At 200,000 years ago it is doubtful that 'modern' humans had even first appeared. So even if both mt-DNA and Y-DNA originated at the same time, and in the same place, it need not be associated with fully-modern humans.terrythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17327062321100035888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-72061783807745892382012-07-29T12:16:45.219+03:002012-07-29T12:16:45.219+03:00Ahh..but what if they were?

I have never seen any reason to assume that the modern haplogroups had originated in a group whose ancestors had always been confined to Africa. I have also never seen any reason to assume that both Y-DNA 'Adam' and mt-DNA "eve' originated in the same place and at the same time.terrythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17327062321100035888noreply@blogger.com
