Please note that an article already exists about this as a scientific subject Haplogroup CT (Y-DNA), so this article is an article about an out-of-date speculation, which is not well known.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 09:04, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Once again Andrew, you're completely lost. The term "Eurasian Adam" does not imply that M168 originated in Eurasia. It simply reflects the fact that it gave rise to all Eurasian haplogroups. The article clearly states:

Eurasian Adam (also known as Australian/Eurasian Adam) is the name researchers have given to the man who is defined as the common ancestor of all non-African people living today. Eurasian Adam is defined by a single mutation: M168. According to current research, he was an African man whose descendants migrated out of Africa and became the only lineage to survive away from Africa. He was Haplogroup CT (formerly Haplogroup CR).

Try actually reading and understanding articles before you propose they be deleted. ---- Small Victory (talk) 13:20, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
