Genetic evidence of an early exit of Homo sapiens sapiens from Africa through eastern Africa.

Nature genetics - 1 Dec 1999

Abstract excerpt

The out-of-Africa scenario has hitherto provided little evidence for the precise route by which modern humans left Africa. Two major routes of dispersal have been hypothesized: one through North Africa into the Levant, documented by fossil remains, and one through Ethiopia along South Asia, for which little, if any, evidence exists. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can be used to trace maternal ancestry. The geographic...
