Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To propose a new approach for comparing genetic and linguistic diversity in populations belonging to distantly related groups. BACKGROUND: Comparisons of linguistic and genetic differences have proved powerful tools to reconstruct human demographic history. Current models assume on both sides that similarities reflect either descent from common ancestry or the balance between isolation and contact....
