BOSTON, Mass. (Dec. 21, 2008) — Modern humans left Africa over 60,000 years ago in a migration that many believe was responsible for nearly all of the human population that exist outside Africa today.

Interestingly, something similar happened in the Pacific:

Maori Men And Women From Different Homelands

"Whyte has now identified 10 haplotypes in New Zealand Maori. “From that we have worked out that 56 women came to New Zealand to create the diversity of today’s population,” she added."

Remember that it is the Melanesians that have remnants of the DNA from the unique, now extinct humans, recently found in Siberia.

It might explain why 1-4% of human DNA is attributed to Neandertals; the majority of men were lonely enough to at least try it, and a number of fertile hybrids resulted even if we were nearly separate species.

The woman who has been raised there has the advantage of proven resistance to local diseases and often local survival knowledge. That would put a premium on locally produced women over imports.

The genetics in this article might also be explained by an interrelated group ousted and attracting the beta and gamma males along with it. The females were more related, and the ousted group took the help. Or when they had become established in a new territory, a new generation of ousted males were accepted for genetic diversity.
