Recovering the geographic origin of early modern humans by realistic and spatially explicit simulations.

Genome research - 1 Aug 2005

Ray Nicolas, Currat Mathias, Berthier Pierre, Excoffier Laurent

Abstract excerpt

Most genetic and archeological evidence argue in favor of a recent and unique origin of modern humans in sub-Saharan Africa, but no attempt has ever been made at quantifying the likelihood of this model, relative to alternative hypotheses of human evolution. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of using multilocus genetic data to correctly infer the geographic origin of humans, and to distinguish between...
