Table 3. Ages of microsatellite variation and mean variance of microsatellite loci within E-V13 haplogroup in Turkey and Greece.

Region (N)	Age of microsatellite variationa ±SEb (ky)
Konya-Turkeyc (10)	9.4±2.9
Macedonian Greecec (8)	8.5±4.5
Greecec (8)	4.8±1.6
Nea Nikomedeia (North Greece)d (6)	8.6±4.0
Seklo and Dimini (Central Greece)d (20)	4.3±1.8
Lerna and Franchthi Cave (South Greece)d (20)	9.2±4.3

^aValues computed over the following microsatellite loci: DYS19, DYS388, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS439 and DYS460 (values of YCAa,b were excluded from the calculation because of the impossibility of assigning each allele to one or the other locus of this ambiguous system). Ages of microsatellite variation were estimated as reported in Sengupta et al.³⁷ Owing to the small sample sizes, the estimates of the expansion time should be considered indicative.

^bSE was computed over loci.^{43, 57}
