African genetic diversity provides novel insights into evolutionary history and local adaptations.

Human molecular genetics - 1 Aug 2018

Choudhury Ananyo, Aron Shaun, Sengupta Dhriti, Hazelhurst Scott, Ramsay Michèle

Abstract excerpt

Genetic variation and susceptibility to disease are shaped by human demographic history and adaptation. We can now study the genomes of extant Africans and uncover traces of population migration, admixture, assimilation and selection by applying sophisticated computational algorithms. There are four major ethnolinguistic divisions among present day Africans: Hunter-gatherer populations in southern and central...
