Now the real reason for posting:
Came across this global ethnicity map which I thought the dearly beloved readers of this form may find interest in:

Also came across this less useful map that sparked a thought:

While the flow of Y chromosomes is in large part influenced by earlier settlers who's identity groups were able to expand more easily without conflict, I think Y chromosomes could in part be used as basis for tracing identity groups through longer periods of time. If you view female's role in evolution, it is to carry the species forward. An evolutionary "win", when it comes to crisis wars, means the winning side's males (assuming not a complete genocide) would then reproduce with the losing sides females. Thus the spread of the y chromosome correlates loosely with "winning" identity groups. This isn't air tight obviously. For one the identity groups would have to be stable over long periods of time to enter the genome and have homogeneous genetics which doesn't hold as well in modern times but for ancient times this assumption would hold much better and give a GD history over the long arch of human history. Thoughts?
