One last point I'd like to note is that a small survey which turns up just one person with a given haplotype could just as easily miss that person. All of a sudden the 4-5 million people represented by that person have 'dropped' to zero, and "vanishingly rare" is now "nonexistent" - although it's not. And, with a 7% margin of error, your extrapolated 4-5 million might actually be more like 60 million.
And with a 7% margin of error, it might actually be more like zero. Once again, a study shows there's no evidence for total Replacement and instead there's evidence for Multiregionalism. Strange, every time a DNA study is done, the result matches the morphological evidence for Multiregionalism.

Yeah, I'm sure anthropologists just pulled the prevailing theory out their !
DNA from mitochondria (mtDNA), the Y chromosome, and ancient humans each suggest that the ancestors of all living people arose in Africa some time after 200,000 years ago, swept out of their homeland, and replaced archaic humans around the globe without mixing with them.
I guess "no evidence" is euphemism for "no evidence I find persuasive"......
