Well, despite your somewhat caustic attempt to dismiss the correlation
between languages and y-haplogroups out of hand, such a correlation does
exist. The fact that it does is self-evident. What is less obvious are the
reasons for the correlation, how far back in time the correlation extends in
each case, and what each such correlation means.
