Genetic structure in African populations: implications for human demographic history.

Cold Spring Harbor symposia on quantitative biology - 1 Jan 2009

Lambert C A, Tishkoff S A

Abstract excerpt

The continent of Africa is the source of all anatomically modern humans that dispersed across the planet during the past 100,000 years. As such, African populations are characterized by high genetic diversity and low levels of linkage disequilibrium (LD) among loci, as compared to populations from other continents. African populations also possess a number of genetic adaptations that have evolved in response to...
