Elizabeth Warren é (um bocado) índia

Elizabeth Warren Carries Native American DNA – She’s Running!, por Razib Khan:

The proportion of ancestry is not large. But it is clearly there. They compared to the Utah white and British European 1000 Genomes populations, which is a good standard for Old Stock Anglo-Americans. She’s clearly an outlier, with about an order of magnitude more “Native American” ancestry. So it’s unlikely to be some artifact. (...)

But we know that Warren’s family background is such that a shift toward a Northeast Asian group is likely to be Native American. Not Chukchi. Further analysis could confirm, but the most likely hypothesis is that this is a woman of Northwest European ancestry with some Native American ancestry.

Um ponto adicional é que os cherokees (uma das tribos de que a família de Elizabeth Warren diz que é descendente) são eles mesmos mistos, logo alguém que tenha alguns antepassados cherokees vai parecer "menos índia" do que alguém com, digamos, antepassados navajos.
