    For the moment, I guess I am willing to acknowledge the possibility
    that the Piasts and some random sixth century Pict might have had a
    common direct male-line ancestor living a few thousand years ago, but
    I remain skeptical.

    At a minimum, I am withholding judgment until I see the paper and see
    what exactly that 'Pictish' sample is, and how closely related it is.
    The author stated that the paper had been accepted for publication, but
    it has not yet appeared on the journal's web site. (It is an open-access online journal, but produced as a lower-tier sister-publication of one
    of the most respected science journals - I will drop a URL once it
    appears.)

    I promised a URL when the article on Piast DNA was published. Well,
    something squirrely is going on. I have been checking regularly, and the article has yet to appear, even though it doesn't take anywhere near
    this long for an accepted science paper to be published in an
    open-access online journal like the one named.

    Either the author was misquoted or exaggerating when he said it had been accepted, or it was 'accepted with revisions' but the demanded revisions
    were so onerous that it amounted to de facto rejection.

    Either way, I am no longer expecting imminent publication, as I was when
    I promised a URL.
