[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by capra: [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: Just superimpose a map of mtDNA M on Tianyuang's global affinities. Tianyuang's affinities seem mtDNA M mediated, and entirely distinct from the mtDNA N-dominated OOA wave that today survives mostly in western Eurasia and the Sahul[/QUOTE][qb] Tianyuan was haplogroup R (specifically B)[/qb] and Sahul has more of the Paleo-Asian element than places with more M. So I don't think that makes sense. Not to say that the Paleo-Asian in GoyetQ116-1 isn't linked to his M, that's surely plausible. [/QUOTE]True. Just remember that Tianyuan just [i]has[/i] this affinity. Tianyuan is not necessarily [i]the source[/i] of this affinity, and so he doesn't necessarily have to have mtDNA M in the scenario I just painted. MtDNA M could easily be in his pedigree (e.g. if his father had mtDNA M he wouldn't have inherited it) even if he doesn't carry it. And, quite possibly, since mtDNA N is older according to some sources (e.g. [URL=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3322232/]Behar et al 2012[/URL]), the mtDNA M people could also have carried some mtDNA N. It might look like a hasty conclusion drawn from a couple of aDNA samples, but there is a lot of evidence to support it. Start with Mellars' research if you're interested. [/QB][/QUOTE]
