"I'm treating the mutation rate as a substitution rate" - Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson

Huh? Maybe you misunderstand…or I don’t get your point.

We have independent historical population size data. Jeanson says his model matches the population growth data from 1000 BC to the present. That’s in spite of the fact that many of the migrations the evolutionary model says are prehistory actually happen sometime in the last 3000 years in his model.

Sure, I’ll consider it. I’d like to read a paper or two on what you’re describing. Share your favorites…
