[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: [qb] lol! Ok my brother. But, Am I right or I am I wrong? 1. There is a >20year difference making most likely NOT from the same mother? 2. Both carrying M1a1 does not make them bilogical from the same mother. 3. I understand the inscriptions states "brothers." Same father different mother? doesn't that make more sense? [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [qb] [QUOTE] They are [b]not confirmed to be half brothers[/b]. WTF! They are [b]confirmed to carry the same[/b] or similar [b]mtDNA[/b]. THAT IS ALL.[/QUOTE]Today is NOT the 18th of January. It's the day after the 17th. --Xyyman You're NOT a living being. You're a lifeform. --Xyyman Might as well add these while you're at it.. [/qb][/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]You are right that it's possible to carry mtDNAs that are identical, without being siblings. MtDNAs evolve 'fast', but not so fast that distant family members can't belong to the same mtDNA. But given the textual evidence, you might as well say the maternal sibling relationship is confirmed. As far as age difference, part of it could be because one died earlier than the other. People can even grow older than their parents' ages, so why not as brothers? Unless I'm missing something from the ancient texts, the only way to tell is dating both mummies and I don't think they did that, or that it would completely settle things. Anyway, too bad they didn't release STR data. It's not as fun when the DNA Tribes crowd is on such a losing streak :p . At least the 8 STR data would give more fuzzy Great Lakes and South Africa results and a glimmer of hope. (BTW, you know that IAM would likely have SSA affinities in 8 STR, right?) [/QB][/QUOTE]
