Of Paternal Family Trees, Nested Hierarchy, and a Y Chromosome Cladogram

In the OP of another thread I posted the following challenge:

I challenge anyone to search for "paternal family tree and nested hierarchy" to see if Zachriel's bogus example comes up and is used by anyone except Zachriel- someone with expertise in the subject would be nice. Good luck.


Zachriel actually posted the following link in an attempt to meet that challenge:

Out of Africa and back again: nested cladistic analysis of human Y chromosome variation

Unlike Zachriel, I read what my opponents reference. Perhaps Zachriel didn't understand the challenge. The other option would be a combination of stupidity, ignorance and dishonesty.

I specifically asked for an example of a "paternal family tree and nested hierarchy".

If we had the DNA of the males from say 10 generations, could we, by looking at the Y chromosome alone, then properly place the DNA in the correct sequence of descent- that is starting with the one and properly filling in each subsequent level? Absolutely not. A son's Y chromosome could be an exact copy of his father's. One son could get a point mutation that is reverted in his son. And the list goes on.

So the challenge remains:

I challenge anyone to search for "paternal family tree and nested hierarchy" to see if Zachriel's bogus example comes up and is used by anyone except Zachriel- someone with expertise in the subject would be nice. Good luck.

Please keep in mind a summary of the principles of hierarchy theory
