Ellen et al.:
For the percentage of J2 in the tribes of Central Asia see, Zerjal et
al., "A Genetic Landscape Reshaped by Recent Events: Y - chromosomal
Insights into Central Asia", Am. J. Hum. Genet., 71:466-482, 2002. As to
the evidence you request, I have already gone on record saying that my
40 page manuscript is being reviewed by Dr. James F. Wilson of the
University of Edinburgh. I presented an overview of the historical,
archaeological and DNA evidence in a recent posting. That is all I am
prepared to do until the paper is peer reviewed and published. David.
