When modern humans left Africa ca. 60,000 years ago (60 kya), they were already infected
with Helicobacter pylori, and these bacteria have subsequently diversified in parallel with …

Although fossil remains show that anatomically modern humans dispersed out of Africa into
the Near East∼ 100 to 130 ka, genetic evidence from extant populations has suggested that …

It is now widely agreed that the Native American founders originated from a Beringian

Different lines of evidence point to the resettlement of much of western and central Europe
by populations from the Franco-Cantabrian region during the Late Glacial and Postglacial …

Abstract Background Complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genome analyses have greatly
improved the phylogeny and phylogeography of human mtDNA. Human mitochondrial DNA …

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) lineages of macro-haplogroup L (excluding the derived L3
branches M and N) represent the majority of the typical sub-Saharan mtDNA variability. In …

Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in rare and common forms of type 2 diabetes
