Dear Didier,

 

Thank you for the off-line invitation to join this discussion, however, frankly, I do not see any point to do it since the discussion continues on a blah-blah level. All points which you listed above have been answered by me earlier in this Forum. You have all my data in that regard - comparison of R-V88 and M73 to P312, comparison of V88 to each other (different branches), etc. on the intraclade and interclade level, with all calculations of TMRCA and cross-comparisons. The question is answered a long time ago, on a quantitative level. What is a point to walk in circles?

 

It is a long time known that a common ancestor of M73 and P312 in MUCH older than a common ancestor of V88 and P312. V88 arose on a route from Central Asia to the Middle East, and it is closer (time-wise) to the first than to the second region.

 

It is a waste of time to "discuss" questions such as this one without three things in place: (1) base haplotypes of the subclades/branches, (2) intraclade/branch TMRCAs, and (3) interclade/interbranch TMRCAs. Everything else, including PRESENT-DAY "frequencies" is a waste. They do not mean anything in a historical context. They can be considered only as a supplementary, secondary information.

 

Unless the three items listed above are laid down and quantitatively considered, there is no discussion. There is a kindergarten.

 

Regards,
