You are cute when you are stubborn

Thanks.

@John_Harshman

But I believe you are unable to answer the questions rather than just unwilling.

Maybe. Anyway the split for Noah’s 3 sons is in the middle of the figure you shared from Karmin et.al.

Anyway, I’m in a good mood because my hard cover book arrived this morning. When reading the ebook, I thought it was kind of boring, but in print it’s pretty.

And not doing all that badly if we judge by the response of @thoughtful, who is representative of Jeanson’s target audience.

Creationists think Jeanson’s book is convincing because Jeanson agrees with the Creationists.

Well, YEC already believe in the timeline, so yes it is exciting to see how more of the story happened. It’s frustrating to read about millions of years your whole life and not have anything else to fill in. But the interesting thing is there isn’t any faking Jeanson’s enthusiasm if you watch recent videos. He obviously believes in his own research and is looking for indigenous peoples to help him in further research.

And is this book going to matter, at least in the YEC world? I think so, because the YouYube algorithm reached me with the 2020 video series along with hundreds of thousands of other people. And the subset of YEC people who don’t care about science but like history and ancestry will also get it, and maybe the set of those people who aren’t YEC too. It is mainly a history book. That’s what’s surprising. The word “evolution” probably doesn’t even appear 5 times. I was curious how people were reviewing the book so I went to the Amazon page. They were sold out. Then when I bought my book they were again running low. In a video with Ham and Jeanson they mentioned something about the first printing selling out. So I assume that Amazon bought or reserved whatever AIG didn’t.

Well, for example, the various populations in which the R1b haplotype occurs. And, though it’s not a population, the R1b haplotype itself. I’m talking about the contradiction between Jeanson’s dating and reality. Was this not clear?

Since I’m in a good mood, I’ll share some pictures of R1b that are relevant. Jeanson is doing this presentation on Monday I believe so I’m just giving you a sneak preview of these. There are more on R1b, R1, and R1a but I’m narrowing it down. @Tim take a look at these and you can start to see why I thought your comment was silly. I just think it makes sense that these populations diverged as state formation was beginning.
