The molecular genetics of European ancestry.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 29 Jan 1999

Sykes B

Abstract excerpt

In an earlier paper we proposed, on the basis of mitochondrial control region variation, that the bulk of modern European mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) diversity had its roots in the European Upper Palaeolithic. Refining the mtDNA phylogeny and enlarging the sample size both within Europe and the Middle East still support this interpretation and indicate three separate phases of colonization: (i) the Early Upper...
