This study analyzes patterns of variation in eight GM and seven Rhesus (RH) haplotypes across sub-Saharan Africa. We examine the concordance with genetic patterns of both geographic and language-family relationships by spatial analysis and ordination techniques. The genetic variation has significant spatial structure, but positive autocorrelation declines neither asymptotically nor proportionally with increasing...
