How could the sparesly populated and remote area in and around Papua New Guinea keep two really old haplogroups, M and S, whereas the rest of Asia and Europe had major replacements on larger landscapes: haplogroups NO for Asia and IJK for the Middle East and Europe. Is there a MS superclade before it goes back to MNOPS? If this is so, then that would suggest the haplogroups M and S were born there. If they were brought there, why are these two branches going all the way to the roots of MNOPS the only ones found in Indonesia and hardly anywhere else today?
