I asked for a citation on your other post, and instead of providing one, you posted this reply elsewhere that simply repeats the claim. Please have some rigor. There are readers here sufficiently involved in the field that they are comfortable with the scholarly literature on the subject and, what’s more, expect it.
- smallnamespace 7y agoThis is devolving into a silly 'no, you need to prove your claim, not me!' back and forth. FWIW, I'm definitely not a scholar in this field, but I'd like a plausible hypothesis for the extinction of entire Y haplotype lineages without the elimination of maternal lineages through just 'cultural diffusion'. Slavery and genocide seem like much more likely, simple explanations. I've been reading Herodotus's Histories and he makes it pretty clear that mass enslavement of conquered populations was not exactly rare. What do you imagine happens to enslaved men and women?
