African female heritage in Iberia: a reassessment of mtDNA lineage distribution in present times.

Human biology - 1 Apr 2005

Pereira Luísa, Cunha Carla, Alves Cíntia, Amorim António

Abstract excerpt

The Iberian peninsula is a peripheral region of Europe in close proximity to Africa. Its inhabitants have an overall mtDNA genetic landscape typical of European background, although with signs of some African influence, whose features we deemed to disclose by analyzing available mtDNA HVRI distributions and new data. We analyzed 1,045 sequences. The most relevant results are the following: (1) North African...
