The African diaspora: history, adaptation and health.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Dec 2016

Rotimi Charles N, Tekola-Ayele Fasil, Baker Jennifer L, Shriner Daniel

Abstract excerpt

The trans-Atlantic slave trade brought millions of Africans to the New World. Advances in genomics are providing novel insights into the history and health of Africans and the diasporan populations. Recent examples reviewed here include the unraveling of substantial hunter-gatherer and 'Eurasian' admixtures across sub-Saharan Africa, expanding our understanding of ancestral African genetics; the global ubiquity...
