... All detected mixing has so far been attributable to very small numbers of events, ...

It would be interesting if we could determine whether this was due to a small number of occasional events,

Or it was due to reduced interfertility\compatibility, so only a few offspring survived.

Or the superior sapiens genetic material swamping out the other stuff as older generations gave way to newer ones.

How would this work?

The superior genetic material gets selected for every generation.

As the generations pass, the amount of inferior material swimming through the populations lessens.

Natural selection deselecting offspring?

Every selection for one thing is a selection against something else.

Re: braided net

... rather than spontaneously arising in different independent populations (which has always been where my skepticism of the multi-regional hypothesis).

I think you have the Multitegional Hypothesis confused with something else.

Re: braided net

A pattern of interwoven or braided genealogies however does provide paths for sharing different traits across many areas creating a montage of mosaic patterns.

And that's exactly what MH is:

quote:
Wikipedia on Multiregional Origin of Modern Humans (emphasis added):

Multiregional evolution holds that the human species first arose around two million years ago and subsequent human evolution has been within a single, continuous human species.

This thing you're talking about involving independent evolution of identical characteristics in unconnected populations isn't MH.

Love your enemies!
