Seems to me that when the M222+ mutation first occurred, the mutation could
in no way be said to have caused kinship to suddenly cease, so the most
likely candidates for the origins of M222+ must be those family/clan/tribal
groupings that contain significant proportions of both (L21+, M222-) and
(L21+, M222+).

If this is so, and my understanding that M222+ is a 'child' of L21+ is
correct, this would seem to imply that M222+ almost definitely arose in
Ireland, sprung from L21+.


They've been arguing on the GEN-DNA list for the last month about where L21

originated. Some claim Ireland; some claim the Celtic fringe of the
British
Isles in general; some say the continent. I don't think anyone knows for
sure but that doesn't stop the theorizing.
