You really need to stop abusing this author's work with your utter misunderstanding of science.
from your reference, McKane, once again:
The idea that haplogroup X2a is derived from an ancient trans-Atlantic migration to the Americas has been repeatedly considered — and rejected — by anthropological geneticists over the last two decades
Meldrum...suggested that X2a is the result of an ancient Hebrew migration from the Middle East to North America....
This hypothesis is undermined, though, by four key findings: X2a is not found in the Middle East, none of the X2 lineages present in the Middle East are immediately ancestral to X2a, the date of coalescence for X2a (14,200 – 17,000 cal year BP) significantly precedes the hypothesized migration from the Middle East (Perego et al. 2009), and haplogroup X2a was present in North America far earlier than the hypothesized Hebrew migration, having been found in the – 8400 cal year BP Kennewick Man remains from Washington state (Rasmussen et al. 2015).
Thus, X2a does not provide any evidence for an ancient Hebrew migration from the Middle East to North America.
But you still didn't answer my question:
So I ask for the third time, can you explain why you included non-new, thoroughly debunked dna stuff and called it "new" in this latest post?
And why you are now re-posting it again, after abandoning multiple threads where your work has been proven wrong and you have been asked about it but refused to respond?
Your behavior is getting very close to ldsfaqs-troll level.
What's your point?
The point is the closest genetic link outside of North America is Iran or the Middle East. X2a'j is the linking genetic marker to Native American
haplo group x. It's the closest genetic link to x2a anyone can find
You guys wont admit this buts a proven fact
