African human diversity, origins and migrations.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Dec 2006

Reed Floyd A, Tishkoff Sarah A

Abstract excerpt

The continent of Africa is thought to be the site of origin of all modern humans and is the more recent origin of millions of African Americans. Although Africa has the highest levels of human genetic diversity both within and between populations, it is under-represented in studies of human genetics. Recent advances have been made in understanding the origins of modern humans within Africa, the rate of...
