A biologist, specifically an evolutionary geneticist. Why on earth would we care what a philosopher thinks about a purely empirical question? Most of them don't even know what an Ancestry Informative Marker (AIM) is.

The reason why you would care is that EVERY science was philosophy once. When a practice becomes axiomatic it moves out of philosophy and into science. Cosmology, medicine, geometry, you name it. All started with philosophical minds.
Yes, and evolutionary genetics hasn't been the domain of philosophers since about 1900. So why consult philosophers now, especially if they don't really understand the genetics?

a philosopher of biology, not of 1900s, relies on biology. Both can make accurate/reasonable claims

There are plenty of philosophers who understand genetics, and a broad perspective is nearly always useful. Don’t relegate us philosophers to the dustbin of history!
