Ann...

Thanks.

"I'm sure Sykes and others are doing lots of data analysis to clarify the
picture."

I sure hope you are certainly correct.... As a novice I am getting a
proverbial headache trying to make sense of these mtDNA values.... It looks
like the OA diagram would lend itself nicely to a cladographic key like
the YCC SNP Figure 1...

I feel what Johnny Cash meant in his song about the worker in a Detroit auto
factory that assembled a car (Cadillac?) from various factory parts over
several years....Similar to 5% American Indian, 20% European, and 85%
something
else..."no one has seen anything like that this since then or ever again"...
