Surprising to me is that there are any Na-Dene languages matching Algic, although in that part of Canada (central/western boreal forest) there have probably been several millennia of contact between Algic and Na-Dene speakers, and plenty of opportunity for gene flow.Michael Catonhttp://cognitionandevolution.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-36780778659024322302011-02-02T01:38:11.414-07:002011-02-02T01:38:11.414-07:00I could only find this older paper which essential...I could only find <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pgen.0030185" rel="nofollow">this older paper</a> which essentially produces the same results (with less pretense probably). However I recall a paper that reached down to K=16 or something like that and certainly that did split the Mesoamerican-Andean cluster, which may be an illusion to some extent.Majuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369840391933337204noreply@blogger.com
