Recent research has shown that both preverbal infants and non-human great apes can make predictions I reported on the current state of Nostratic theory here. A part of the review concerned a sharp critique of Allan Bomhard by George Starostin. George Starostin cited a review of Bomhard by a Soviet-Russian Uralist, Eugene Khelimskii (also spelled Helimski) . This is just a short note to reflect on the two principal ways of visualizing population genetic data: Circular and Linear. Both phylogenetic trees and admixture proportions can be visualized this way.

In-between the sensible exchanges on the out-of-America hypothesis with genome blogger, Max Lushington, I read a fascinating piece of Russian web scholarship.

As a reminder, A2758G and G7146A were highlighted in I spent the last few days posting at a forum called Anthrogenica.com debating archaic admixture in mtDNA and Y-DNA, answering questions regarding viable alternatives to out-of-Africa and observing the online behaviors of science bloggers.  As always, my counterarguments against the out-of-Africa theory Over at Anthrogenica, I ve been having some heated (as always) but this time also productive discussions regarding the interpretation of currently available genetic evidence.
