The human genome contains a million years worth of populatio

A place to discuss matters of bygone times that are forgotten, but are recovered so that humanity is no longer condemned to repeat history as it so often does.

Durbin and Li analysed seven complete sequences: one each from China and Korea, three of European origin and two from west Africa. The pair concludes that European and Chinese populations both suffered a severe bottleneck between 10,000 and 60,000 years ago, while African populations endured a milder bottleneck at that time
It is interesting to note that Mu's collapse occured 15,000 years ago. Food for thought!
