""African"" Haplogroup E and to say that he doesn't ascribe to D/E an African origin is very disingenuous when the quote clearly states this (more than implies it). And for the last time, Chandrasekar does cite Hammer to support his conclusions, who only undermines him in 2008 with newer data.

From the paper:

[i]""Some of the YAP insertion chromosomes without the M174 mutation reached the Mediterranean via Central Asia and gave rise to the E lineage with mutations at M40 and M96 (~31 000 years ago; Hammer et al. 1998). This E lineage back-migrated to Africa through the Levant as hypothesized by Hammer et al. (1997) and Altheide and Hammer (1997)""[/i]. -Chandrasekar (2007)

I honestly have no interest in cherry-picking quotes with you and scrutinizing the accuracy of claims that are otherwise clearly discernible.  "
