"A second branch, extending from Asia back to Europe, traces the migration of a small group of Asians who founded at least one group of modern-day Caucasians.”

I'm reminded of a statement in one of Professor Stephen Oppenheimer's book that said about 50% of Europeans can trace their DNA to one man in the Indus valley who made their way to Europe via the Middle East. He said the other (about) 50% could trace their DNA to a son of the same man who made their way to Europe via Russia a thousand years later.

I have to tell you I know nothing about this subject, but your threads seem to send me off into wonderful topics I've rarely taken the time to explore. I've been at it for over an hour (maybe two) already. Thank you!

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve

Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]
