"Modern humans migrated out of Africa via a southern route through
Arabia, rather than a northern route by way of Egypt, according to
research announced at a conference at the National Geographic Society
this week.
“Evolutionary history shows that human populations likely originated in Africa, and the Genographic Project,
the most extensive survey of human population genetic data to date,
suggests where they went next…Modern humans migrated out of Africa via a
southern route through Arabia, rather than a northern route by way of
Egypt,” said a news statement released by IBM."
“The divergence of a common genetic history between populations showed that Eurasian groups were more similar to populations from southern India, than they were to those in Africa. This supports a southern route of migration from Africa via the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait in Arabia before any movement heading north, and suggests a special role for south Asia in the ‘out of Africa’ expansion of modern humans.”

R1a1 in C Asia and the ME/Greece is India-specific and represents the known Indic and Iranian expansions into these regions. All European R1a1 hangs off just one or two SNPs, cannot be derived from upstream R1a, R1, R, or P all of which are found in the southern arc. Phylogenetically European R1a1 is similar the R1b found in Africa, an early but non-diverse line. Importantly the European line is delimited to the Europe and its trajectory is from the East.
ReplyDeleteDespite getting massive funding, Dieno and his horde of clowns will definitely continue the charade for another decade.
where do you think the origins of R2A come from?
