MtDNA control region variation affirms diversity and deep sub-structure in populations from southern Africa.

BMC evolutionary biology - 27 Feb 2013

Schlebusch Carina M, Lombard Marlize, Soodyall Himla

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The current San and Khoe populations are remnant groups of a much larger and widely dispersed population of hunter-gatherers and pastoralists, who had exclusive occupation of southern Africa before the influx of Bantu-speakers from 2 ka (ka = kilo annum [thousand years] old/ago) and sea-borne immigrants within the last 350 years. Here we use mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) to examine the population...
