15 Oct 2014 | | Abstract: | Earlier this year, we published a scathing critique of a paper by Mendez et
al. (2013) in which the claim was made that a Y chromosome was 237,000-581,000
years old. Elhaik et al. (2014) also attacked a popular article in Scientific
American by the senior author of Mendez et al. (2013), whose title was "Sex
with other human species might have been the secret of Homo sapiens’s [sic]
success" (Hammer 2013). Five of the 11 authors of Mendez et al. (2013) have now
written a "rebuttal," and we were allowed to reply.
Unfortunately, our reply was censored for being "too sarcastic and inflamed."
References were removed, meanings were castrated, and a dedication in the
Acknowledgments was deleted. Now, that the so-called rebuttal by 45% of the
authors of Mendez et al. (2013) has been published together with our
vasectomized reply, we decided to make public our entire reply to the so called
"rebuttal." In fact, we go one step further, and publish a version of the reply
that has not even been self-censored.
