Certainly, war has affected some population more than others. I have used pedigree mutations rates on somes sets of data 2K years older or less. I find that history and the dates obtained correlate well. However, when I try to make longer term estimates, I feel like time is compressed. I know that Dienekes doesn't agree with the analysis of ZUV, et.al. Yet, I feel something like a factor of 2 to 3 is needed to expand time.McGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03459589185170647441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-53084986488268665902010-05-29T08:03:50.107+03:002010-05-29T08:03:50.107+03:00Anyone who takes any molecular clock date seriousl...Anyone who takes any molecular clock date seriously is fooling themselves.Marcel F.
