Zanipolo, thank you for posting the links - apologies that I've seen this only now. I think I had seen the Battaglia article before, the other collection was new to me. That is just the one I am doing research on; I'm responsible for the paper trail research in this case. Talking of that: in...

Zanipolo, would you mind posting the 2010 article for Italian DNA once again? I cannot find it. Besides, there is one R1a-L1029 (downstream of M458) in the Lake Como area, the family name in question being documented there since 1100 AD on the Isola Comacina. Unfortunately, it is still unclear...

The geneticists' current age estimates for R1b - and this is what we are dealing with here - "are all more recent than the Last Glacial Maximum" (Wikipedia). However, the ice bridge theory would require R1b being in Western Europe during the LGM at the latest. That is what I am wondering about...

Hi folks, I am quite impressed. Now let's see. I am aware of the Clovis/Solutr?en theory. In fact that was how I came across this problem, even though Bradley and Stanford, as far as the DNA is concerned, only talk about mtDNA (the haplogroup X), not about Y-DNA. What I wanted to know was if...

R1* or R1b If one closely examines the R-M173 data published by Bolnick et al., they turn out not to be R1*, but R1b. Also, the modal type of Bolnick's R haplotypes is completely identical with the "Atlantic Modal Haplotype" of R1b. Bolnick's "other" haplotypes, when analyzed by Whit Athey's...
