I wonder about these DNA studies, not that I am disputing the findings, but as time goes by, they find out more and more about DNA (like “jumping genes” and epigenetics) that make it hard to come to such a linear conclusion as “this group is the oldest...” etc.

And given the EXTREME bottleneck of the Toba supervolcano event ~75KYA BP, any results need to be factored greatly.

Mankinds population at that time fell to about 5,000 individuals WORLDWIDE! Almost an extinction event!
