As I have mentioned numerous times, all evidence suggests relatively easy gene flow between Europe, west Asia, and Africa until about ~300,000 years ago. After that time, the characteristic development of idiosyncratic Neanderthal features indicates severe isolation, which climate studies support. Also, very late <i>heidelbergensis</i> seems to have moved from eastern Europe/west Asia further into Asia ~250,000 to 200,000 years go based on a change in tool kits and fire usage - again in conformance with the east Asian fossils of that time.<br /><br />There is no question the huge set of distinct AMH features is of African origin - but a select few of these features already start developing just before the Neanderthal side-step and thus persist in some late European samples (Steinheim, Ehringsdorf).<br /><br />I wouldn't subscribe to a theory that <i>heidelbergensis</i> is <i>the</i> "ancestor" of <i>both</i> modern humans and Neanderthals. Clearly the latter, and through them and likely more directly in Asia <i>some</i> contribution - but the flow into Africa must have been ongoing in the preceding hundreds of millennia, so there is a significant impact on development in Africa - but my bet is, still, the larger genetic share is home grown, there. AMH characteristics are just too unique.eurologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440019181278830033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-33439278642227809112011-05-04T07:50:39.678+03:002011-05-04T07:50:39.678+03:00A MCLUST and an ADMIXTURE analyses of the data wou...A MCLUST and an ADMIXTURE analyses of the data would be fine.Onur Dincerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041378853428912894noreply@blogger.com
