BKCunningham,

"By your comments, you are telling me that it has recently been decided that things aren't as scientists have previously thought and believed they were with Mitochondrial DNA and dating? The prior dating methods were flawed? Is that what you are saying? They are correct this time, for certain? And the previous theory is wrong and has been disproven? Hmmm"

No, I did not say anything nor post anything about prior dating methods being flawed. The article I posted had nothing in it about dating methods or previus theory being wrong and disproven. Please go back and re-read what in in my posting - the summary of the article by Ann Gibbons.

Anyhow, at your request, I will not belabor this anymore. I hope to remain on good terms with you.
