Perhaps they can fill any missing DNA sequences with code from a Crowned lemur.

The part I don’t get, is that the articles keep mention this guy n the US as being the closest living relative of Dick III. But then, they state that this is due to the guy’s maternal DNA, which is ridiculous. All that gives is ethnicity?! Anyway, there are other male descendant, and they could use yDNA with any of those - assuming the news articles aren’t full of round worms, too…
