<div style="font-size: 12pt;"><font color="#000000" size="2"><font style="background-color: transparent;" color="#000000" size="2">Thus only a tiny proportion of the modern gene pool might actually be "Bronze Age".

<div>I don't understand this
statement at all. Surely everyone alive today is descended from someone
in the Bronze Age. Do you mean that many genes have mutated and weren't
around in the Bronze Age?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>David Clarke<br><br>David,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I didn't put that very well did I? You're quite right, of course
we all have Bronze Age ancestors. But most of them didn't live where
we now live. For most Americans, Australians etc. that's pretty
obvious, but the implication of the article was that the genetics were
showing a continuity in that area of Europe back to the Bronze Age. My
point was that nearly all of the total gene pool of the people there
could still come from immigrants. Those incomers also had Bronze Age
forbears - but somewhere else.</div>
