Where is this reference? To have a match on the other end one needs a donor. Who was the donor to do said push? People mainly don’t understand DNA, let alone how it can match so far back with out a dna donor. So, since this is your topic, would you entertain the idea to explain it and clarify the way it works. I have already spent much time on DNA, but not in the Arizona finds, only the Oregon university. My comments are based on Founding of people to the American continent, which is among speculations, but assumed 14,000 est. And new studies on the east coast being opened up. I have see references older than this one also. Seems there are a variety of sciences. I have had that link on screen too. Just this a.m. You want to explain the DNA cycle Joy? For the folks?

The New Root – Haplogroup A00 At the Family Tree DNA conference in November, Michael Hammer, Bonnie Schrack and Thomas Krahn announced that they had made a monumental discovery in the age of modern man known as Y-line Adam. The discovery of Haplogroup A00 pushes the “birth” of mankind back from about 140,000 years ago to an amazing 338,000 years ago. Utterly amazing. The DNA came from an American family from South Carolina. This discovery highlights the importance of citizen science. Bonnie is a haplogroup administrator who recognized the potential importance of one of her participants’ DNA. Thomas Krahn of course is with Family Tree DNA and ran the WTY test, and Michael Hammer is at the University of Arizona. So you have the perfect blend here of participant, citizen scientist, commercial lab and academia. What was never thought possible a decade or so ago is not only working, it’s working well and changing the face of both science and humanity.

You should find a better observation. I don’t because I read like we all do to learn. Dennis has the ( only ) found DNA sample that old on the continent. They listed all the markers.
