Evolutionary Genetics and Admixture in African Populations.

Genome biology and evolution - 6 Apr 2023

Pfennig Aaron, Petersen Lindsay N, Kachambwa Paidamoyo, Lachance Joseph

Abstract excerpt

As the ancestral homeland of our species, Africa contains elevated levels of genetic diversity and substantial population structure. Importantly, African genomes are heterogeneous: They contain mixtures of multiple ancestries, each of which have experienced different evolutionary histories. In this review, we view population genetics through the lens of admixture, highlighting how multiple demographic events have...
