It's interesting indeed but I do not think science should be militant. <br /><br />"Are you mostly concerned with the meso expansion out of the F-C refuge and its impacts?"<br /><br />In truth I just try to understand the whole picture and get a good answer. I'm concerned with everything (up to a point). <br /><br />Right now something that bugs me was largely discussed <a href="http://forwhattheywereweare.blogspot.com/2012/03/junk-scholastic-paper-promotes.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> with Marnie (and by email with some other people). Why Neolithic did not stabilize mtDNA (in some parts of Europe at least) into modern patterns but we have to wait till Bronze or at least advanced Chalcolithic to see it? <br /><br />There may have been a Chalcolithic expansion from Portugal (?) and I never really expected it too seriously: it was just the always discarded option B. Of course it's not the origin of any haplogroup as such (Neolithic populations were already too large for that) but the expansion as in Modern times, with many founders who reproduce an irregular copy of the homelands' patterns. Portugal/SW Iberia is a strong candidate because Dolmenic Megalithism began there and it had the civilization as well. Not just that, Chandler's survey of Neolithic Portugal suggests that they had the massive amounts of mtDNA H (75-78%) needed to "correct" the Neolithic mtDNA pools of West Europe into modern ones. The Bell Beaker hypothesis but with emphasis in Megalithism instead and Iberian origin, Portuguese specifically. <br /><br />But it's just a hypothesis I'm chewing on. I may outline it one of these days in a post for more open debate. <br /><br />But whatever the case it's not a militant issue: I get angry at bad science and at irrational defense of what is indefensible but I'm less clearly leaning for one specific explanation (I have opinions but not "causes", not in science at least).Majuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369840391933337204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023805782808412230.post-85384757975236202192012-03-22T02:23:27.213+01:002012-03-22T02:23:27.213+01:00"HV4 overall may have originated in or near E..."HV4 overall may have originated in or near Eastern Europe however, where most of the basal diversity seems to be."<br /><br />I don't understand why you're not more enthusiastic. I heard you arguing with dienekes on the neo replacement model. Thus shows that H was in Europe pre neolithic and that the high level of H in modern Europe does not require a neolithic replacement.<br /><br />Are you mostly concerned with the meso expansion out of the F-C refuge and its impacts?princenuadhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165977957244158593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023805782808412230.post-67708034287377966472012-03-21T11:18:16.029+01:002012-03-21T11:18:16.029+01:00I can only agree with that evaluation, Eurologist....I can only agree with that evaluation, Eurologist. Just because some lineage is also found in West Asia it does not automatically mean it originated there: flows from Europe to West Asia surely happened as well. <br /><br />"We know that there was actually migration out of Europe to the near East after LGM".<br /><br />I think it's very probable at some moments (Beldibian art, Zarzian genesis) but I would not go as far as to say "we know". <br /><br />But IMO it is the case that bidirectional genetic flow happened in the Paleolithic and that the simplistic interpretations of all being original from West Asia are not correct. <br /><br />"Someone without this neolithic replacement bias should work on that and quantify it"...<br /><br />Easier said than done, IMO. Not just the genetic surveys are not homogeneous or ample enough but discerning what came from here and what from there is a matter of constant debate, sometimes honest, other times not so sincere.Majuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369840391933337204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023805782808412230.post-89687072568207431382012-03-21T08:47:28.060+01:002012-03-21T08:47:28.060+01:00The middle Eastern branch is of interest: it show...The middle Eastern branch is of interest: it shows you how careful one must be with claiming that certain branches are extra-European pre-neolithic and therefor indicate European replacement.
