The impact of recent events on human genetic diversity.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 19 Mar 2012

Jobling Mark A

Abstract excerpt

The historical record tells us stories of migrations, population expansions and colonization events in the last few thousand years, but what was their demographic impact? Genetics can throw light on this issue, and has mostly done so through the maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the male-specific Y chromosome. However, there are a number of problems, including marker ascertainment bias, possible...
