One glaring mistake I observed was: "In addition to Genghis Khan and his male descendants, researchers have previously identified the founders of two other highly successful Y-chromosome lineages: one that began in China with Giocangga, a Qinq Dynasty ruler who died in 1582." while Wikipedia says Qing Dynasty did not begin until 1644.
edit: Looks like a commenter addresses it: "Here is part of the abstract of that paper: "We suggest that the lineage was spread by Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) nobility, who were a privileged elite sharing patrilineal descent from Giocangga (died 1582), the grandfather of Manchu leader Nurhaci, and whose documented members formed approximately 0.4% of the minority population by the end of the dynasty." Giocangga died in 1582 and was in Ming Dynasty. He was the ancestor of Qing Dynasty rulers. His lineage was spread by Qing Dynasty nobility. BTW, It is Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) not Qinq Dynasty."
