"Half of all males in Western Europe descended from one man" by the Week

This is what the data show: that half of the Y chromosomes in the sample (and a very small sample at that: probably no more than 300 out of the 1200...and probably 50% less than that) share enough similarity with each other, with a statistically similar variation among them, to attribute that variation to changes over a 4,000 year time period, consistent with a common Y chromosome subject to random mutation that half of them all share.

What the data do not show: That this Y chromosome is the product of a bronze-age king who slaughtered all his foes with his technological superiority and impregnated all the women in a "new European order."

That story we're reading into this is susceptible to what Nassim Taleb would call "the narrative fallacy," because it certainly is an agreeable story to our already well established position on hypergamy.

But we MGTOW would do well to guard against it, especially when we have such a strong thought about how the world works, so that we don't reach a false conclusion.

We can only speculate as to what happened. The best explanation is that they may have resulted from advances in technology that could be controlled by small groups of men."

You can't make this Shit up

It was already known that all men in the world are descended from one man.
