Ancient and modern mitochondrial DNA sequences and the colonization of the Pacific.

Electrophoresis - 1 Aug 1997

Hagelberg E

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a valuable tool for the study of recent human evolution because it is easy to analyse, is inherited uniparentally and has a relatively rapid rate of evolution. mtDNA analysis has been used extensively for the elucidation of the pattern of migrations of human populations. Several studies have focused on the Pacific because Polynesia was settled by humans for the first time relatively...
