[QUOTE]Originally posted by Elmaestro: [QB] [b]@Cass[/b] There's a very underrated thing not often considered in debates called context, when separating batches of paragraphs and passages it can be lost and manipulated. I give you credit for at the very least citing the author though. ;) [QUOTE]The first widely used molecular markers were variants of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the [b]non-recombining region of the Y-chromosome[/b] (NRY). mtDNA is inherited maternally and transmitted from a mother to her children, while the NRY is inherited paternally passing down from father to son. These uniparental markers are transmitted from one generation to the next intact (apart from new mutations) [b]and have known mutation rates, allowing straightforward construction of phylogenies and inference of some aspects of population relationships.[/b] Uniparental loci are, however, sex-specific and experience strong drift, providing a limited view of the complex human history. For example, Neanderthal mtDNA analysis shows no evidence of admixture with modern humans [50], although admixture has occurred and is detectable when the whole genome is considered.[/QUOTE]Absolutely everyone on here knows that Autosomal DNA gives better insight on population relatedness, and complex history... but, ...really? --[i]"Nothing. MtDNA history is not population history. ...Why do living humans have Neanderthal autosomal DNA but not Neanderthal MtDNA?"[/i]-- ^this statement/rebuttal is nothing more than a literary evasive maneuver... Gymnastics. And although I don't really understand what you mean by a 'neutral' marker... you answered your own question in regards to where's the Neanderthal DNA. [i]See when you practice bending and twisting you get flexible. & Upon getting more limber you'll eventually develop the ability to kick yourself in the head. ...You don't even need another (me) to do it for you.[/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
