Sex-biased migration in humans: what should we expect from genetic data?

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Mar 2006

Wilkins Jon F, Marlowe Frank W

Abstract excerpt

Different patterns of mitochondrial and Y-chromosome diversity have been cited as evidence of long-term patrilocality in human populations. However, what patterns are expected depends on the nature of the sampling scheme. Samples from a local region reveal only the recent demographic history of that region, whereas sampling over larger geographic scales accesses older demographic processes. A historical change in...
