Despite initial press reports to the contrary (blogged here), the Miami Herald reports today that University of Miami accounting professor Tom Robinson is not in fact related to Genghis Khan:
A University of Miami accounting professor who garnered brief fame for his genetic link to Genghis Khan will have to put his dreams of marauding on hold. It now appears that Palmetto Bay resident Tom Robinson is not a genetic descendant of the 13th-century Mongolian warlord, he said Tuesday.
