Population inter-connectivity over the past 120,000 years explains distribution and diversity of Central African hunter-gatherers

2021-06-21

Abstract excerpt

The evolutionary history of African hunter-gatherers holds key insights into modern human diversity. Here we combine ethnographic and genetic data on Central African hunter-gatherers (CAHG) to show that their current distribution and density is explained by ecology rather than by a displacement to marginal habitats due to recent farming expansions, as commonly assumed. We also predict hunter-gatherer presence acro...
