Uwe wanted evidence for other migrations that was
archaeological.

See figure 1.

I was not wanting, I was offering evidence for other migrations.

Now what that paper says is:

"Basques and Canary Islanders are very clearly associated with
modern Europeans."


"...subsequently the in situ residents of those areas, derived
from the late Pleistocene inhabitants, absorbed both the
agricultural life way and the people who had brought it."


The linguists will not like that. It runs contrary to what their
data tells them. The archaeologist will not like that either, as
there are settlements, that continue from the Bronze age right
through till modern days without a change of population.

You don't like C.L. Brace. Oooohhhh my. But the fact of the matter
is that there are protrusions into the paris basin, the HLA speaks
the same story.
The other thing is that a reasonable explanation for the franco-
germanic HLA is the back and forth motion taking place, large
influxes followed by retreats followed by influxes from other
directions, followed by retreats.

I do not want to comment on anthropological measurements being
treated as evidence for "genetically shared relationships".

I just thought our conversation was getting into a rut
and needed to go some other directions. Isn't this a nice other
direction. lol.

C.L.Brace is an very intelligent paleoanthropologist with a few
strange ideas, in many cases his morphological assessments have
come into very close agreement with the HLA. Timing is always an
issue and there is some reliance on the archaeology. I don't agree
with him when it comes to multiregionalism, I think that is staked
ground he is defending. Just so you know.
