N.B. Elhaik鈥檚 PhD supervisor, Dan Graur, was appointed as an associate editor of Genome Biology and Evolution in 2009 and served in this position until about 2018. Interestingly Elhaik posted on Facebook that he had trouble getting the article published in conventional journals:

Note that Dan Graur is Elhaik鈥檚 PhD supervisor. According to his DNA work has been dismissed as pseudoscience: See also the entry on our genetic astrology website on his 鈥淚nto Africa theory鈥�.听

23rd January 2014

The claims of statistical errors and data manipulation were repeated in an interview with Eran Elhaik published in a by his PhD supervisor Dan Graur.

15th October 2014

Mendez et al published in the European Journal of Human Genetics pointing out that the authors' criticisms resulted from "a misunderstanding of population genetic theory, as well as a misrepresentation of the methodology of Mendez et al". They also discussed the "technical and conceptual flaws" that undermined the claims:

A more detailed rebuttal pointing out additional errors of understanding was published as to the paper.听

Publication of a paper in Genome Research by Karmin et al. titled 鈥�".

7th April 2016

Publication in the American Journal of Human Genetics by Mendez et al 鈥溾�� where they estimate the TMRCA of Y chromosomes in modern humans to be 275 (95% CI 241 - 305) thousand years.

Note on estimating Time to the Most Recent Ancestor (TMRCA) for the Y chromosome

A range of estimates for the Y chromosome TMRCA exist. Such estimates are based on different data, different assumptions about the mutation rate and process, and different mathematical approaches. Population geneticists usually try to incorporate uncertainties about the mutation rate and process, as well as other factors, into their calculations. While it is unlikely that they factor in all the sources of error, they typically report their TMRCA estimates with confidence intervals; the more sources of error that are considered, the wider the confidence interval. It is worth noting that all four published estimates of the TMRCA of Y chromosomes in modern humans mentioned above 鈥� including those published by Elhaik et al and Mendez et al 鈥� have substantial overlap in their confidence intervals (see figure below). It is also worth noting that if we knew the exact TMRCA for the Y chromosome in modern humans with absolute confidence, this date would tell us very little about the evolution of our species.

It is therefore puzzling that Eran Elhaik should be so impassioned, and in places, rude about other researchers鈥� estimates of this rather trivial date.听
