[Genetic traces of the trans-Atlantic slave trade].

Medecine sciences : M/S - 1 Oct 2020

Abstract excerpt

More than 10 million enslaved Africans were transported to the Americas between 1500 and 1900. Recent genetic studies investigate regional African ancestry components in present-day Africa-Americans, and allow comparison with the extensive records documenting these deportations. The genetic evidence generally agrees with the historical records but brings additional insights in this dark episode of human history.
