Abstract excerpt
The evolutionary histories and relationships among African, Eurasian, and Pacific Island populations are investigated by using observations on five polymorphic restriction sites in the beta-globin gene cluster. We present new data on 222 chromosomes from a global sample and combine these with pre...
