Approach to Comparative Anthropology - II

Justification:
5. Neither language nor culture are neutral attributes.
6. Archaeology has limitations due to;
6.1 Scarcity of data due geographical constraints
6.2 Inability to detect assimilations
Drawback:
7. Founder effect
8. Statistical age calculation methods that aren't real
Method:
9. Creation of nodes based on;
9.1 Observation of consistency of haplogroup distribution across isolated tribes
9.2 Observation of haplogroup distribution in surrounding non-tribal population
10. Fitting comparative philology and archaeology data to the distribution of male and female neutral markers.

Quetzalcoatl is back up again. I don't know the cause but I can speculate that it was zetaboards updating their server.
