I never said that. Men and women came to the steppe, both from the West (Neolithics) as well as from the South East (Caucasian HG and early Neolithics) but mostly female lineages survived after the steppe hunter clans took over and expanded from the Lower Don Culture horizon in all directions.
I wasn't referring to you, Riverman.
That was, however, certainly the boast from some quarters: gene flow from the south was strictly female mediated. I believe another one was: no yDna "J" will be found on the steppe. I once said some people are so often wrong that you could fill the phone directory of a small city with their wrong predictions. I stand by it.
I have a prodigious memory for things which I consider noteworthy, and when I don't I have copious screen shots, so the re-writing of history doesn't work.
