Have to admit, sceptical of modern DNA studies :-/ Isotopes relating to AS migration open to multiple interpretations too...
I was simultaneously taken aback & impressed by tenor of chapter - very frank summary of shortcomings & outlook for DNA etc.
often presented as 'magic bullet' for solving question of no. of ASs etc, but not convinced! Subsequent studies likewise >

Dr Caitlin Green added,
I moaned about assumptions made in Weale et al 2003 in book too, pp.124-5: lots of issues in my view! Isotopes equally >
