Nuclear and mitochondrial genetic variation in the Yanomamö: a test case for ancient DNA studies of prehistoric populations.

American journal of physical anthropology - 1 Mar 2002

Williams Sloan R, Chagnon Napoleon A, Spielman Richard S

Abstract excerpt

Ancient DNA provides a potentially revolutionary way to study biological relationships in prehistoric populations, but genetic patterns are complex and require careful interpretation based on robust, well-tested models. In this study, nuclear and mitochondrial markers were compared in the Yanomamö, to assess how well each data set could differentiate among closely related groups. The villages selected for the...
