Genetic variation reveals large-scale population expansion and migration during the expansion of Bantu-speaking peoples.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Oct 2014

Li Sen, Schlebusch Carina, Jakobsson Mattias

Abstract excerpt

The majority of sub-Saharan Africans today speak a number of closely related languages collectively referred to as 'Bantu' languages. The current distribution of Bantu-speaking populations has been found to largely be a consequence of the movement of people rather than a diffusion of language alone. Linguistic and single marker genetic studies have generated various hypotheses regarding the timing and the routes...
