"First you dismiss the correlation I’ve found between music and tone language."

Allow me to interject, Victor. You haven't found a correlation between tones and music. First, you acknowledged that there's no functional dependencies between the two (as there's between yodel and glottalization). Second, you dismissed a cognitive science monograph that suggested that such a connection may exist, specifically between a certain type of tonal languages and musical pitch in general but you don't even have a map for the distribution of register vs. contour tones and you don't seem to care about this distinction. Third, you dismissed in-depth linguistic studies (by Blevins and others) that argued for parallel evolution and diffusion of tones in different parts of the world. (You tend to latch on any genetic study that seems authoritative to you, while dismissing all studies of languages produced by authoritative linguists.) Fourth, you dismissed a serious implication of these studies for your mapping correlations, namely that 10K years ago (50K after the proposed out of African migration) there probably was no similarities in the distribution of music styles and tones.

The genetic study you brought up is interesting, though, and deserves a further look. It's also a bit oldish from the point of view of haplogroup C research. Do Redd et al. refer to what would later become subhaplogroup C5? In this case, we have three remote "pockets" of C lineages - North America, Australia and South India - plus, of course, Asian regions in between. This triangulation is different from your southern route signature.
