"more contrived feelgood therapy for the afrocentrists"

All humans come from lines designated L1, L2, and L3. Everyone outside Africa are descended from L3 and are more related to themselves than anyone in Africa. The L1 and L2 lines are still in Africa but, the L3 line has gone extinct in Africa.

yeah yeah yeah........all of which means that the human species started in just one place on the earth. (and to justify THAT, they point to leakey who just "happened" on a skull that was waiting on a rock out in the weather for sll those centuries, LOL)

Instead of making up stories, "scientists" should be building omni's, so people could see for themselves.

"Scientists" are the most serious grifters in this world, as regards the past and future. They love to build on questionable, postulated, and false premise.....

I could have sworn that L3 Haplogroup is ONLY found in Africa???

African mtDNA haplogroups

L1 (L1a, L1b, L1c) - Populations carrying L1 are the descendants of the KhoiSan speaking peoples

L2 - This haplogroup is east African and it is related with the Bantu expansion

L2a, the most common clade (62% of the total L2), is the only one widespread all over Africa. Not surprisingly, it is also the one more associated with the Bantu and their expansion

L2b and L2c are more concentrated in western Africa (particularly Senegal) and are virtually absent in eastern Africans, in Biakaand Mbuti Pygmies, and is rare in southern Africans. It is common in some Senegalese populations.

L2d is the rarest, but it also appears mainly restricted to western Africa (particularly Western Sahara and Mauritania/Senegal).

L3 (L3b, L3d, L3e)- This haplogroup is east African and it is related with the Bantu expansion

L3* (also known as N/M/L3) - It is particularly important to make it quite clear that this group is specific to sub-Saharan Africa, since it is present in a great deal of the European populations including the Finns [Passarino et al. (2002) even found L2 lineages in a Norwegian sample, so the presence of African markers introduced in Nordic populations during the Neolithic shouldn't be a surprise]. This African haplogroup, mostly introduced in Europe during the Neolithic (as explained in Gonzalez et al. 2003) is distinguished from the Eurasian haplogroups M and N at the nucleotide positions 10400 and 10873, respectively (Quintana-Murci et al. 1999).
