The Countercurrents of Prehistory

What Rare Genes Can Say About Early Human Migration

By: Donald N. Yates

Narrated by: Julie Little

The Rare Genes from History and Basic Haplotype Test of DNA Consultants can produce sharply delineated patterns of genetic matches. From the Helen Gene and Peoples of the Steppes Gene to the Sundaland Gene and Aztlan Gene, rare values on your autosomal DNA profile are better than common ones in analyzing your various ethnic strains and deep history since the last Ice Age.

Foreword by Jane Mellin.

most important book in ages

Countercurrents of Prehistory is a must-read for anyone interested in ancient history. I received this book with more anticipation than any book in a long time.
He is the only one talking about the intersection of the ancient matriarchy and the real peopling of the Americas before Columbus.
He has finally compiled a comprehensive, respectable book that presents evidence for Stephen Oppenheimer's seminal book East of Eden, on the Austronesian Hypothesis.
The Austronesian Hypothesis states that civilization arose just once, among "Civilization Zero", also known as the Prospector culture, on the drowned continent of Sundaland, and that Austronesian culture-bearers carried it to every other civilized people.
Since he has his own geneology company, he is the only one reporting honestly on Native American genetics and discussing the rare genes and STR haplotypes that prove the hypothesis.
The narration is great too.
