Comment Comment by mikeyjk Wouldn't we expect to see substantially more than 30% of the DNA be different.I don't think carbon dating can be used to extract DNA.I also would have thought DNA would have degraded significantly over that period of time.There are probably a thousand more reasons this is blatantly false, to those with scientific knowledge beyond my early highschool experiences.It's bizarre and fascinating the Mexican government has entertained this. parent mikeyjk 3 years ago
