Re: Projection much?
Alan Brown, "...overwhelmed..."
With each generation, about one-quarter of your genetic code is lost forever. It's caused by the Maternal (or Paternal) Lineage Extinction Ratio MLER or PLER being about 25% per generation. This is the same 'force' that causes speciation (making species).
End result, if your bring two populations together, they'll merge and one will be overwhelmed by the other.
Same thing explains the Out of Africa observation of population 'necking'. No need for near-extinction events, the observed DNA 'necking' will be a moving attribute.
