@bejee44,
I have read through this only once.
I am not good at maths. But it is something I would accept for a certain amount of time as truth before absolutely questioning it all. Albeit in a kind of fudged and broad way.
I will however state that the average generation length of 3o years appears too low to me. Particularly if 1500 is where you start from.
I base this on the belief that you pulled that figure out as a random gesture of attempt. I think perhaps the weight of 'bad V good' information has swayed your choice of test figure. I mean I think perhaps 30 seems accurate, because we hear of death and disease more than people living to fairly old ages, it is common practice to focus on the upsetting.
Either I am wrong, or real statistics are not in your grasp as yet.
I would be interested to know, is it really so? I know that death and disease was very bad, but really? 30?, as an average?, including 1800 to 2k?.
Medical science certainly has come a long way if that is so, given people can face multiple environmental variables these days and live til 70.
That you postulate we have an ancestral relation in China is of high interest to me. In fact I would be somewhat happy.. Perhaps surprisingly.
Thank you for this post, I will be keeping tabs on it..
To see if anyone has anything to add.
