Mitochondrial footprints of human expansions in Africa.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Sept 1997

Watson E, Forster P, Richards M, Bandelt H J

Abstract excerpt

mtDNA studies support an African origin for modern Eurasians, but expansion events within Africa have not previously been investigated. We have therefore analyzed 407 mtDNA control-region sequences from 13 African ethnic groups. A number of sequences (13%) were highly divergent and coalesced on the "mitochondrial Eve" in Africans. The remaining sequences also ultimately coalesced on this sequence but fell into...
