Rich,

I was thinking in terms of larger lineage groupings. I1b vs I1a-Norse
vs I1a-u-Norse and so forth. If your line is dwindling the drift is
favoring some I1b who's father had five sons and who has had five sons
himself.:-)

The small village is the better example I think. Pre-Industrial
revolution most of the world was made up of small villages. The impact
of the colonization and the industrial revolution is much more
immediate to our research than the neolithic. At least we need to
understand them before we can hope to understand anything earlier.
