 Back to
 my earlier point of what is Pureblood, consider that all the
 minor human races all derive from Terran sources,
 transplanted to foreign soil. While you might have case for
 identifying those transplant lineages, the reverse isn't
 especially true once you include more recent transplants
 within group "Pureblood". In that DNA
 identification is a statistically operation and lack of set
 of genetic markers isn't proof other than the Lack.

I recall a TML discussion of a minor human race in which an isolated 'hillbilly' segment of home planet's population was physically distinct from the rest of the pop. I believe a case could be made that this distinct pop segment could be the 'purest' of all.

In any case, I agree w/ the idea that what the SolParty really means by 'pure blood' is the lack of so-called 'Vilani genetic contamination' more than anything else.
