Genetic evidence for a higher female migration rate in humans.

Nature genetics - 1 Nov 1998

Seielstad M T, Minch E, Cavalli-Sforza L L

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial DNA and the Y chromosome have been used extensively in the study of modern human origins and other phylogenetic questions, but not in the context of their sex-specific modes of transmission. mtDNA is transmitted exclusively by females, whereas the Y chromosome is passed only among males. As a result, differences in the reproductive output or migration rate of males and females will influence the...
