Abstract excerpt
The extent of genetic differentiation between seven South African Bantu-speaking groups (Zulu, Xhosa, Tsonga/Shangaan, Southern Sotho, Pedi, Tswana, and Venda) was assessed from coancestry coefficients (F(ST)) estimated from autosomal serogenetic, DNA, and Y-chromosome DNA haplotypes.
