The evolution of human genetic and phenotypic variation in Africa.

Current biology : CB - 23 Feb 2010

Campbell Michael C, Tishkoff Sarah A

Abstract excerpt

Africa is the birthplace of modern humans, and is the source of the geographic expansion of ancestral populations into other regions of the world. Indigenous Africans are characterized by high levels of genetic diversity within and between populations. The pattern of genetic variation in these populations has been shaped by demographic events occurring over the last 200,000 years. The dramatic variation in...
