Origins of the Moken Sea Gypsies inferred from mitochondrial hypervariable region and whole genome sequences.

Journal of human genetics - 1 Feb 2009

Abstract excerpt

The origins of the Moken 'Sea Gypsies,' a group of traditionally boat-dwelling nomadic foragers, remain speculative despite previous examinations from linguistic, sociocultural and genetic perspectives. We explored Moken origin(s) and affinities by comparing whole mitochondrial genome and hypervariable segment I sequences from 12 Moken individuals, sampled from four islands of the Mergui Archipelago, to other...
