Response to Comments on “Phonemic Diversity Supports a Serial Founder Effect Model of Language Expansion from Africa”
Year: 2012
Type: article
Abstract: Concerns have been raised about my proposal that global phonemic diversity was shaped by a serial founder effect during the human expansion from Africa. I welcome this discussion of new data and alternative interpretations. Although this work highlights interesting questions for future research, it does not undermine support for a serial founder effect model of expansion of language from Africa.
