A serial founder effect model for human settlement out of Africa.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jan 2009

Deshpande Omkar, Batzoglou Serafim, Feldman Marcus W, Cavalli-Sforza L Luca

Abstract excerpt

The increasing abundance of human genetic data has shown that the geographical patterns of worldwide genetic diversity are best explained by human expansion out of Africa. This expansion is modelled well by prolonged migration from a single origin in Africa with multiple subsequent serial founding events. We discuss a new simulation model for the serial founder effect out of Africa and compare it with results...
