    3. List Tucked away in the supplementary material is mention of the mitochondrial Haplogroup: Mota was assigned to haplogroup L3x2a. Haplogroup L3 arose 60-70 kya in Eastern Africa where the richest present-day haplogroup diversity is found. All mitochondrial haplogroups found outside Africa descend from the L3 lineage and hence this haplogroup is associated with the spread of Homo sapiens out of Africa to the rest of the world. The subhaplogroup L3x2 is restricted to the Horn of Africa and the Nile Valley in modern Ethiopian samples, suggesting a degree of maternal continuity in Ethiopia over the past 4,500 years. Perhaps look at my page for 'L3x2a' at: http://www.ianlogan.co.uk/sequences_by_group/l3x_genbank_sequences.htm Ian ------------------ On 09/10/2015 16:27, Wjhonson via wrote: > The main problem with "out of everywhere" is that no human remains older than two hundred thousand years have been found *anywhere* other than Africa >
