Mutation rate and excess African heterozygosity.

Abstract excerpt

Global studies of within-group genetic variation have revealed a tendency for some traits, but not all, to show higher heterozygosity in sub-Saharan African populations. Although excess African diversity has been interpreted as reflecting a greater "age" of sub-Saharan African populations, more recent research has shown that this excess is more likely a consequence of a larger African long-term effective...
