Sorry. I looked at my ping list and didn't see it posted. I thought something had happened with you.
Interesting article. Any ideas about the trigger for the marker changes?
I should think that Kennowick Man theory as presented in the book of that name is well centered in this article's premises. Did not the local scientist who did the first carbon 14 date sample extraction say that what we now call native American seems to be a gene pool less than six thousand years old?
Now I want to see the marker maps for Europe and the rest of the globe...and then we need to look at the mitichondrial DNA and see if some maternal patterns pop up.
It's been a long, long time since I looked at fruitfly chromosones!
That was this book.

Yes. I repeat that often.

Pretty interesting article (what I have read so far).
Bookmarking for evening reading ...
marking for when I have more time
Glad you're here. The basis for the study is the Replacement bias -- a cross between a master race theory and the Garden of Eden -- and genetic studies can't tell us much of anything about geographic origin. Regardless, it was our pleasure. :')
No. Drought?
I was quoting Chatters from his book in post #25.
Now that I think about it further, he was speaking about when they (these genes/Indians) began to show-up in the Americas, not how old the genes are. (Ahem, that way we are both correct.)

Just re-read this article in my doctor's office. I liked it all over again...Especially after reading Stephen Oppenheimer's book, Out Of Eden.
That's a cool tattoo. Too bad it has that unfortunate misspelling--"Kahn" instead of Khan.
