[edit] Map Image

The proposed origin, migratory route, and time depth of LLY22G (y-DNA haplogroup N) on this map is not at all in accordance with the current peer-reviewed scientific literature on the subject. See, for example:

On Hg N: "A counter-clockwise northern route of the Y-chromosome haplogroup N from Southeast Asia towards Europe" (European Journal of Genetics, Dec. 2006. Nature.)

On Subhaplgroup N3's subclades: "Y-chromosome haplogroup N dispersals from south Siberia to Europe" (Journal of Human Genetics, Aug. 2007. Springer Link.)

[edit] Meaning?

The opening paragraph of section "Haplogroup U5" contains the following statement:

The first place scientists find U5 in Europe is in Cyrenaica, and artifacts are found in Iberia, as it's the first in Europe and evolved in Europe.


However, to the best of my knowledge, Cyrenaica is located in Libya -- and Libya is not now, nor ever has been, considered part of Europe. Polaris999 20:34, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
