Has anyone noticed the eerie phonetic similarity between the names Baluchistan, Balochistan, etc. and the ancient Mesopotamian references to a place in the east called "Meluhha" and the Aryan references to barbarian "Mlecchas" and their ilk? Not to mention the modern ethnonym of the people who speak the Brahui language. Ebizur 21:44, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Link to www.familytreedna.com

I noticed that the link to www.familytreedna.com was broken, but wasn't sure exactly where it originally pointed to. Familytreedna does have a project page on haplogroup L, but I'm not sure anything there supports the statements in the paragraph that are attributed to the link. I redirected the link to the Familytreedna haplogroup L project page, but there are probably better web pages out there to support the contention that European members of haplogroup L likely belong to subclade L2. And actually, my personal experience is that European members are just as likely to belong to no subclade that has yet to be identified as to subclade L2. (These would be designated as L*.)
