1. Interesting but...

I hadn't heard that before. I will have to go read the Journal but from the Discovery recap it sounds like they might be massaging the hypothesis to fit the 25k bp data point. Again, it may be in the Science article but I'd be curious to know what mechanism the researchers envision isolated the Central Berengian population from their contemporaries in Eastern Asia. As far as I know, there is an uninterrupted cultural sequence in NE Asia throughout the late Pleistocene and I've never heard of any physical or glacial barrier that would have prevented the mixing of those populations.
