A formal test of linguistic and genetic coevolution in native Central and South America.

American journal of physical anthropology - 1 Apr 2007

Hunley K L, Cabana G S, Merriwether D A, Long J C

Abstract excerpt

This paper investigates a mechanism of linguistic and genetic coevolution in Native Central and South America. This mechanism proposes that a process of population fissions, expansions into new territories, and isolation of ancestral and descendant groups will produce congruent language and gene trees. To evaluate this population fissions mechanism, we collected published mtDNA sequences for 1,381 individuals...
