With regards to [this article:](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/3050/who-are-the-gypsies)

Some [new research](http://www.readability.com/read?url=http%3A//esciencenews.com/articles/2012/12/06/european.romani.exodus.began.1500.years.ago.dna.evidence.shows) seems to push the dates back a bit further than reported by the SD Science Advisory Board.
