Human genetic differentiation across the Strait of Gibraltar.

BMC evolutionary biology - 3 Aug 2010

Currat Mathias, Poloni Estella S, Sanchez-Mazas Alicia

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The Strait of Gibraltar is a crucial area in the settlement history of modern humans because it represents a possible connection between Africa and Europe. So far, genetic data were inconclusive about the fact that this strait constitutes a barrier to gene flow, as previous results were highly variable depending on the genetic locus studied. The present study evaluates the impact of the Gibraltar...
