Valerie: Questions about TMR4A

The following is from Human Y Chromosome Mutation Rate: Problems and Perspectives Note that Jeanson does reference some of these papers, but diverges wildly from the accepted range of mutation rate. Table 1. Methodology used, number of Mb analysed, mutation rate in bp-1y-1 and TMRCA in thousand years of age, in some relevant studies on human Y chromosome. Reference Methodology n° of Mb Mutation Rate TMRCA Thomson et al. 2000 [37] chimp/human 0.064 1.24×10-9 bp-1y-1, 50 ky Kuroki et al. 2006 [62] chimp/human 13 1.50×10-9 bp-1y-1, n.a Xue et al. 2009 pedigree 10.15 1.00×10-9 bp-1y-1, n.a Mendez et al. 2013 pedigree 0.24 0.62×10-9 bp-1y-1, 338 ky Francalacci et al. 2013 archaeology 8.97 0.53×10-9 bp-1y-1, 180-200 ky Poznik et al. 2013 archaeology 10 0.82×10-9 bp-1y-1, 120-156 ky Helgason et al. 2015 pedigree 23.1 0.87×10-9 bp-1y-1, n.a Karmin et al. 2015 aDNA 10.8 0.74×10-9 bp-1y-1, 150 ky Trombetta et al. 2015 aDNA 1.5 0.72×10-9 bp-1y-1, 291 ky What I note in above table…

I have bookmarked over 20 Y chromosome papers, and I do not even have access to an academic account. When a paper comes up on NCBI website, it lists similar papers and citations, and if you follow these you will be up to dozens of Y chromosome studies minimum.

You seem to under an impression that Jeanson et al are blazing an investigative trail, the significance of which has been overlooked by mainstream science. This is not the case at all, Y chromosome and mtDNA has been studied by hundreds, probably thousands, of scientists.
