[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mystery Solver: [QB] One thing that seems to support the reality of family relations as characterized by the Afrasan macro-family, is the genetic divergence of the groups therein. Many of these groups in the said macro family [language-wise] descend from ancestral populations which show relatively recent divergence dates with respect to the other. For instance, consider E3b1 lineages - one would expect that populations which are [i]largely[/i] part of this subclade, would speak a language that is a derivative and hence, close to that of the immediate precursor population. The scenario here would essentially be one where the language of the predominant lineage [paternal and/or maternal] within the population, is largely adopted by the population as a whole. And of course, in other cases, where populations are composites of two or more predominant lineages with distant geographic origins, [i]acculturation[/i] may be the result of the predominantly spoken language, depending on the nature of the assimilation. [i]Total[/i] language replacement [at least in the predominant lineage(s) of a population] in a situation where very little gene flow has occurred from outside, is relatively rare. [/QB][/QUOTE]
