Re: OOA: A Model of Migrations

What I disagree with is the claim that for genetic information from group A to get to population X a thousand miles away that some members of A must have traveled all the way to X and mated with some of X's members. This is one way for the genetic information to travel, but it is not the only way, and so reconstructing a pattern of genetic movement should not lead us to believe we are also reconstructing a pattern of actual people movement.
And what are the other ways?

Re: OOA: A Model of Migrations
I still don't see how that is different. Yes, you add an intermediate step, population "B", but it is still a migration model. Perhaps it is closer to the pony express than the telegraph but it is still a migration model.

Okay. That explains the 'what'. And the 'how'?
On foot, step by step.
Even if there is some interbreeding at the boundary of A ---> B unless your carry that through the whole population, of B, you need someone carrying the A gene set to walk all the way to the boundary of B ---> C to screw around.

Yeast is Yeast and Vest is Vest.
But our population boundaries aren't real; they're arbitrary. We don't actually have distinct and separate populations; we have just one. And we don't need massive migrations to move genes around within single populations.
Huh?
We are talking about relatively small populations spread over very large geographical distances.

Re: Yeast is Yeast and Vest is Vest.
Of course the distances are both relevant and significant.
Jon writes:
What is important is that we have a single population, whose status as a single population is maintained by regular and frequent interbreeding of neighboring groups (what we've been calling the smaller populations).
So you have asserted, but that is all.

Re: Five percent, though!
How did the existing populations get there?

Re: Continuity of the Species
Of course it's an issue. OOA has held for the longest time that sapiens, erectus, Neanderthals, etc. are all separate species. The new genetic evidence has disproven this claim.
HUH?
Is it not possible to distinguish Neanderthal remains from Hss?

Re: Continuity of the Species
What makes you think it is the same species?
