jgm00031-Skorecki-DNA-Assertion

A combination of these neutral mutations, known as a haplotype, can serve as a genetic signature of a man's male ancestry.
 
How does the above paragraph prove
(a) this mutation began 3300 years ago
(b) it began in Asia
(c) Aaron was the first to have it.
 
haplotype ... big word
No it is not a signature, which is placed by design
It IS a neutral mutation
 
A mutation is a random event.
 
This mutation can NOT link any one to any ancestors IF there is no DNA of the suspect ancestors to compare it with !
