Female-to-male breeding ratio in modern humans-an analysis based on historical recombinations.

American journal of human genetics - 12 Mar 2010

Labuda Damian, Lefebvre Jean-François, Nadeau Philippe, Roy-Gagnon Marie-Hélène

Abstract excerpt

Was the past genetic contribution of women and men to the current human population equal? Was polygyny (excess of breeding women) present among hominid lineages? We addressed these questions by measuring the ratio of population recombination rates between the X chromosome and the autosomes, rho(X)/rho(A). The X chromosome recombines only in female meiosis, whereas autosomes undergo crossovers in both sexes; thus,...
