Genetic drift can obscure population history: problem and solution.

Human biology - 1 Feb 1996

Relethford J H

Abstract excerpt

Genetic distances between populations can be derived from a wide variety of data and have been applied to studies of population structure and history ranging from local groups to an entire species. Genetic distances measure the effects of both population history (historical relations and migratio...
