Ken,

Your post was a wonderful story. Since your four hypothesized clades aren't
defined by SNPs that are documented in the scientific literature, could you
post your underlying 52 STR marker data set on your web site for others to
review? (i.e., the actual data and not just the deduced Founder's Modals)

In addition, could you tell us how many samples where analyzed and how these
samples in this data set were selected to ensure the sample wasn't biased?
Though I would never accuse you of "cooking the books" it is easy to come up
with a tight analytical story and a bulletproof haplotype tree if one is
allowed to preselect the underlying data.

Repeatability is the essence of scientific discovery.

Thanks

- Kevin Campbell
