Strange, I could not find the article "Europeans may have Arab Genes" ; I
did a search on gene or genes and on Chikhi on their site
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/connected/main.jhtml?_DARGS=%2Fcore%2Fsearch2%2Fc
onnectedAdvancedSearch.jhtml
Instead found an article "Genes show Welsh are the true Britons"

Subject: [DNA] Europeans may have Arab Genes


> Today's Daily Telegraph (London) has an article with this heading
highlighting a report by"a population geneticist" Dr Lounes Chikhi of
University College, London University, which claims that half the genes of
indegenous Europeans may have come from Middle East immigrants who brought
farming to the continent 6,000 - 10,000 years ago. The report is apparently
to be found in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences". The
newspaper article concludes by saying that "the University College team used
a new statistical technique to study rare Y chromosome mutations - unique
event polymorphisms - which are not thought to have occurred more than once
in recent human history".
