Any plan to remove the paywal from older articles of your substack? @Razib Khan
no. but i can be convinced otherwise
just don’t want to be caught tracking too many things
Oh ok. Hope you get the free time and enough mental energy to remove the paywall soon. Have read 8 books so far this year (big jump for me) and half of those were recommended by your substack. Will be nice to read more short form (compared to books) content too
Did you see that R1a-L657 formation date, in Y-full tree site, is now 2350 BCE? Or this new tool to solve Y chromosome phylogeny?

The Sri Lankan mesolithic samples’ nuclear dna is supposed to be released by the end of this year. Let’s see what happens.
That Sri Lankan sample….it was announced 2 years ago and it was supposed to come out last year summer or something. Guessing shit happened
If the reddit who reported on it is to be trusted, he said that they told him that they had problem processing the samples and that the expected date for completion has been pushed to before the end of 2024. That update was in late 2023.
very likely that the ganging up of ‘5 eyes’ against india will push it into chinese lap after russia gives some sort of assurance of holding back china. if only china was a bit foresighted….
