L128(A00)


P305(A1)’s parent was L128(A00) and his brother was L108(A0-T). “Mendez et al. (2013) announced the discovery of a previously unknown haplogroup, for which they proposed the designator "A00". Current estimates put this age at around 270,000 years ago; this is older than current estimates for the age of anatomically modern humans.” Does this mean that we are now into the previous version of hominid, or that the previous dates for humans needs to be revised? Or possibly their estimate on this guy’s age is inaccurate? 

“This previously unknown haplogroup was discovered in 2012 in the Y chromosome of an African-American man who had submitted his DNA for commercial genealogical analysis. (Because his first known historical patrilineal ancestor was Albert Perry, the haplotype is also known as "Perry's Y.”) The researchers later found the same haplogroup in genetic data of eleven Mbo males of Western Cameroon (out of a sample of 174).”
