[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [QB] "MtDNA history is not population history"... I never came up with this phrase. Milford Wolpoff did and John Hawks has also been using it on his paleo-anthropology blog. "[b]Mitochondrial history is not population history[/b], just as the history of names mentioned earlier is not the same as the history of populations." - Thorne, A.G.; Wolpoff, M.H. (2003). "The Multiregional Evolution of Humans". [i]Scientific American[/i]. 13(2): 46–53. The points you're raising to try to disprove Multiregionalism were addressed by Wolpoff and colleagues a decade or more ago. There's no genetic data that has falsified the Multiregional model of human origins; Wolpoff is still publishing research papers defending the theory. What was actually falsified was the Out-of-Africa model, hence Stringer in 2011 had to concede that: "The recent finding that significant interbreeding occurred between Neanderthals and modern populations [b]refutes the long-standing model that proposes all living humans trace their ancestry exclusively back to a small African population that expanded and completely replaced archaic human species, without any interbreeding[/b]." (d’Errico and Stringer, 2011) [/QB][/QUOTE]
