>Your young estimates are nothing new to this list. This discussion has been going on since someone used mcgees program to estimate that R1b was 6 or 7K years old several years ago.

My response:

If you are talking on Iberia or Europe in general, it is not "6 or 7K years old", It is much younger, between around 3600 ybp in Iberia and 4200-4600 in Europe. As well as M269, S116, U152, U106, etc. And, mind you, I am talking on ancestors of presently living people, not on extinct folks.

>I would hardly call archeology and genetic evidence, climate change and geographical analysis "thoughts and interpretations".

Thank you for mentioning climate change in that line. It gives a particular flavor to the arguments. You forgot to add "human-made".

Regards,

Anatole
