Abstract excerpt
Allelic frequency data derived from five polymorphic Alu insertion loci and five point mutation polymorphic loci were compared to determine their ability to infer phylogenetic relationships among human populations. While point mutation polymorphisms inferred a monophyletic Caucasian clade that is corroborated by other studies, these data failed to support the generally accepted monophyly of Orientals with native...
