And by the way, please notice this counter-point to Soares' work just published at PLoS ONE by Loogväli et al. (Kivisild's team).

Notice in particular table 6, that gives a significative older date to mtDNA M (75 Kya) than to N (68 Kya). They specifically mention that they do not get the same substitution rates as Soares.

Needless to say that I also have my reserves regarding this paper, specially on the recent ages attributed for Pan-Homo and intra-Homo divergence that IMO should be at least 23% older and maybe as much as double.
