elhaik got his dates wrong.  And he also has quite a curious past.  The credentials of his team members are questionable, as well.  

Here we point out Elhaik's consistencies.  Unfortunately, Hammer has been driving out of the field of human genetics.  Living archaic hominins exist in southwest Africa, but nobody is currently researching them.
