Is that saying that the mtDNA studies support
demographic replacement?
Neaderthal and CroMagnon were gentically closer 23-25 thou years
ago than they were more recently?

If they are only looking at mtDNA wouldn't that
only be able to establish that Neaderthal's never
had CroMagnon(-like) mothers?
Surely it wouldn't preclude Neaderthal and Cro-Magnon
interbreeding in any case (especially with relatively
few Neaderthal sequences).
... which I guess leads me to agree that the studies
aren't even remotely conclusive in that regard

Could the same data mean that there was a small
population at about that time, or is there other
data that suggests that before that time the
pop. was larger?

So all the data suggests (depending on how you might
choose to critique it) is that circa 40,000 ya there was
a relatively small 'european' population ????
