Clearly, early Europeans whined loudly and called it “music” and were incurable liberal idiots.

I was once a member of the band Haplogroup “X”, though we got scattered due to low popularity. We did roam the earth in search of food and such (you know, the icky stuff you do to preserve the species...) but that was between or in spite of gigs.

I sure hope there are FR’s out there that can add science to this bulletin broadcast by the BBC beside the sillness contained thus far. It sure doesn’t look like what you and I were hoping for, is happening from what’s being posted thus far. Thanks for the post

More accurate ways of sequencing DNA might answer a lot of questions about human history. While there is a tendency for newer populations to displace the older ones there should hopefully be a little trace of the older populations lurking around. The ability to sort out the modern DNA and bacterial contamination of the DNA is a essential development in understanding the past.

My grandmother and Cheddar Man are in haplogroup U5a. A branch off from U2.

[Mike Darancette]

The "U" branch (comprising haplogroups U1, U2, U3 and so on) appears to be more ancient than many other genetic lineages found in Europe.

As a member of haplogroup U8a we welcomed the other folk into Europe.

Despite its rarity, the very presence of this haplogroup in today's Europeans suggests some continuity between Palaeolithic hunters and the continent's present-day inhabitants, argue the authors of the latest study.

the classics never wear out:

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve
in local libraries

Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]
