	The Salt Lake Tribune -- BYU Gene Data May Shed Light On Origin Of Book of Mormon's Lamanites
		Sorenson, a Mormon who made his fortune in the medical industry, says he believes the research may shed light on the American Indian-Lamanite connection, but that's not what is driving him to donate millions to the cause; he wants to bring humanity together by demonstrating how closely related all people are.
		Sorenson said he believed the Lamanite issue may be examined once the database is complete, but only because this is a project meant to demonstrate ties among all peoples.
		Sorenson has already argued that Lamanites may well only comprise a sliver of the American Indian population, and that they may never be found in samples of DNA testing.

	Sorenson Communications

		(The federal government reimburses Sorenson $7.29 for each minute of use, money that he puts toward financing more free videophones.) So far the only drawback of the system is that it is so popular that deaf callers must sometimes wait a few minutes to make their calls because of a shortage of interpreters.
