Diversity and age of the four major mtDNA haplogroups, and their implications for the peopling of the New World.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Dec 1997

Bonatto S L, Salzano F M

Abstract excerpt

Despite considerable investigation, two main questions on the origin of Native Americans remain the topic of intense debate-namely, the number and time of the migration(s) into the Americas. Using the 720 available Amerindian mtDNA control-region sequences, we reanalyzed the nucleotide diversity...
