Hi Folks
I don't know if you people are aware of the genography project which
is promising to re-write human history over the last 190,000 years.
It is already having an effect for example:
Y Chromosome M17 Haplotypes were shifting nomadic famers and steppe
dwellers who moved originally from the Ukraine steppe toeards
Khirghizstan. In India M17 is closely associated with Indo-Aryan
speaking Indians and is much less common amongst the Dravidian
population. Elsewhere it also shows a close association between M17
and Indo-European speaking men, from Iceland eastwards. Today over
40% of men from Czechoslovakia to Siberia and south through Central
Asia are M17 carriers. M17 came from the Upper Paleolithic M173
lineage that also gave rise to the M343 R1b Y chronosome Haplotype -
the Cro Magnon people who never aquired M17. These people retreated
into Spain and Southern France at the Ice Maximum, and today number
70% of the population of Southern England and tops 90% of the male
population of Spain and Ireland.
Co-relating these discoveries with human languages is an interesting
project. Certainly M17 appears to be the Indo-European marker,
whilst M343 R1b appears to be the marker of the pre-Indo-European
substrate in Western Europe.
Interested in people's comments
