Mormons don't do polygamy anymore, it was under strict laws when it was done in the 1800's. And also when polygamy was done, there never was any inbreeding. That is only for the Mormons. Now people in this day and age, that do polygamy, are not Mormons, even though they claim to be.
Now in the Book of Mormon times, we have had beyond thousands of years for DNA to change and also genetic mapping is not complete and we do not understand all the details that would be needed. One more thing, science does not explain everything that is on this earth as of yet. So some things, you have to take them as they are. And if you don't want to, figure it out yourself.

On 11 November 2003, the Church released the following statement:
The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ is exactly what it claims to be — a record of God's dealings with peoples of ancient America and a second witness of the divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ. The strongest witness of the Book of Mormon is to be obtained by living the Christ-centered principles contained in its pages and by praying about its truthfulness.
Recent attacks on the veracity of the Book of Mormon based on DNA evidence are ill considered. Nothing in the Book of Mormon precludes migration into the Americas by peoples of Asiatic origin. The scientific issues relating to DNA, however, are numerous and complex.
For a long time there has been substantial evidence of various kinds of significant migrations from Asia into the Americas over a land bridge created during the last ice age. Book of Mormon scholars have long accepted this, because they acknowledge the existence of "others" in the land, so for them it is simply not a problem. They view the Lehite migration as a small incursion into a land with an already existing substantial population.
p.s. d12.emin3m, don't answer ANY questions about mormons. you clearly don't know much about their beliefs.

I have never felt the need to require it for proof.
I did see a very interesting show on Mysteries of the Bible. It seems only recently, they finally found evidence of possible horse stalls pointing the fact horses may have actually been in Egypt. I didn't realize a lot of past scholars embraced atheism because they felt the Exodus story could not have been true. It's taken years and years to actually find some suggestion that horses and possible chariots were in Egypt.
Same thing could be possible on that DNA check--who are they checking it against? Modern people of Jewish decent who could have married other cultures or past bodies of Jewish people from a similar time period?
Comment . . . and no, we believe in the Bible and the New Testament record of Christ's birth. We don't believe He was born here. I have never met inbreed Mormons from Polygamist families. There were many widows and children that needed support at a point in time when women couldn't vote or really take care of legal matters. Polygamy was only practiced for a very short time when many of the men were killed and the Church was ran out of the legal limits of the United States at that point in history.

All mormons that trace back to the original founders of the church are inbred. Back in the day, they had 50 wives per husband, and literally hundreds of kids each, and those kids married each other and had more and more children. Mormons who are converts are obviously not inbred, but the vast majority of them are, and they have defects and weird features.

Mormons believe that Jesus was born again over here, not as a Jew again... I think. They also believe in poligomy and what not, so I don't agree with them at all, but I think that that's how they would answer this one.

This is religion. Science and reason check yourself at the door.

premature conclusion. DNA mapping is not complete
