The genetic legacy of western Bantu migrations.

Human genetics - 1 Aug 2005

Beleza Sandra, Gusmão Leonor, Amorim António, Carracedo Angel, Salas Antonio

Abstract excerpt

There is little knowledge on the demographic impact of the western wave of the Bantu expansion. Only some predictions could be made based mainly on indirect archaeological, linguistic, and genetic evidences. Apart from the very limited available data on the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) side, there are not, however, Y-chromosome studies revealing-if any-the male contribution of western Bantu-farmers. To elucidate the...
