	Initially dubbed DNA Spread Theoretics<ref>On Thursday, May 22, 2008, 12:07 AM, Adam Wojtanek, of Poland, suggested the following descriptor for what the group was engaged in: "''It could be called R1a1 DNA spread theoretics or something like that.''" It is from there that the phrase DNA Spread Theory emerged.</ref> by the originator of R1a1 · (M17) DNA Haplogroup <ref>A Yahoo discussion group devoted to R1a1 DNA Genealogy</ref> discussion group, the roots of what is now designated '''DNA Spread Theory''' were first proposed in a 1979 book – ‘Path of the Serpent’ – by [[W. Lawrence Lipton\|Bill Lipton]]. DNA Spread Theory is a new interdisciplinary approach to the study of cultural evolution. In researching that ‘Path’, Lipton drew upon a combination of the then recent interest in [[Archaeoastronomy\|Archaeoastronomy]] and emerging studies in the fields of anthropology and archaeology – set in the context of established religious and cultural tradition – to posit the idea that the serpent constituted humanities earliest and most pervasive religious/cultural icon.<ref>http://articles.latimes.com/2009/feb/08/science/sci-evolution8</ref>

	Prior to the advent of economical gender DNA testing – with its application to [[Genealogical DNA test\|Genealogy]] and affirmation of George Darwin’s postulation of a link between [[Genetic genealogy\| surnames and genetics]] – there was no objective means of connecting the evolution of culture to specific populations. In archaeology, the trend was to use technologically unique artifacts to identify a cultural group. An example is found in the [[Corded Ware culture \| Corded Ware Culture]] – identified by [[Pottery\|coiled clay pottery]] designs – where a clan or tribal technological design is utilized to describe what is either a single population, or an amalgam of diverse groups.
