Возникновение гаплогруппы Е-М81: рубеж эр или неолит?
The Origin of E-M81 Haplogoup: the Turn of the Era or the Neolithic?

Summary/Abstract: Haplogroup E-M81 is now proposed to be dated around 2000 BP. However, an analysis of the historical context strongly argues against such a late dating. Apparently, this haplogroup, which shows a pronounced connection with the speakers of the Berber-Libyan languages, arose at the dawn of their formation, but after the separation of the Berber-Libyan languages from the Chadic (in whose speakers E-M81 is completely absent). Taking into account the calculations of the linguists on the dating of these linguistic processes, the emergence of E-M81 should be attributed to the time shortly after 8,000 BP. Apparently, we are talking about the Neolithic (Late Neolithic, or even earlier). Thus, haplogroups E-M81 demonstrates a very expressive case of discrepancy between the dating proposed by the geneticists and the historical and archeological data.
